Understood! Given time constraints on my end, I was hoping that you guys would take up the bulk of the writing for the first part of the war, and I'll weigh in heavily for the second part involving the French.

For the sake of simplicity, we might want to have a short period of pretend-peace between France and the Mirusians. The Grand Navy of the (French) Empire, while formidable and enormous at this point, is unwieldy because of its size and inexperience. It needs time to complete its pivot back to Mirus. On the Mirusian side, they also need time to reorganize after their lunge into lightly defended Allied space. Now that they're confronting the mainstay of an advanced foe, they're going to need to shift gears to match. Plus, they're going to also have to test France's commitment to fighting this conflict and call their bluff, if they're bluffing at all.
