My first thought was that is isn't feasible at the moment. My second thought was that it defenitely would be a step in the right direction.

Caligustus' plan was something amongst the lines of "destabilise Mirus enough so that war keeps raging on even after I should die or the Imperium should collapse" and he's been pretty sucessful in that regard. The Berserker Onslaught wasn't really a military conquest - rather, it was a thorough attempt at destabilisatng all of Mirusian by collapsing their governments. The result would a heavily weakened Mirus ripe for more wars and where distrust reigned sumpreme either way - which, of course, happened. Caligustus really didn't mind that he died in the process - he realised his goal anyways: a Mirus in a constant sate of war/near-war.

This can only be defeated by coöperation, which is in turn is hampered by aforementioned distrust. Caligustus didn't really plan for the Ultimate Lord per se -there's no way he could have foreseen that exact event- but the Persa-Mendel unwillingness to demilitarise is (in a way) exactly what he hoped to accomplish.
