That date is fine with me. The war would have to end in the 2790s (the 2260s in the Medwedian calendar).

Unfortunately, the technology and fiction style of the Talven Empire is too integrated into my fiction (and previous collaborative projects) for me to change it entirely into a hard sci-fi nation. I'm happy for their FTL drives to work at the speeds you suggested, and to use fusion-powered engines, but I can't make their ships rotate. The Talven navy is designed for space opera-style battles, so I am limited in the extent to which I can have their ships move realistically through space.

The Talven Empire won't have fought anything but pirates and raiders for a very long time, so Medwedia could easily gain a lot of ground before it has time to react. The Talva favor defence over offence, so they will take some time to strike back (even if they have the advantage). They also prefer honourable combat, so they'll avoid using WMDs unless under extreme pressure.

The Talvo-Medwedia war?
