Good idea. Or we could go with our old plan: Medwedia discovers gold/platinum/uranium/unobtanium on Olchus, captures the planet in a quick blitzkrieg action that involves the destruction of its moon using a fusion bomb, resulting in the planet becoming uninhabitable and Medwedia starting to brutally strip-mine it. The Talven Empire is angered by this atrocity - partially because of its brutality, partially because it was itself interested in the planet, blockading the planet after the Medwedian conquest fleet departs and only leaves the mining vessels and small escorts behind. The miners, unable to return home, call for help, and a Medwedian fleet is dispatched again, breaking the blockade and beginning the war.

Good idea?

Do you think the Zagresi Empire/Cooperative and the Stellar Union would play a role in the war? Would the then-existing Seven Starr Alliance intervene?
