Ah, ok, now I understand. I suppose that would work then, since the GSC has something of a reputation for not being able to mobilize as quickly as other major powers in the galaxy. That would allow the VIS time to land their ground forces before they have to deal with the full brunt of the Iron Pazu'Mir Navy, which has a reputation as being one of the best defensive military forces in the galaxy once fully mobilized.

There might have to be more compelling reasons why the GSC Marko states would decide to leave the GSC after the invasion is repelled, though since I have written jack-squat about the nature of the GSC Marko states and what their relationship is with the central GSC government, it's definitely a mostly blank slate on which we could create a scenario that works out. Since the GSC expansion into the Marko Sector is relatively recent, the connections there are certainly less strong. (For future convenience, I should mention that the GSC territory in Marko is officially called the Noregada Sovereignty)

Though I'm not sure if France would provide significant support seeing as the GSC is a TIAF ally which could potentially damage French-TIAF relations. Also, putting a limit on how much France participates in the war could make it more interesting since I imagine heavy French support would tilt the balance overwhelmingly in the Eldarisians' favor. You'd have to ask Charles for his take, ultimately.
