If you're trying to set up battles rather than finish a campaign, you
could
use the "allied" fleet to help even things out.  For example, the PAU
fleet
suffers a crushing defeat at the hands of the IF.  The UN steps in and
defends the PAU planets--or the NSL sends a task force to reinforce the
PAU
until they're back to parity with the IF forces in sector.

Depends on how flaky you want them to be.  Make a list of
possibilities--"comes to the battle late; doesn't close with the enemy;
breaks off when his ships have suffered an average of one threshold
each"--and roll dice for which one applies.

The point, I thought, of your "Single System" idea is to simplify the
campaign.  Who wants to administrate when you can play instead?
