So basically it is a multilateral arms
control/inspection regime in which all the major
powers participate to keep their interstellar wars
"limited"? Yes, that could work, although after a
protracted conflict with heavy losses and no outcome
in sight the temptation to break out of the regime in
hopes of gaining some sort of advantage might be too
great. Limited wars stay limited only if they are
resolved quickly and losses are light. Otherwise they
tend to expand into every available sphere of
conflict.
