I think the idea of a limited war over just a single system is a good idea in theory. But I wonder if the current AI could ever pull it off?

For example, let's say that there is one system which the AI really, really wants. Once it has captured the system, and you haven't otherwise angered them, then the AI might be willing to agree to a peace treaty.

But would the AI be smart enough to limit its attacks to just that one system. Also, would it "finish" taking the system away from you in a reasonable amount of time?
