"A Call to Insurrection (4) (Manticore Ascendant)" by David Weber,
Timothy Zahn, with Thomas Pope
https://www.amazon.com/Call-Insurrection-Manticore-Ascendant/dp/1982192372/

Book number four of a four book space opera series. The series is a
prequel to the noted Honorverse series of more than twenty books. I
read the well printed and well bound MMPB published by Baen in 2022. If
there are more books published in the series then I plan to purchase them.

The Manticore system is still in disarray from the plague that decimated
the colonists. And now there is a group trying to upset the Manticore
system. Their initial attempt to upset Manticore failed so the group
moved to the nearby Andermani Empire buy trying to carve out a small system.

My rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Amazon rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,053 reviews)

This description of _A Call to Insurrection_ makes me wonder if your
descriptions of books I have not read are as off-base as this one.

Somebody tried to CONQUER Manticore in a previous book. This book is
about a diversionary effort* (which couldn't be cancelled when the
conquest attempt failed) going off (with complications).

*To confuse the Solarian League which was not as corrupt as it would be
in a few centuries.
