To stop an active expansion
- Thread starter Erbaran
- Start date
It should continue if it has already been activated and will follow its course as if it didn't all the other factions in the system would be messed up. Sorry

start a war for the same faction timed to go live on the same tick - that will cancel it more often than not. War has a 3 days pending and expansion 5
yes, once it has gone beyond pending it cannot be stopped. But once they are in the new system you can force a retreat (after the cool down time)
It can fail if all systems within range have 7 factions already - but that's not something you can just set up at the last minute.
I think the only way an active expansion could end without actually expanding or investing would be if Frontier decided to hold a War CG this week, and have that faction as one of the participants.
Or, hope for a patch day 
Expansions have vanished multiple times on release of (major) patches. Also not something easily set up...
But yeah, in normal operation, the only way is to engineer a conflict during the pending so it starts the day the expansion should go active.
