Wow. This is actually the plot for one of the side quests in Starfield. Neat idea; i'd like to see it done in a better game.

It's actually a pretty common sci fi scenario, I remember reading about it in a pop science book in school

It was in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, or in the series at least. His scenario was two warring planets sending out armadas to fight each other, but while they were on their way faster ships were created and sent so when they got there the battle was already over.
