Well I have a little bit of canon information, from the post-Twilight War history published in the Traveller 2300 Players Handbook:
Quote:
The Saudi War (2010 to 2013): France, Great Britain, Bavaria, Japan and Egypt occupied the Saudi oil fields in 2008 (to assure oil production for Europe) replacing United States forces which had been in the region since the start of World War III. Iran objected to the occupation, and the Saudi War (2010 to 2013) began with an Iranian attack on the occupation forces, and ended with the establishment of a buffer zone along the northern edge of the Saudi peninsula.
The French role in the Saudi War was an expression of its new status in the world. France was the only global power; interested in commerce and stability, it injected its presence anywhere in the world that its interests were present. France was creating the French Peace.
