Welcome ! I’m glad you’ve been enjoying yourself so far!
For warfare, especially of the swarm based , planet-consuming, Star detonating variety which you could possibly find in the OA setting , Adam Getchell’s Stories have a few examples of battles viewed from a distance and a few scenes up close with a team of modosophont “special operatives” (Sarge, Heavy the octopus, etc)

In addition to the stories by author page,
You can find a spreadsheet of all stories in the setting linked to that page which includes summaries and some ratings (which you are welcome to add to)

Also “more things in heaven” by Todd Drashner has a space battle against a (very weakened) transapient
For transapient protagonists , the trouble is that their minds are by their very nature , incomprehensible, so first person perspective would be tricky to pull off convincingly and they’re so powerful .it’s hard to tell stories involving them.. but . there are several ways around this for telling a story.
Dirty hands by Theodore Bonn is apparently a great introduction to the setting (and it’s well written) but has transapients as side characters. Under the looking glass by Darren Ryding

also has a few transapient side characters.
