Heaven's Grace is a splinter group of defectors from a much larger group, the Heretic.
400 Years ago.
Under orders to "cleanse" a planet not technologically advanced enough for space travel and convert it into a military mining planet on the outskirts, the commanding officer of the division undergoing the mission had a change of heart. He always felt that there was always a better way, but continued to complete his missions as instructed. This time, things were different. At his current rank he had many ships under his command for this mission, which included a colony ship and a freighter which could deploy into a mobile shipyard. Everything he needed to establish a military outpost. Before the mission began, he ordered his crew to relocate their families onto the colony ship. He made the decision to abandon his charge and take up a position to defend those too weak to protect themselves. He had placed his crew's happiness above his own by having them bring their loved ones instead of a payload of explosives on the other ships in his fleet, they followed him. Instead of destroying millions of precious lives, they colonized and terraformed the moon of that planet to serve as a vanguard. Heaven's Grace was born.
On that moon, sensors were given top priority to watch and listen for any Heretic retaliation for their defection.
150 Years ago.
They no longer hear anything from the Heretic. Probes reveal no signs of life from their once cherished homeworld. It lies entirely in ruin. UNtil that moment, the people had always wondered what had been taking their former comrades so long to track them down.

Their size, while still small in comparison to other races, has grown to 12 planets and over 4000 ships. A large growth from the original 250 ships in the original party. They enjoy welcomed trade with their interstellar neighbors. Anyone is allowed with their space so long as peace is not disturbed within it. While they do not usually participate in the affairs of other factions, if the cause is just, they will prove a fierce ally in battle.
When it comes to relations between races and other factions, Heaven's Grace is Neutral Good

Their mining operations yield many useful metals for the construction of spacefaring vehicles. Their most common resource, Titanium and Aluminum, prove to be the most common metal with which they construct their ships. The lightweight alloys produce ships of much lower overall mass than other factions, but at the cost of combat durability. The ships are equipped with advanced artificial intelligence specifically designed to operate ship subsystems, thus ships require less manpower to operate individually.
Spoiler!
Extensive training to become a fighter pilot is required before entering combat. While the old Heretic faction allowed humans of 16 years of age to train for two years before taking flight, Heaven's Grace pilots must be trained for every encounter imaginable, a training program taking 5 years. Starting at the age of 18 to ensure that pilots are mature enough to protect the lives of others is strictly enforced. Due to the advanced training, Heaven's Grace pilots are usually much more skilled than other pilots of equal rank.

Maximum safe distance between two gates: 2 Light Years
Recharge time: 5 Minutes
Maximum safe ship size allowed: 65 and under. Gateway can support up to a size of 90 (not recommended with this model).
Maximum ships per opened gate: 3 (within the size limit, 1 if larger)
Rules for War of the Universe.
Option 1:If you want to call in reinforcements with the jump gate, you can draw from your reinforcements pool that would be available on your next turn (up to an amount that can pass through the gate). It will be decreased when that turn comes up, but you can use it to call in the from the turn ahead again.
Option 2: If you hold some of your reinforcements back, then next turn where they would roll over (if permitted), they are doubled (up to an amount that can pass through the gate).
Both of these options can be used, but only one at a time per turn. Discuss using a jump gate with the other player first.
