Hm. There are references to creating warp points (a 'Stellar Manipulation' menu appeared in a preview's screen shot).

Anybody know if you'll be able to create one without controlling both sides? Something like that might reduce the chances for stalemates via heavily fortifying choke points -- in a mid-life, sometimes cutting 2-4 edges can suffice to defend a third or more of the map...
