Warp Gate
The Warp Gate is a moon-only dimensional gateway that lets fleets travel instantly between paired gates — revolutionizing empire mobility in Per Regna.
Mechanics
- Moon-only — plan moon infrastructure before investing
- Requires a paired Warp Gate at the destination; unlinkable gates do nothing
- Each use triggers a cooldown; higher levels reduce cooldown duration
- Warp hop launches start from the gate moon; the parent planet can hop through it too once the planet has an Ascension Gate. Planet launches add readiness that shrinks with Ascension Gate level (5 minutes at level 1 down to 2 minutes)
- One-click missions (scout, recycler, asteroid and gas harvest, expedition, alliance system Harvest / Survey) take the nearest eligible hop automatically with the Imperial Access setting One-Click Auto Warp Hop (Settings → Fleet, on by default); if the hop cannot be used, the fleet flies directly
- A hop is only used when it arrives sooner than flying direct. When the readiness delay (plus any planet launch delay) is longer than the time saved, the fleet flies directly and the send screen does not offer the hop
Special capabilities
Paired instant travel
- Link two gates to open a corridor bypassing normal flight time
- Cooldown between jumps decreases as the gate levels up
- Ideal for redeploying defenders or staging surprise offensives
Strategy
- Build pairs between your main fleet world and border moons
- Combine with Radar Station stealth limits — inbound moon launches stay off enemy planet scans (moon launches)
- Protect gate moons; losing a gate strand isolates fleets
Lore
Warp Gates generate temporary dimensional corridors that bypass conventional hyperspace travel.
These corridors allow fleets to cross vast interstellar distances instantly.
Only the most advanced civilizations possess the technology to construct and maintain these gates.
