 If I remember my Honor Harrington right, wasn't one of their secret 
 weapons the ability to communicate over distances before unthought of 
 almost instantaneously with the use of a gravitic device?  Also they
were 
 able to identify enemy ships that were very, very far away with their 
 gravity signature.
 
 But then again it could have been a dream ;-)
