The part about FTL drives that can be used as instant dodging mechanisms notwithstanding...
The Alarai don't even have FTL - the Alarai use massive warp gates to bring in Fleets, and these Gates have to be pre-constructed. They only have one mobile gate, the Zhang He, and that's with the Pearl Fleet.
These Warp Gates are basically used for instant defensive mobilization - no matter the distance, If there is a serious and pressing threat then at one distress signal the Alarai can moblize their Flag Fleets and join the battle extremely quickly.
