Yep, they are local factions, all sharing the same name, and not one big faction. Try earning rep with one of them, and you'll note that you're not earning rep with another Emperor's Grace several systems away. Like Vasious mentioned, the different groups even support different contenders.Are all the Minor Factions called Emperor's Grace one minor faction or are there many chapters, that come power play, get the System of origin added to their name?
"There is a slight wrinkle in that we are renaming some minor factions to ensure they have unique names. For the most part this is just adding the system name to make it unambiguous."

It is my guess that Powerplay will start with a few major factions and then grow from that. I don't think Emperor's Grace has a chance of being a major faction on 1.3 release but considering their already massive size I wouldn't doubt if Emperor's Grace becomes a major faction at some point in the near future.

So what is your stance on slavery?
Need you ask? We are hardcore imperials!
Recently david Braben described the Imperial Slavery as very similar to military service nowadays. You sign the contract, serve and listen to orders for a specific time and then you are released with benefits. Seems honourable to me.
As for the federal slavery: its disguisting!
