So they can't kill the race.
That would be quite effective. You could probably make system grav shield an ability of the home system, and if you take a hint from MM's recent typo, you can make a system type that is Ztorm or something, so storm clearers won't even clear the storm. Will the grav shield ability block the possible attempt to turn the home system's star into a ringworld? If not, you could just specify that the "winning" ringworld can't be in the safe home system. You could also put some good colonizable planets in the same home systems, to allow a good safe and productive base area for each player.
