Belligerent species would be too busy killing each other and inventing more ingenious ways to kill each other more efficiently (*cough* humans) to develop proper space travel. Au contraire.

Anyway, ep3 shows Republic Destroyers in atmosphere, and those become Imperial before the end of the show. The Force Unleashed media gallery also shows in-atmosphere destroyers: http://www.lightsabre.co.uk/concept_art/destroyer_final3_sm.jpg But uhm, yeah, ok, I get it. ZING! Ya got me. :p That's ok. In SWG you can walk around in a spaceship as it is moving around in 3d piloted by another player while other players man the turrets... that's so technically marvelous that I can't take any criticism of the technical limitations too harshly. And shots at bad game design would just be too easy, right? You wouldn't hit a guy wearing glasses, would ya? Er… well… they could there too, but terrain generation at those speeds made the programmers cry.
