Re: Natives
Also consider the option of a native race that *could* develop space faring technology, but is not motivated to do so. Such races could have advanced weaponry, large weapons platforms, satellites, fighters, etc., and just not make space ships.
A race on a single planet, call it large and well developed, with a massive planetary shield generator, a well developed industrial base, lots of high-tech fighters, and a pile of weapons platforms, could be a tough nut to crack.
Just a thought...
