There are possible ways around this, but it's useful to give an idea of the scale of things here. If you want a war in space, what kind of war do you want? If this ship I just described hits an inhabited planet...well, somebody is going to have a Bad Day.
I ultimately went with superscience lightspeed drives for most of that war (from Spaceships 7). It's also one of those things that happened "in the past" as far as the setting itself goes.

I've split the setting into a few other threads:

Racial Packages
Spacecraft
Combat Loadouts
Blastswords
and on the Roleplaying in General forum, a call for Ideas for Locations.

I've got more in MSWord .doc files than I've posted here to the forums.
