Maybe its just me, but I think its just a spaceport, with the ship being the ship that transports you to and from Kashyyyk.

My first thoughts were that this was the Kashyyyk spaceport and that is the ship you ride in on. Especially since it's the same type of ship in both pictures.

I thought that, but I don't see any ticket attendant or ticket terminals in the pics.

My guess on the big brown ship is that it's a Trandoshan slave ship. It will probably act like the Imperial shuttle. As for the fins on the Jedi fighter, it looks like it opens and closes much like the X-wing or B-wing.

oooh, i wonder if this means we'll get missions to rescue slaves from the slave ships. It'll be like playing defender, except a bit slower, and you (probably) won't be able to drop wookies from several hundred miles up.

The ship is the npc slave ship, it will come and go just like the shuttles into the starports. You can see the slavers base below and the next pic has all the BH around on the ground.It is not the jedi ship, they already said the jedi ship will be the one that Obi'wan flew in episode II and there are screenies of it out.
I think this is probably the most logical conclusion. Shadows give it away.

Why not? All that hair'll cushion the fall.

I think it's probably just an NPC ship landing, like when you see Lambda shuttles and such land now.
The camera angle could either be one of the Dev's Wookiees, and they have the camera rotated up and zoomed out. Or it could just be another angle they set for the screen shot.

It would be incredibly cool to have atmospheric flight, but I don't think it's gonna happen any time soon. 
Of course, one possibility is that they're adding the ability to land on a planet.

I wish they just add it to the game lol instead of just making more and more exp for us to spend money on. Heck jump to lightspeed was alright even tho i never see that much players up there. But heck another planet for us to rage war on and cause problems at doesnt bother me that much....i always wanted to see the wookie homeworld...

I highly doubt they are adding atmospheric flight yet. Maybe down the road but not right now. As for that ship in the screenshot after seeing its size from both angles im now confident that is probablythe new 20 person ship. Cant wait to see its interior.
