Well, how about a race that evolved on a planet whose atmoshpere was
particularly good at screening out radio waves?  When they leave their
planet, they need shielded ships or be subject to the detrimental
effects of
the background radio-wave bombardment..  In a universe as big as ours,
this
may not be too far fetched.
