    I would say this is a net issue there is a 208 thread at this link , in which case may need to wait 24 hours and check again this will come good on its own just when is unknown

This is happening to me as well. It just started happening today -- things were running fine yesterday. Here are a few of the things I have tried, all with the same results (some of these are recommended by Customer Support on archived threads on the old Customer Service forum at SWTOR.com):

1) I have reset my cable modem, my router and done a clean reboot of my computer.

2) I have flushed my DNS cache.

3) I have turned off all of my firewalls.

4) I have bypassed my router and hardwired my computer to my cable modem.

5) I have downloaded and ran the Launcher Repair Utility.

6) I have manually opened the ports that SWTOR uses on my router.

7) I have re-installed the Launcher over the existing version.

8) I have uninstalled and reinstalled the entire game.

9) I have examined my account on SWTOR.com to make sure everything was in order there. It is.

Nothing is working.
