   Centrifugal force.  Take a corner sometime at a high rate of speed, and   
   notice how you tend to be pulled towards the outside of the corner.   
   Note too that medical and science labs use centrifuges to separate   
   liquids.  Note also-too that NASA and the Air Force use centrifuges to   
   train pilots/astronauts.

   The Starfuries are obeying Newtonian physics.  Since they are not in an   
   atmosphere nor currently being effected by a gravitational source, when   
   not under thrust they can pivot on any axis the pilot chooses.
