No, transatmospheric craft in the JC setting are pretty much limited to
small craft and dedicated heavy lift vehicles. The DarkOliveGreen-based
colour is more of a nod towards the "iconic colours" in DP9's art - CEGA
is mostly green and brown while the Jovians, for example, use a lot of
white and blue.

Aye, scale is easy to lose with so few known reference points, but the
setting does not feature exterior windows on military hardware and the
airlock door on the side of the dorsal bulge does not quite show up at
this size (though that could be helped with a bit of circumference
texturing, I guess). If it helps, the total length of a Bric is 180 metres
without and roughly 200 with the drive guides (the arm-mounted paddles
around the thruster).

Eventually I want to build a spacedock scene or something similar with EVA
pods, small craft and spacesuited figures, but that goal's still a few
corners away.
