One more image, for a more solid idea of the Arco Asteria's relative scale, and the Executor (at the modern 19km canonical size) in a similar but slightly larger-scale shot:
I suppose I'll have to adjust the upper bound crew capacity and bioroid maid population again - "nominal crew 2.5 million and able to carry the population of NYC in emergency conditions" doesn't sound nearly as impressive when Manhattan Island alone hosts about 8.9 million during a normal workday, and would effectively occupy only a single slice as tall as the trim fins around the sides of the ship after averaging building heights into empty spaces. Even allowing for a higher proportion of greenways than the New York park system and the shuttle bays, that's still a LOT of usable volume. If the work was done end-to-end instead of frame-outward, her Shipyard bay could build two or possibly three Executor-class SSDs simultaneously, with materials being brought in to be processed in the Industrial bay and transferred via the internal connections.
