Regarding the "military original" referenced in the brochure/lore, we wouldn't ever see the originals, as they are VERY old, predating the Tevarin wars and the Xi'an cold war. The lore does allude to a modern military version, which the in-game model is based on, but this is much the same as the Hornet, the Idris, or any other ship available to players also used by the UEE military. The implication is that the civilian model available to players is a slightly nerfed version of its theoretical military counterpart ('cause, you know, laws).
