I will actually be working on converting all the "ship card ships," for my
own gaming. Of course this means that the new ship cards will be put up on
BTM (IF  Bastion Press has no issue with it)

Agreed. I'll keep notes on conversions as I go and try to hammer out enough
content for a pdf guide.

Working up version neutral "fluff doc," with my additions to Realmspace.

I can't find this ship or this organisation on BtM. Do you have edition

If you see unfamiliar fluff in my postings it is usually because it is based
on something from my own game that has not made it to the SJML or BTM yet.
Many times this is because it is fluff that developed on the fly when my PCs
zigged when I expected them to zag. Extemporaneous fluff generation usually
leaves me with bare bones notes that have a long way to go before being made
public.

I do have new Realmspace stuff but I need to sort it out and remove the
Savage Tide elements as I am blending the two very heavily for this
campaign. Have been buried with work so not able to pull it together to
share with the class yet.
