Some of my ideas and questions

[Suicide Junkie]

For infantry, I'd suggest making a 3KT size troop.

For a bridge/cockpit, you have a generic "person" component. Then you add a 1KT body armor & a 1KT hand weapon. If you want to add racial traits, you can make four-handed weapons that do extra damage, or act as armor (parry). A lightsaber, for example is regularily used to block energy beams

Now, imagine instead of a single 3KT guy, you have a whole pack of infantry, say 10,000. that would mean ~300 KG per person of equipment & supplies.
So, when you add 1KT of "Kevlar II" to your troop, you are distributing 10,000 vests.

With a decent vehicle pic (Landing craft? Rows of marching uniforms? APCs in formation?) you can make it look good.

As an option, you can reduce the size to 2KT, and make the infantry weapons or armors be the "cockpit" as well.
