John Dollan has created some excellent planetary textures for three of the 'Classical Age' planets from the Orion's Arm Scenario;
Daedalus, Arcadia and Atlantis.

Here are some images;

Pages describing the history of Daedalus, Arcadia and Atlantis (illustrated using John's textures) can be found here;

Incidentally the add-on called OAasteroid didn't go through properly; the model isn't present in the .zip file for some reason so don't try to download that one.
I'll send the file through again when I can.

Another contributer, ROM, has produced an entire solar system for Orion's Arm, called Etaran;
