Hmm. Are we sure that they're actual starships? They may not individually possess interstellar capability - they may rely on the mothership for that.
I might be wrong, but I presume that Ein is referring to "ships that can travel through space" rather than "ships that can effectively travel between stars" in the OP, even if the term "starship" might literally only refer to the latter.

You'd be correct. Any ship primarily meant to travel through space for any distance.

I suppose that makes more sense. Now I have to check if Masa Inguss's shitty Gorg Boldolza knockoff ship from Macross 2 was in the atmosphere. I know that ship is also pretty big (not Gorg Boldolza size) and its escorts were clearly in the atmosphere.

How large were the Vogon ships in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy? They seemed to be in the area of hundreds of kilometers.

Does Unicron count?

Though technically the planetary atmosphere enters it

Possibly... but due to Transformers Scaling Problems we can only say he's between 10 and 10,000km tall.
