I had a couple moments of thinking "big scale stuff is just hard to imagine" recently listening to fatt.
In the most recent ep when Austin and Keith are talking about stars in the galaxy the word trillions gets tossed out, which is way too high - there are 300 billion stars in the galaxy. Still an absurd number, and easily able to accommodate 4100 stellar combustors. 4100 stellar combustors would threaten approx. 100,000 stars, which is 0.0000003%. And you know if you look at it like that actually the divine principality is hardly threatening anyone, why are you all so upset???
The other one is I went back to check the description of the station perennial is on. It's built like a shelf around the supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy, and Austin describes it as being as big as a continent. A reasonable Big size, at human scale, except that SgrA* is 1900 times the size of the earth (approximately). Which means that if that shelf is even 1% of the diameter of the thing it surrounds, it's as tall as 19 earths. It would also be 72 million kilometers long, and so to walk from one end to the other would be like walking around the earth 6000 times. (you could do rough calculations like this for the stellar combustor itself, and all I'm gonna say is those trains must have been going fast)
None of this is intended as a drag on the fatt team. These numbers don't really matter for storytelling, they're just goofy little calculations that give me pleasure because they remind me how big the universe we live in really is
