Well, if you want 'em - you design 'em :-)

Thinking about it, a 'common' scale I see quoted for FT is the 15 min
turn, 1000 km mu one - under which, a Phalon plasma bolt is almost as
big as the Earth! :-) (IIRC, Earth diameter ~12,700 km, Phalon PB
diameter = 12 mu = 12,000 km). Then its a good scale if you want a
planet on the board.
