Larklight's gravity engine explosion creates a crater 1000 miles (1609.344km) wide and at least as deep as Starcross is. We don't have many references to how big Starcross is that I can recall, but it's well over 100 yards (91.44m) wide.

The Uncrushable flies from Io to Jupiter in a few hours. The distance from Io to Jupiter is 628,300,000km. We'll go with a high end of 3 hours, a low end of 10 hours and a mid end of 6 hours..

T = 628,300,000km/10h
= 29087963/340.29

Jupiter is mostly hydrogen, so they'd likely weigh as much as hydrogen. Radius of the Moon is 1737km.
V = 4/3πr^3
= 4/3 X π X 1737^3
= 2.19527062e10km^3
= 2.19527062e+19m^3
Hydrogen weighs 0.0899^2kg per m^3.
M = 2.19527062e+19 X 0.0899^2
= 1.77421991e17kg

Larklight flies 30,000 miles (48280.32km) in the span of a few seconds. We'll have a low end of 10 seconds, and a high end of 3 seconds.
(Low end)
T = 48280.32km/10s
= 4828032/340.29
= Mach 14187.9926
(High end)
T = 48280.32km/3s
= 16093440/340.29
= Mach 47293.3086
