Date: March 16, 645 a.t. The Starlark leaving the Solar Sytem


An image of the interstellar arkship Starlark during its six month acceleration out of the Solar System can be seen here.
Protective shields of reinforced ice are in place during the acceleration phase to protect against solar system dust; also visible are the massive auxilary fuel/propellant tanks, later discarded to save mass
