>nice if you want to become the fastest skeleton in the universe, eventually.
You could probably do it in a few months with OKEANOS style power sails. A quick and dirty example since I'm too lazy and retarded for anything else, using the largest nested hall thruster posted above

Thrust: 126 N(taking the average since I don't know the mN/kW at the assumed Isp)
Isp: 4,600 seconds
Power: 2.4 MW
Thruster mass: 320 kg
Solar panel mass: 2,400 kg(1000 W/kg at 1 AU)
Xenon propellant mass: 10,932 kg
Tanks, PPU, structure mass, etc: Let's say 5,000 kg

Payload: 11,348 kg
Delta-V: 20 km/s
Acceleration 0.0072 m/s squared

So if I'm not mistaken, the burn would last only 55 days.

I know, Reddit answer but this guy has a PhD and works directly with them so he is much more qualified than me to explain it.
