It visited many planets around many stars in many galaxies before it became lost in the Tare-Scharm galaxy, 45 million light years from the Milky Way galaxy, in the year 5056.

So a new ship leaves, arrives before the generational ship and builds houses and all that is needed and leaves a nice welcome sign! This also makes you think ....😉
