Oh, so now you want to add an engine we don't have to all the other
nonexistent or imaginary things you've larded into your 'plan'.

Ion engines have already been used for deep space probes, at most it
might need to be scaled up, but could be used for other uses

Indeed, much bigger and thus way more powerful ion thrusters shouldn't
be entirely problematic, perhaps running on spitting out Radon ions
derived from an onboard cache of Radium. Their nuclear power source
could also be of a radium and plutonium mix fuel that could yield
addition Radon.
