Continuity

 * The setting of this story is roughly the same as TV: The Ark in Space. While it does not occur on the Ark itself, the humans involved in the story are colonists fleeing the Earth because of the ravages of solar flares. The main guest stars are all aware of the Ark, but consider its chances for success slim at best. This places the story sometime after 6087, the year the solar flares ravaged Earth. The third edition of aHistory dates this story to circa 6700.
