Sounds like I’d need to pick up some extra velocity, so would have to aim for a Jupiterian parabolic slingshot to a Martian parabolic slingshot to a solar hyperbolic slingshot to Centauri.

Makes aiming at Cartagia much more difficult; I’ll need more range time.

on Uranus, Uranus’ gravity: 21.2 km/s
at Uranus, the Sun’s gravity: 9.6 km/s
