You might want to check out GURPS Biotech for 4e. One of the sample game
backgrounds details a kind of Generation fleet that journeys to Draconis or
some star like that. They used hollowed out asteroids hollowed out and fitted
with fusion engines for the ships, and a comet mounted with fusion engines for
spare volatiles. Since you want to make a ship, make the ship, and just have
a spare asteroid and/or comet mounted with engines as a mini fleet.

Yeah that's what the Draconis fleet did... brought along gear and a few
minifacs and just used In-Situ Resource Utilization.
