Carrier ID:
VNZ-83L

Departure time/date:
20:00 / 13.03.2026

Departing from:
Cartu

Details:
We'll be heading approximately 9000LY from Sol, out near the Eta Carina nebula.

There will be 8 planned stops at known POIs along the way. Some will be longer than others.

First leg of the journey is expected to take about 90 to 120 minutes. We'll be staying at the first POI until 1500 on Sunday 15th.

Next up we'll be passing through the Eye of the Prophet, followed by a flyover of the Frontier Crater, and visiting a blue planetary nebula before stopping at our 5th destination...

You may already know the Statue of Liberty nebula. We'll be stopping in the area until 1500 on Tuesday 17th (maybe Wednesday 18th).

The next two POIs? I'm not entirely sure how long we'll be stopping yet. I've not been to them before, so I don't know how interesting they may or may not be.

And the final one... I've still not entirely decided. It's going to be one of the Guardian systems around Eta Carina, I just need to make my mind up. Plan is to stay in the area for a little while (possibly up to a week), before returning to the bubble.

Vista Genomics and Universal Cartographics will be available for explorers, in addition to the usual fuel/re-arm/repair services, as well as outfitting and shipyard. Outfitting menu will have fuel scoops and mining gear available.

If anyone gets left behind or stuck, delays/rescue can be arranged. I do recommend bookmarking the carrier though, and always carry a fuel scoop!

Run ahead, stay on board, chase the carrier...? Mining, exploring, exobiology? That's all entirely up to you. I'm just driving the bus. Any questions?
