Monria Field Trips are sponsored by the Community Initiatives Program (CIP), and an integral part of our new player Monrian Born Program. Members of the Monria Community Assistance Team (MCAT) accompany us on field trips to help guide our Monrian Born through the activities where required. Additionally, many who are not Monrian Born or MCAT team members also join us for fun and to help. We thank them very much.
If you are on Monria, then you can fly with us during our travel schedule on Friday, or we can pick you up along the way on any of the planets because after we finish the travel schedule and get back to Monria, we will be taking the Yamato directly to Next Island and parking it there for the weekend.
MCAT members will be debarking the Yamato at Next Island during our travel schedule with the field trippers to help get things organized, and will get them and others added to the Monria Field Trip channel if they are not already a member of the channel. It's where all communication will take place during the field trip.
Check the times that we arrive at each planet so you are ready. Here is a link to the travel schedule details.
If you are already on Next Island, then meet us a little after 23:00 game time at Paradise Landing to coordinate the agenda. DME will join you at the end of the travel schedule.
Details are listed below.

- Important ... make sure you have your own transportation down to the planet from low orbit
- --- it might be possible to ride with someone else, but we cannot guarantee it
Any activities with the Monria community members is fun and crazy because we are a spontaneous and random lot where anything is possible, and it's always good to "Expect the Unexpected."
This Next Island vehicle is acquired through a mission which we will do early or first thing so you have transportation to navigate around Next Island.
This is also a 2-seater vehicle and is quite cool ... I hear it's easier to handle than the Cyrene Spear.
I have also added a little video of Lami taking me for a ride on it when we were at our Arkadia field trip.
For those who have not been to Next Island yet, join us and have a fun weekend exploring.
