Analyzes that Raxxla would logically be permit-locked, with the Pilot's Federation controlling permit locks through hyperdrive navigation software as in-universe mechanism.

Confirms HD 93359 is located in Carina constellation at approximately correct distance from Sol. Reports that the object appears to be placed at right location but lacks proper definition.

An 'invisible' HD 93359 system discovered in the Carina constellation at correct approximate distance from Sol. The system appears to have coordinates defined but lacks proper object definition, suggesting it may be incomplete or intentionally hidden.

Confirmation that HD 93359 search shows location marker in galmap but no information displays and cannot auto-plot. Tried multiple galmap filter settings.

Reports galmap search for 'HD 93359' in SYNUEFE sector returns location marker but no star information displays. Cannot auto-plot. Potential obfuscated system anomaly.

Analyzes historical expansion distances: Type 0 slowboat limitations suggest early human bubble ~50-200ly radius around Sol. If Type 1 was actual starting ship, raises questions about limited human presence further out.

Reiterates Bovomit as likely Raxxla location - permit-locked region on galactic rim beyond the Rift, difficult pre-Class2b access, connected to Rift-hunter lore.

Explores whether locations accessible now could have been reached with Type 1 ships (14,000 ly/week capability) during early space exploration era.

Analyzes The Dark Wheel short story in context of pre-3125 Faraway jump system, suggesting if Ryder found evidence of Raxxla it must be within reachable bubble distance from that era.

Suggests Bovomit (permit-locked region on rim of galaxy past the Rift) as candidate for Raxxla due to difficulty accessing it pre-Class2b FSD, steeped in Rift-hunter lore, and accessibility dating would place discovery after 3125 if true.

Raxxla could be a hidden system visible only in Nav tab, or an invisible celestial body undetected by ADS requiring close approach (within 1000Ls) to become visible.

Vela Dark Region and Puppis Dark Region, both approximately 1kLY from Sol, contain numerous untagged systems suitable for concealing Raxxla.

In Frontier: First Edition, 'outer rim' may have referred to the edge of human space; this terminology carries implications for interpreting Dark Wheel mission references to 'Outer Rim'.

The phrase 'Outer Rim' in mission texts may refer to where Raxxla is located or where the information was sourced. Could indicate a region of space distinct from the core bubble.

Raxxla may be a black hole, fitting the description 'a place that isn't a place' (an absence/hole). Black holes could serve as doorways (wormholes) providing access to Raxxla. References the phrase from mission texts and lore analysis.

Theory linking MB's emphasis on 'personal journey' with progression through The Dark Wheel, permits, and ranks. Suggests Shinrarta is first step, DW reputation is second step, with additional progression required.

Notes that The Dark Wheel states people already live on Raxxla, making a black hole location unlikely unless inhabitants are positioned near the event horizon.

Paraphrased lore from old SAP 8 core or 'Trinkets of hidden fortune' mission texts: 'The place that isn't a place, the door that is also the key.' Identified as potential Raxxla clue.

Theory that Raxxla is intentionally placed/configured so that you must know both where it is and how to get there before finding it - won't be discovered by accident.

Analysis of permit-locked systems, suggesting if Raxxla is behind a regional permit lock, the permit must be obtainable by some means. Proposes examining differences in 'Unable to hyperspace' text and capitalised sector names as clues.

Explorer reports heading back to Reorte/Leesti area to begin expedition toward NGC 3603 sector after checking multiple locations.

Dark Wheel missions were prerequisites requiring Elite rank in Exploration or other careers, suggesting a structured progression system that may have pointed toward hidden content.

Author analyzes the removal of mysterious Elite/Founders Dark Wheel missions that had descriptions implying they led somewhere. Theories include missions were bugged, led nowhere, or were removed when missions system was reworked to eliminate Founder prerequisites.

Discussion of Player Factions' status in Shinrarta Dezhra and whether Jameson Memorial station control is locked similar to Sol permit requirements.

Analysis that Galnet poems served as solutions for Zurara megaship location in Formidine Rift, suggesting FD used similar cryptic clues for major discoveries.

References Galnet article from 17-APR-3303 as potentially containing location hints, similar to how poems were used for Zurara discovery.

Commander investigated Sedna system based on correlation with a Galnet article (17-APR-3303 poem). Found unusual USS not seen before and security forces nearby, but no Raxxla-related evidence.

Analysis of how sector names may be autocorrected in-game (BLOO DRYE autocorrected to BLOOD HAZE), suggesting search location data may need verification against actual sector nomenclature.

Analyst notes that Blood Haze Nebula cannot be found in the GalMap, suggesting either spelling correction issues or that the nebula name may be misremembered or sector-specific.

CMDR Flirble Rasok sent on a circumnavigation expedition of the outer rim to search for Raxxla, expected to return in 354 days. This represents an organized search effort targeting the galactic periphery.

Cross-reference coordinates from Elite game data mapping systems like Lave, Reorte, and Riedquat to Elite Dangerous. Estimated Xezoar at coordinates 101.51, 48.75, 81.81 with Crucis Sector DL-Y d163 as nearest system.

Attempt to locate the lore system 'Cirag' (mentioned in Elite lore) by interpolating coordinates from Elite game data using known reference systems like Lave, Reorte, and Riedquat. Calculated Xezoar coordinates as 101.51, 48.75, 81.81 with Crucis Sector DL-Y d163 as nearest known system.

Investigation into whether 'Rogue Planet' exotic star types exist in-game. WISE 0855-0714 was found to be a Class Y dwarf star with three planets, not an actual rogue planet. Suggests checking Simbad database for other rogue planet designations.

Ciraq is intertwined with Alex Ryder story and could function as a 'key or door' to Raxxla. Clarifies that 'Ciraq is Ciraq' quote comes from Elyssia Fields, not Rafe Zetter.

Points out that Ciraq, like Raxxla, is a world from The Dark Wheel novella that never made it into original Elite or Elite: Dangerous. Notes developer speculation that Ciraq could be Raxxla, dismissed by Rafe Zetter. Proposes searching for Ciraq instead of Raxxla.

Interprets 'a place that isn't a place' as minor planets/asteroids (unnamed locations), and 'a door that is also a key' as Chiron (2060 Chiron), a real minor planet with a key-shaped astronomical symbol that orbits between Saturn and Uranus in Sol system. Not yet discovered in-game.

Builds on keystone theory by noting Hercules keystone asterism points to M13 Hercules cluster containing 300K+ stars. Suggests this region warrants investigation for Raxxla's location.

Proposes that the clue 'a door that is also a key' refers to the Hercules keystone asterism. Suggests checking rogue planets near Hercules, possibly those documented in real-world astronomy databases like Simbad.

Claims INRA base discovery was worked out from old lore, specifically referencing Alioth and Hotice connections from First Frontier Elite. Suggests the discovered base is 125 years older than the FFE Hotice base.

Analyzes how INRA bases were located, noting discrepancies between skybox comparisons and actual locations. Questions whether legitimate lore research or file access was used, suggesting alternative methods beyond stated stellar cartography.

Suggests using stellar cartography methods (as employed to find Guardian ruins) to locate INRA bases from trailer skyboxes. Demonstrates a systematic approach to reverse-engineering locations from visual evidence.

Analysis that Raxxla access may require Horizons expansion, as planet-based stations would exclude non-Horizons players from potential Raxxla content.

Analysis suggesting John Harper originally intended to write about Raxxla but Frontier restricted this, so he changed the story to feature Soontill, CIEP instead of Dark Wheel, while keeping most narrative intact.

Evidence that all Founder or Elite missions were removed when rank requirements were dropped from the mission system. Speculation that this removal may be inhibiting discovery of Raxxla-related content.

Analysis that no canonical sources explicitly connect Thargoids to Raxxla, though neither confirmation nor denial exists in available lore.

Speculation that 'Founder or Elite' rank-requirement missions were removed during mission system overhaul. Questions whether their absence prevents finding Raxxla and if they will return.

Notes disappearance of Raxxla-related missions from Shinrarta Dezhra (e.g., 'Obfuscated in the Outer Rim'). Questions if missions are still available elsewhere and why Formidine Rift thread was locked without explanation.

Reports system map slowness, reduced information from DSS scans, missing materials lists on landable body scans. Wonders if other explorers experiencing similar issues that could mask Raxxla discovery.

Critical analysis of French forum's alleged Raxxla find. Notes anomalies: planets don't show as '?' after honk (show 'unexplored'), distance claims inconsistent (15k LY vs 44k LY for known reference points), unlandable rocky world unlikely match for Raxxla.

Tracking Elena Markow (Dark Wheel pilot) leaving Shinrarta Dezhra through multiple systems. Notable stop at Crucis Sector DB-X b1-6 B 4 (ice body, 317k LY travel). Commander investigated but found nothing of significance.
