darkwheeldarkwheelAnalysis of Ciraq as a Dark Wheel novella location similar to Raxxla that never appeared in original Elite. Examines whether Ciraq could function as the legendary 'key or door' location or represent Raxxla itself.

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.
Ciraq is also a place that isn't a place. There's a lot of the Old Worlds from the 1984 Elite that didn't make it into Elite: Dangerous but, as far as I know, only two worlds from The Dark Wheel didn't even make it into the original game. Raxxla and Ciraq. Alex Ryder even openly speculated that Ciraq could be Raxxla, though this speculation was quickly slapped down by Rafe Zetter. Maybe, just maybe, we shouldn't even be looking for Raxxla at this point. Maybe we should be looking for Ciraq.
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.
No way. Cirag is Cirag. Click to expand... Exactly! But Cirag managed to stay "off the grid" and hidden. It is intertwined in the Alex Ryder story ... and thus with Raxxla (though only peripherally). Could be a key or maybe even a door Incidentally I just reread the pertinent portion of The Dark Wheel and realized I've been making a goof. I keep attributing the "Cirag is Cirag" line to Race Zetter. It was Elyssia Fields who said it.
Suggests locating Ciraq by tracking down its local faction, which should be an Independent Theocracy based on lore references.
Can we narrow down an area of space for where Cirag should be? Click to expand... Nice work. Another angle: Maybe it will help us find Ciraq if we track down it's local faction. We should be looking for an Independent Theocracy.
