A specific Cobra ship assassinates Jason Ryder by detonating during re-entry to realspace in The Dark Wheel novella. This act is a pivotal moment suggesting Cobra ships have critical narrative weight in Raxxla lore.
WHAT is it with the Cobra, I understand its the classic ship, but in much of the lore, the Cobra is front and centre. Even in The Dark Wheel Novella it states ''But there are ghosts there. The ghosts of the early ships that went in to Faraway, and didn't come out again. Ghosts . . . And shadows. The shadow of a snake. A Cobra . . . Rising over them . . . '' Click to expand... It's a specific Cobra. The one that blows up their ship when they re-enter realspace, assassinating Jason Ryder.
The Dark Wheel Novella prominently features the Cobra ship motif: 'ghosts of early ships...The shadow of a snake. A Cobra.' This recurring emphasis on Cobras across multiple lore sources may indicate significance to Raxxla's nature.
This tourist beacon in Shinrarta Dhezra gives the most info regarding The Founders World that I've found: Spoiler http://i.Please use another image host/d1ioCdO.jpg It doesn't provide a reason why the planet was named "The Founders World" nor who exactly the "Founders" are (again, I know who the Founders are out-of-game.

A Tourist Beacon at Tionisla references a Galnet event involving an antique Cobra MK3 in the Tionisla graveyard. The decoded message reads: 'The Vain Queen rides a Giraffe that remembers her daughter's hero' - potentially containing literary or mythological clues to Raxxla's location.
Thought I'd bring this back up, after looking at a few things. Wonder if this has more meaning now, especially with the recent re-surface to find Raxxla thanks to the Codex. Not sure whether it has any real meaning. But after a trip to Tionisla I came across a Tourist Beacon called "Curious Transmission Partially Decoded. It references a Galnet event I remember a year, or so ago with an antique Cobra MK3 around the Tionisla grave yard. Well most of this was just useless lore stuff the message is apparently transmitted after it had been destroyed was : " The Vain Queen rides a Giraffe that remembers her daughter's hero " I may not be up to speed, but it just seems rather curious and wondering does this have any reference to anything? and does anyone here think it might be in anyway related...
