darkwheeldarkwheelProposes comparing systems that appear in both original Elite and Elite: Dangerous to identify discrepancies in distribution or properties that might reveal hidden locations. Systems like Lave and Tianve could be analyzed alongside real-world astronomical references for pattern clues.

Proposes identifying which original Elite systems appear in ED with different distributions (e.g., Lave, Tianve) and analyzing them for clues. Suggests examining real-world astronomical equivalents.
Nice theorising and postulation! An idea occurred to me. Is Raxxla a planet name that can be generated using the galaxy generation code of the original Elite game, given the correct seed. I would like to think that when David and Ian were deciding which galaxies to use they sent some lists of planet names from various test galaxies to Rob to help him with the book and he chose a name that sounded good - there are also other planet names which are in the book but not game, so this could explain those as well. Then David and Ian decided not to include that seed in the galaxy generator, and this is why Raxxla cannot be found in the original game. In other words, if we hack original Elite and brute-force the galaxy generation can we discover the "key" to Raxxla? The galaxy generation code is...
Systems appearing in both original Elite and ED (like Lave, Tianve) are distributed differently between games. Analyzing which original systems appear in ED and examining them for clues could reveal Raxxla's location or related hints.

Delivery missions offered to Lave 2 with permit restrictions reported as potential bug. No lore evidence rules out Lave 2 as Raxxla location. Suggests monitoring for future QA responses.
Delivery missions to Lave 2 being offered. Bugs reported her https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/346797-Lave-2-permit-vs-missions. Could be indication of permit possible, or just a bug. Inclined to think the latter. Future QA response on bug might indicate which. Could not find anything lore wise ruling out Lave 2 as Raxxla.
