Raxxla Location Theories

Spatial References This entry lists spatial references related directly or indirectly to Raxxla. All maps are stolen from the Galactic Mapping Community Project. Name: moon of Lave Description: Ancient history believed the moon of Lave to be Raxxla;however Lave has no visible moon. References: Name: Outer Rim Description: Upper left corner of the GalMap. Covered by map 6 & 7?. References: The mission name "Obfuscated In The Outer Rim" is supposedly a direct reference to this region of space. Name: Soontill Description: Known Thargoid location?. Visited, all bodies explored, including all 9 belt clusters, nothing found. References: Grid reference: 250 : -46 : 121

Mission: Sell UA at Li Qing Jao Mission: Sell UA at Li Qing Jao in SOL that has a Black Market. Summary: No direct link has been established between the UA and Raxxla, only conjecture linking the Thargoids with the UA and Raxxla. Hypothesis: Selling the UA at Li Qing Jao will reveal it's secret, that may be related to Raxxla. | System | Date | Hours | #SSS | #Hafnium spotted | #UA spotted | Timocani | 10 aug 3301 | 6 | 42 | 3 | | Timocani | 11 aug 3301 | 6 | 33 | 2 | 0[*1] | Timocani | 12 aug 3301 | 6 | 37 | 2 | | Timocani | 13 aug 3301 | 6 | 62 | 3[*2] | | Timocani | 14 aug 3301 | 7 | 49 | 1 | [*1] One UA was retrieved by Cmdr Delmonte while in session.

Great pictures, Julio! If I may come with a suggestion: Take the pictures from the Debug view, that way you'll don't see the cockpit. Open the GalMap, and simply scroll to the coordinates, sadly the ones I suggested is a grid containing no stars. Spoiler http://i.Please use another image host/iIECYuC.png Click to expand... Ahoy lad! I'll use the external view more often from now on How did you get the coords shown? I'll try to add up the coordinates and see what comes out like this: RA = X XX= Y LA = Z Edit: OK i activated the grid, absolutely nothing at: X = +/- 181 Y = +/- 2424 (too high/low) Z = +/- 121 Edit: By just adding i come up with: X = +/- 19 Y = +/- 48 Z = +/- 13 Too much in the area, two times a system with the "GD" designation. Hmm... not sure thi...

I started looking around for hidden places within Elite Dangerous shortly after I started playing a few months ago.

My search renewed four days ago after seeing this in the video on the Horizons page in the Frontier Store (It's a 4 second clip about 60% through the video): Looks mysterious enough, think this could be a reference to Raxxla being a landfall body? Or maybe something new entirely? Click to expand... Looks alien indeed, would be nice to have a closer look.

Edit: Deleted. Sorry, Cmdrs. P.S. You don't have to go flying all over the galaxy. It's right in front of you.

I would be very surprised if Raxxla was in the Formidine Rift. I honestly don't know where it is myself, but it is unlikely to be that far away IMHO. It was known about hundreds of years ago when long range space travel was much more tedious. I have a feeling it's not too far from the core worlds, or there's a route to it that's not far from the core worlds. Cheers, Drew.

Well... Happy to see this is recovering interest!!! Click to expand... I have an interest about Raxxla since few month (I began the game in feb of last year and Raxxla intrigued me very early after I began ED but never found time to be focused on) ^^ Just a comment on the rogue planets. It was initially believed (and think it was in the DDS as well) that you would be able to reach rogue planets by mis-jumps. This type of system is not in game as of yet, but it is common belief that rogue planets could be those planets that are orbiting no star in some systems, often with very large orbits. They can usually be recognized because instead of being attached to a star in the system map, they are bound to an "X". Although this "X" might as well represent sometimes the baricenter of twin sta...

I probably dream when I listen to the Josh Hawkins BroCast where Drew was guested ? For those who never listen it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvcYNYIQZ8M Drew, in this broadcast, you said that you didn't know where was Raxxla but M. Brooks and D. Braben assured you that it was ingame. You also said in this broadcast that a lonewolf could find Raxxla randomly, that it was findable by brute force method, but the more accurate way to find it was not this method (you said that it was mostly like solving a puzzle than searching a particular object that we'll said : eh, this is Raxxla, look at the USS name). Drew, you said that kind of things few times, on few broadcast (the Josh Hawkins one, the DJ Truthsayer one) and also here, on this forum (I don't have the link now, but everyone can...

I wonder if Raxxla is a rogue star system, stuck between known star systems. How can i put this, the only way it will appear is to be in a certain known system where it will then appear in the nav panel list, even then it won't be listed as 'Raxxla' just some any other star system. You would have to be pretty eagle eyed to thing 'ooh that wasn't there before/ in the gal map. Just a theory, putting it out there. I hope there is something special there, not just any old pile of ruins. That whever finds it will open up a new area of the game to explore. Like rogue planets or a map of missing off the charts star systems populated by a hidden section of society. That would be cool.

It could even be a hollowed out asteroid with a hyperspace engine of some sort, similar to Jacques. It could be an already discovered world/moon... and the inhabitants now long gone, or dead. It could be some sort of intergalactic jump gate (The original Elite had a concept of Galactic Hyperspace) in orbit somewhere near Lave 2, but like Voyager in Sol, unless you know where to look... If it is still a living world, and if it has it's own system, then it's one that's not been searched. If it's in the bubble, as some have suggested, it's going to be one of a few that are not being exploited by superpowers... or is it?

Possible Location of Raxxla: Founders World My reasoning relies on what lore we have and practical application of it. Raxxla was described more than once as a rouge planetary body capable of autonomous (?) travel. So, I took the speeds of the fastest rouge bodies known (and a theroy that Raxxla isn't FTL capable) with the last 'known' location Lave 2 centuries ago (less than 1000 years) and did the math. All in all? 44.7ly minimum, 999ly maximum. So, Raxxla (and/or its gateway) is nearby. Within 1000ly one world with a startlingly close match (secrecy, Elitists, INRA, The Dark Wheel) would be Founders World. It has been accessible since 2015 (no engineers or boosts). It is 'hidden' by the Pilot's Federation through misinformation that contradicts itself. Oh, and its wording used t...

Placing Raxxla in Shinrarta Dezhra would fit with the Elite requirement. However, I haven't seen it there Could it be so far out in the system that it's invisible to the scanner?, perhaps just like Voyager you have to get close to see it. Considering Hutton Orbital, long (and close to an infinite number) trek's in Shinrarta Dezhra could be ahead. Obvious directions would be to target systems like Lave, Tionisla, etc. to begin with and then just keep going...

My biggest concern is that it's hidden in a permit locked system awaiting some future update or assets - This would mean we are hunting for nothing as we cannot "find" it even though technically its in game.

Think the bubble is a good place to start the search; however, if Raxxla is located in the bubble in plain sight, then wouldn't it have been found already? Click to expand... Maybe not if it's in a system, like a rogue planet - WAAAY out from the main star. Look at the Gen Ships and how they are found out in deep space. Listening posts give us a starting planet, and then a direction to fly in, and eventually the Genship pops up in nav-panel. I wonder if Raxxla is something like that, where we need a start location, and a direction to fly in, and eventually can come across it. Considering how big in-system deep space is, i doubt anyone could find it unless they had those 2 key points (start-point & direction of travel)

Hidden away somewhere in the Exploration subthread I started a discussion about a possible expedition to locate ancient stars. As I've said elsewhere ... I have a feeling that Raxxla (if it is a place) is older then the universe itself. There is a class of stars known as "Population III" stars. One of the goals of the James Webb Space Telescope is to find evidence of these stars ... stars who's existence dates back almost to the Big Bang itself. These are massive metal-poor stars with an age nearing 14 billion years. I believe that Raxxla will be found orbiting a metal rich star that is older than what is possible given current theories regarding the age of the universe and that the "gate" on that world was used to shove Raxxla and its parent star back into the distant past. It's great a...

Considering the limitations of drives back in that era (which does match ED lore) and that Jason Ryder found it and was spending time with his son before planning to return would indicate that it shouldn't be too far away from the old Lave/Leesti area in terms of galaxtic scale. Going off the sparse information we have from that, and (big assumption) assuming DB had it placed in line with the novel, it might even be within the bubble itself. If that is the case, it probably means that it doesn't appear to pings and can only be found by flying (relatively) close to it... possibly way out of the system or off the system plane. Click to expand... I think that's a valid theory; Raxxla in the bubble, not pingable, but only will appear when nearby, far off from any stars (dark planet?). Curr...

I think the idea of having to supercruise to a rogue planet to find Raxxla may have merit, seeing as that's how FDev have hidden other things in game already (Thargoid attack sites, generation ships, mega-ships, etc). The only thing we need is a system/body as a start point, and a direction. If anyone has any idea's based on clues from the lore, it's at least a testable theory in-game. Worth a try! Click to expand... I've given thought to starting at Sol (maybe Mars? where they found the Alien Relic?) and flying toward Lave.

Tionisla? Orbital Graveyard? Perhaps it is a hidden PoI like the voyagers, need to cruide 2Mls into the black then search like a madman to find it, and your window is tiny, like 1000ls

^^"Rosette" looks as good a path to Raxxla as any other paths.

Thx Scott ! Have a Scotch on me ! Edit: so, it seems we nevertheless have a clue: Raxxla is something physical located in the Milky Way and its finding is not subject to a collective effort. Unlike the FR mYsTeRy, who is searching matters. Next step: finding the right quadrant ! :S And to be sure there aren't no new DW mysterious missions, I am going to achieve this damned triple Elite status and then back to Shinrarta. NPC's beware ! Click to expand... I think you'll soon have more than sufficient NPCs to shake a large Mycoid flask at! p.s. I'm a Yorkshireman not a Scot, but I'll happily drink a dram of Scotch (single malt!) were the Dark Wheel SDezhra missions only open to triple elite, or could single elite attempt?

Mind if I ask if you are Triple E ? I mean, what if people were coming too close to finding Raxxla through these single E missions for the taste of FDEvs and they decided to harden the quest through triple E chained missions? Would be in their style. You follow the 'chain', unlocking systems, receiving new missions, unlocking..regions ! hahahahhaha I bet Raxxla is in Bovomit ! Click to expand... Tripple tripple E, I think. (We are not worthy).

Thanks to you for the transcription, Macros. Much more intelligible for me now. May I, respectfully, suggest you put the link on the FP in the quote "Strongest indications for the existence of Raxxla ...]" for newcomers? Click to expand... Agreed - This is a good idea... I did searches like that to. That's why I could find a system rather quickly. I use this page, for sector names: https://cim.sotl.org.uk/elite-dangerous/ Edit: I found three more 'RA XX-L A' systems: - Ooscs bRA XX-L A7-0 - Dryu bRA XX-L A7-0 - Hypao bRA XX-L A7-0 and the first one - Phooe bRA XX-L A76-0 I think these are the only systems with 'Raxxla', in the name.

Hi Thatchinho Not disagreeing with you, but can you tell me where we are told that it's a long distance away? (Because that implies a clue and DB said no clues). And why do you say jump drive technology had taken a massive step backwards? Click to expand... It's the quote from Elyssia fields that Han Zen mentioned coupled with the hinted retcon of the intergalactic jumps to long distance intragalactic. As to why do I say drives took a step backwards, several reasons (I'm talking about the loss of the type 1 (Quirium fuelled) tech btw: a. Galactic hyperdrive capabilities were lost b. Reliability and jump distance were improved but jump time went from a couple of seconds to days or weeks, which gives a net result of vastly decreased distances which could be covered. (And I don't use ...

The problem with a 7ly jump range, is that you can't go anywhere. You will at least have to follow the center of the galactic arm, to get very far. We only had access to one ship in Elite though. Other ships may have had longer range? In FE2/FFE, some ships had well over 50ly range(Turner class has 94ly). It would be resonnable to cover 3-5kly a year. A ten year trip would not be a problem, as you spent most of the time in the Stardreamer. Scooping was tedious in all the previous games, as you didn't drop next to the star. The technical aspects of the different jump drives aren't realy significant to the Raxxla mystery, I think. No location can be excluded based on their limitations. Click to expand... True, 7ly jump range would limit where you can go, but that's where the galactic h...

Here's a thought, if we accept that back in the days of Elite a very long trip was possible (and i still think Raxxla is going to be relatively close to us), how about checking the galactic opposite of where Sol is. Sol is at 0 / 0 / 0. Sag A* is at: 25.21875 / -20.90625 / 25899.96875 What is at 50.4375 / -41.8125 / 51799.9375 ?

You know, I vaguely remember somebody on the Canonn Thread trying this nearly 2 years ago. I can't remember who, or whether it was at the exact cords you mentioned, but I seem to recall it was a very dull, disenteresting system.

Think it was Derthek. Click to expand... It was. Derthek's Folly, aka Drooteou PW-I A36-4.

12 jumps to Raxxla. Well, maybe.

Dammit, I was going to ask Acid for the rationale, but I'll just have to respond to this instead! I'm not sure it is logical for the Guardians homeworld to be Raxxla. In the end the homeworld was pretty much religous/anti-tech and that's coming from a general tech level that was ahead of ours but not by a huge amount. That's not Raxxla. Potentially the Exiles could have returned to the homeworld after the main line of Guardian society was wiped out and continued their accelerating advancement there. It's not an unlikely scenario that they would have returned to the homeworld of their species IMHO btw - it's just there's nothing lore wise at present to indicate that it happened. Also, wasn't it fossils that was found on Mars rather than an artefact? My understanding is that the (still u...

Having never seen a Sap 8, AI Relic, Unknown Probe or Artifact with my own two eyes I'm going to keep heading in my current direction. I'm trying to make the Bovomit Sector before 2.4 lands. Just in case. Click to expand... Bovomit, isn't that where the FRift "lurking evil heat signatures" came from? The Klaxians?

This ship log will be used to document the assumptions, facts, theories and efforts surrounding Raxxla, with the ultimate goal of locating Raxxla. All commanders willing to join are most welcome. If no new entries are made by me for a period of 2 weeks, you must assume that I have been eliminated by the Dark Wheel, swallowed by the abyss, or found Raxxla and have gone there. I hope for the latter (but will probably send pretty postcards). Raxxla A planet in another galaxy? with an alien construct that's a gateway to other Universes. The Dark Wheel found it (and lost it?), and will keep it's location secret at all costs. Assumptions Raxxla exists and can be found. Supporting indications: The existence of the Dark Wheel faction which is strongly connected to Raxxla. Missions[2][3][4][6]...

I was reading through the op and was thinking about the assumptions about Raxxla. Do we assume anything about how we will know if we have found it? It will be named Raxxla? We will or will not be able to land on it? One would imagine it to have structures on it, perhaps even visible from space. If The Dark Wheel is there now, we should be attacked upon entering the system. Click to expand... Well it is all guess/theories up till now, but for sure it will not be a landable planet if we have to believe what has been "confirmed" till now, as it should have been in the game before Horizons. Meanwhile I am traveling to two almost exactly opposite systems to Sol, with generally the same kind of star... who knows..

Well. I haven't forgotten. The big question is just which species is hanging out there in Spoiler COL 70 Sector Click to expand... My take is all we're seeing now is orisians teaching/evolving us in how to fight thargoids, as well being weapons balance testing by fdev. Then they annoy the klaxians and the locks come off while the orisians zip through the bubble and split up heading for conflux, hawkings, formidine and maybe even colonia all for the sake of ironic symmetery.

Interesting: Btw Drew, someone in JV.com French forums is stating that he found a planet named "?", afterward he scanned it again and it says "Raxxla".

The CMDR might have stumbled onto one of these systems: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?p=5868255&viewfull=1#post5868255 Click to expand... If he did, he's going to be disappointed. And besides, he says he's 15kly's outside the bubble. Those guys are at least 44kly's...depending on the route. Also, In reading through the jv.com thread, it seems a little fishy to me. He claims to have honked the system and one of the planets was named "?". I've never seen a planet named anything after a honk, only "unexplored." Anyhow, passing that, he then says that he scanned it and it was only a rocky world...he seems to imply that it was a landabe world and that he has Horizons but that he was unable to land on it. He later goes on to say that he's 3kly's from the system but that he'll...

A timely reply with the right text! o7 Having just had this conversation, I can see several clues here: . One I picked up on at the time: 'Outer Rim'. Is this referring to the part of the galaxy that the person found this information in, or is this where they were looking for Raxxla? . A second clue is highlighted by this conversation: '... information about a certain celestial body ...'. It might have been assumed that Raxxla was a planet from what was said in The Dark Wheel but this is essentially the mission-giver saying the same thing: Raxxla is a celestial body, not a space station or a huge spaceship. . A place that isn't a place and a door that is also the key. This gets quoted a lot but in the context of this conversation: what type of celestial body is a place that isn't a ...

Could the Coalsack fit in ? Good place to "obfuscate" a rogue planet.

Wasnt there a stage where humans thought our solar system was the galaxy! Wasnt there a stage where hyperjumpimg wasnt heared of! Wouldnt it be well hidden if it was tucked on the rim of sol ... my guess its in sol deep space sol. Anyone tell me according to Ed lore what was first discovered system!

Well...not in this game seems to me. There is no nebula left to explore in the entire MW. Harsh nav conditions regions, however...

If it's findable now, it's probably Founder's World. It makes sense and fits all the myths. - It's one of the most heavily protected but accessible earth-like planets in the bubble that's not in one of the major faction's space. - It's immune from PP. - It was pretty far out from the Old Worlds, so it would have been quite a trek in the olden days - enough to keep the locations secret for a long time. - It's got the best pilots in the galaxy living on it and around it. - It's permit locked so only the Elite can get there. - It's got the only known presence of The Dark Wheel in orbit - The system name means "Life, she saw, hope" - which is in keeping with the cryptic nature of the Raxxla myth, and could be seen as an oblique reference to the doorway discovered there: "hope and Life...

"It's in the Milkyway" - So are we "It's a journey that everyone has to travel for themselves" - The journey to become Elite, blaze your own trail etc... "You have to make some of it a tiny bit obvious so people know what they're doing" - When you've made that journey you are issued a permit... subtle covert nudge maybe? The three major things Michael Brookes said when doing that interview a couple of year ago. I've also heard there was confirmation that it has been in-game more or less since the beginning and that anyone can find it? Which implies, because of what was available at launch, Base Game only owners can find it (even if they cant interact with it now because of additional features made or whatever).

I don't think it's Founders world. It's not 'Obfuscated In The Outer Rim'. It could be another planet in Shinrarta Dezhra, though. That would still fit the general concept. Perhaps a planet far out on the rim of the system, that does not show on honk? Don't know really but if it's something like that, I would be quite happy with the implementation. Click to expand... Sorry yes, that's more what I meant. I think it is likely somewhere in Shinrarta Dezhra, but not on the honkable/scannable planets. Out of interest, would or was Shinrarta Dezhra ever considered an 'Outer Rim' system back in the days of early space travel when the bubble was a lot smaller? Because that could help towards that part of the puzzle. (Also that would be confusing and misleading, but then... obfuscated... ma...

Yeah, exactly. And yes, the settling of Achenar in the 2300s is precisely why I wanted to check whether there was a 7ly max jump route to there from Sol. Click to expand... So, if I'm reading all this FSD discussion correctly, there's nothing useful that can be inferred from it regarding plausible distances from Sol to Raxxla. Right?

Great effort, repped! Can I just ask though, is the stuff from Cmdr Faulcon about the crashed ship and records actually real, or just poetic licence? I don't recall those details from earlier in this thread... Click to expand... Thanks! Faulcon is actually Jaiotu talking about his explorations / theories So, if I'm reading all this FSD discussion correctly, there's nothing useful that can be inferred from it regarding plausible distances from Sol to Raxxla. Right? Click to expand... Well, we know that old hyperdrive definitely did go further than 7ly at a time. So that means, technically, the whole galaxy is back in play.... so, really, it makes it worse in terms of searching.

So, if I'm reading all this FSD discussion correctly, there's nothing useful that can be inferred from it regarding plausible distances from Sol to Raxxla. Right? Click to expand... Well, it depends what you considered plausible in the first place. We can infer that very high distances are plausible, but personally I'd already inferred that from other reasoning. But it definitely means that it could be somewhere that can't be reached with 7ly jump range. - which makes sense in terms of the lore as well.

All of those bases are new - as in, made in the last three years. So, all of them fit into my logic - in that, if FTL was easy and commonplace prior to FSD then those bases would be old and there would be colonies all over the Galaxy. There's not, so, older FTL was limited in the extreme. 2) Sure, but you're forgetting - Raxxla is known about. So, at least one person made it there and back, and if Ryder's theories/myths are true then many people made it there, live there and guard it. If that's the case then it must have been close enough to known space that getting there (and back) was viable - what's the point of guarding a place and assassinating people that know where it is if it's so far away that it's almost impossible to get to?

This ship log will be used to document the assumptions, facts, theories and efforts surrounding Raxxla, with the ultimate goal of locating Raxxla. All commanders willing to join are most welcome. If no new entries are made by me for a period of 2 weeks, you must assume that I have been eliminated by the Dark Wheel, swallowed by the abyss, or found Raxxla and have gone there. I hope for the latter (but will probably send pretty postcards). Raxxla A planet in another galaxy? with an alien construct that's a gateway to other Universes. The Dark Wheel found it (and lost it?), and will keep it's location secret at all costs. Assumptions Raxxla exists and can be found. Supporting indications: The existence of the Dark Wheel faction which is strongly connected to Raxxla. Missions[2][3][4][6]...

Polaris... or the Moon. That would be amusing. Click to expand... Suspect not- Polaris is too tied in historically with the Thargoids, & Luna is too intimately tied to Earth. Raxxla was supposed to be a wandering planet & if Luna disappeared the effect on Earth would be catastrophic as it has a stabilising effect on Earth’s orbit; FD try to stick to scientific plausibility. Besides Luna was mapped pretty closely for the Apollo programme so any alien structures would have been found. Mars is a possibility perhaps; does it have Phobos & Deimos in-game? Seem to remember some comment IRL that one of those may have been captured (DBOBE is quite keen on real astronomy). Merope 5C seems like it was captured but that’s too tied in with Thargoids again, and we’d have spotted alien structures the...

I have been interested in raxxla for a while but not really started looking for it apart from when I am on my deep space trips or expeditions, has anyone suggested looking in the dark areas between the arms of the galaxy?

In Salomé's message from Beagle Point during the Distant Worlds Expedition she said that the first mention of Raxxla was recorded in the year 2814. While it is possible that Drew Wagar just made that date up I sincerely doubt it. I think Drew got that date from Frontier. Not fully sure how much we can trust Salomé's message since it sits in a "not-quite-canon" space ... though her message was live streamed by Frontier Developments themselves. Click to expand... It’s in-game/Galnet so is ED canon. I would love to have a good read of the FD internal lore book! What was the date setting for the Dark Wheel, does that fit this date?

Total speculation: I'd assume from that date that early in the establishing of the Faraway network an expedition ran across Raxxla. If that's accurate then it lends a lot of weight to the idea that Raxxla must be in the bubble - maybe even very close to the core worlds. Click to expand... The Dark Wheel novella also indicates that a mishap in Faraway could result in time travel. It could be that Raxxla doesn't exist yet and instead of going out in search of Raxxla we should be staying home and building it.

If you can find a connection between Sirius and the year 2814 you'll have me convinced. Click to expand... 2814 is at least well within the time frame between the establishment of the Sirius colony and the events of The Dark Wheel. I did a bit of checking on the in-game orbits of Sirius A and Sirius B. Their Semi major axis', match their relative mass. If there is a hidden body in the system, it's either planet sized or very far out. The difference between a rouge body and a hidden native body in a system, is basically how you locate it. For a rouge body(a guest in the system), it should be possible to find it in the same way as the Voyagers were found. Aim for the right system and fly until you get a 'Slow Down' message or see something moving in the sky. For a native body, we are ...

Yeah. Well, I was forgetting that, in this game where even light is faster than light, a rogue planet also could be FTL .... NVM Click to expand... According to those that believe in the Dogon myth, it should be in orbit around Waypoint.

Click to expand... While I'm not sure if such a hunt has been directly suggested ... sure. Knock yourself out. We literally know so very little about Raxxla that any theory or quest to find it can't be ruled out. Could Raxxla exist in the relatively sparse region between arms? Sure. Why not? If you take The Dark Wheel at face value, putting us already on a precipitous edge since that novella has been declared non-canon in regards to the current version of Elite, it seems that Raxxla should be much closer to Sol however. If Jason Ryder did find Raxxla before his untime...

I think its in the core, some tiny poi floating +500,000 Ls by itself, would be impossible to find, unless you had a key. Finding voyager was bad enough. Something like that. If it has been in the game from the start, then will be just a floating sidewinder.

Jason Ryder was killed i Leesti. Click to expand... Yes, that was the point I was (rather playfully) suggesting. There is no sign of Raxxla in Leesti, is there?? 2189ls out?? Could be a grand double bluff by FD to plant it at was supposedly the start of the search.

If it is in the game, it will have a different name to stop data miners or keyword searches, going of frontier's comments, they say it is a journey all have to make on there own I say it is that players will have to search for it the old fashioned way.

Or, perhaps Raxxla is in or near the horizontal galactic plane, i.e. Z-coordinates are close to zero. Just a guess.

Or, perhaps Raxxla is in or near the horizontal galactic plane, i.e. Z-coordinates are close to zero. Just a guess. Click to expand... Also a very interesting point; which I tested by going to the almost exact opposite of Sol finding, sadly nothing, but of course there is way more with coordinates of 0:0 but first stop: Lave!

I would like to point out, that since my last (double :/) post, I have looked at the coordinates of each system in my list; Supay and CD-55 1514 both have one coordinate very near 0, might it be worth checking?

Quad-elite guys? Really!?!? To think raxxla requires quad-elite status is utter nonsense, raxxla, and I quote "is a journey we all will take" such requirements would from a developer standpoint would prevent most players from ever finding it, remember it's ultimate goal for straight explorers. Raxxla is more than likely a system that is out of the highest possible jump ranges. It's the only sure-fire way to prevent players from finding it before it is complete. Think like a developer not a commander

Whatever it is bear in mind that it was found and reached easily enough hundreds of years ago, so it can't need any exotic tech to get there. Click to expand... Unless it moved.

I imagine that Raxxla is travelling at fixed speed through the Galaxy (will it fall of the edge?). That could also explain DB's cryptic statement "And we know where it is". Don't think I've seen something about an atmosphere on Raxxla, other than we know people are living there, but that does not imply an atmosphere. Click to expand... Personally I don't think Raxla is moving through the galaxy. I think it is in orbit, somewhere. Both the hint: 'The Silent Song Of The Spheres'(most likely a reference to Kepler's 'harmony of the spheres' and the law of planetary motions) and the hint 'The wheel of time turns'(suggesting cyclic behavior), may point to an orbit. The wheel of time turns, is a small poem or quote by fantasy writer, Robert Jordan: “The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come ...

Just to theorize a bit: Raxxla: Place, that isn't a Place. Door, that is also the key. It is thought to be a rogue planet, maybe a rogue system? A system in itself is a term we use to name a conglomerate of stellar bodies in relative vicinity in orbit around a central object. Correct? What if Raxxla was an unnamed rogue system, travelling through the outer gaps between the galaxies spiral arms, allowing at certain times (server reboots) to travel and change the place in the galmap. It would be a place without being a place, since we call a system a place, which it isn't really. It would be a door and also the key, to an unreachable region of space, via hopping into the system and further on. Does that sound plausible?

Dumb question from a Commander just starting out. I'm sure this has been discussed previously somewhere, but FD has said Raxxla is in the game and can be found, but that doesn't seem to suggest "can be found, right now." Is it possible that Raxxla is currently permit locked? Click to expand... FD had said last year the Raxxla was out there and was accessible as they informed us we would know that we had found it, if we entered the system it was hidden in. Obviously, many explorers are tackling the problem brute-force, going to the far reaches of the galaxy and scanning down system after system to locate Raxxla based on what FD said. They also said many more Mysteries are out there yet to be discovered.

Ah, gotcha! So, it was more the other bit of Fyrd's statement that piqued my interest - specifically the bit saying that it was discoverable (although the other bit does kind of follow on from that, obviously ). My money's always been on it being behind a permit lock, or through some other means in game but undiscoverable at present. So, if FD have genuinely said it's discoverable at present, I'm seeing that as pretty big news! I fully take your point about the probability of stumbling across it being so low though, and agree (I think!) - in practical terms it'd probably still effectively be undiscoverable even if it's not literally so! Click to expand... There is one small scale quest unfulfilled from the Rifter thread and that's Hassan's homeworld. 1." WREDGUIA sector about 400 li...

Is that the same DrewW who told us that the Rift mystery wasn't a POI? Do you have a link for where he stated that it was in-game? Click to expand... No I don't have a link to my 800 pages of notes. Somewhere in the rift threads "Apologies folks - was looking at the wrong system! Hassan and Sushil's homeworld is in the WREDGUIA sector, around 400 light years away. Cheers, Drew. " I think all the authors should sue FDEV for not following through with in game assets and proper support. In fact we should all sue, we've all been deeply injured and emotionally damaged by FDev's callous and less abuse. The occasional tourist beacon where something supposedly happened doesn't cut it. We'll sue Jeff Bezos cause it goes through his servers so it his fault, he's as guilty as the New York S...

Yes, not important to the mystery of the Formidine Rift, but at least its something leftover that's confirmed to exist as opposed to chasing various ghosts that are not. Looks simple on the face of it a binary system with one actinic star and one red about 400 lyrs from earth in WREDGUIA sector. But ya know folks, chasing unicorns is more interesting than finding a lost pony. Click to expand... Except that it's been chased already and nobody ever found it. Given that FDev didn't manage to actually put the Zurara next to an ELW, do you really imagine they hand-crafted a system 400 LY outside the Bubble just to tie in with Reclamation? If you believe they did that, then you'd have to believe that they put Octavia's base between Ferenchia and Mistra - which they didn't. Hassan's homewor...

I'm triple elite, allied with TDW, never been to Mariyacoch system before and currently investigating. I can't say there would be anything interesting to report. Besides the earth-like world orbiting a class L dwarf, thats maybe a bit unusual. I will report if anything changes.

Fdev never said you'd be able to find it or get to it - they only ever said it's there and they know where it is. Plus, if it's Founder's World as some of us think, then you can totally access it anytime you want

So are we definitely not thinking that Beta Phoenicis is Raxxla?

When 3.0 hits, I'll hunt for SAP 8 Core Containers, and give the Thargoid Decryptor device a try. My alt is still travelling the Galaxy Rim. Tracking TDW ships did not give any hints. Believe Raxxla is in SD, have yet to find a good method to map all visible stars for elimination. Think that's it.

I have a very strong feeling that this is the only way. If Raxxla is in a system that shows up on the galaxy map and the planet it self shows up on a discovery scan it's not really obfuscated, is it? All available info points to Raxxla being a planet. That's why I think it's the planet that is obfuscated, not the system. Just my simple logic. Could well be flawed. P.S. It's in Sirius. Click to expand... Siriously?

So, as I said a while back, I started working toward getting the Sirius permit with my secondary account (primary is in Colonia and I didn't want to fly him back to investigate). After days of building reputation via the mission boards I gave up, equipped a passenger cabin and took a long-range tourist out 23,000 light-years to visit "The Beacon Worlds" ... which is something like 3 Earth-likes orbiting a companion to a Neutron Star. Total trip took me two weeks due to only putting in 30 minutes to an hour here and there. So now I've got my Sirius permit. I know I've been in the Sirius system before but I never really paid it much mind. This time I visited with my eyes wide open. What a crudhole. Two stars. Each with one planet. There's the gas giant "Waypoint" and the airless world of...

So the Oolite Saga is not 3304 canon, and "there will be no clues". Let's find some things we do know: Assumptions: - The trip to and from Raxxla, assuming it has been found before - likely not by TDW - would likely be within the span of an adult lifespan. - Raxxla has been around pre-dating human probably human spaceflight/human civilization. - it is surface based, not orbital - it will likely not be in a system capable of producing a viable ELW or similarly habitable world - it is not of Thargoid origin, but likely sought out by the Thargoid races. - the only reward for discovering Raxxla will be bragging rights Facts: The TDW faction is not TDW The Thargoids are disabling/wrecking stations rather than obliterating them - a strategy to distract the Bubble from getting in the w...

I now realize that that's we've been doing this whole time. Click to expand... Founders World. Hidden in plain sight, controlled by the PF, Dark Wheel in orbit, Elite rank to access. Not too close to core worlds, well within what could have been found 500 years ago, not on normal maps, didn't exist in any other game. PF are hyper rich. Elites retire to surface (through Gate) when they get bored of this universe. No city lights Because they all go through the gate.

If there's lights on a planet with 5million people, then that surely means that either the lights aren't related to planetary populations in a strict way, or that they are, but Founders World is exempt? Both of those results are pretty good aren't they? Based on the picture that seems to be building up, Founders is a very odd planet. - A month of night time. - Approx 80million population, no observable lights - Surface oxygen oddities that might siggest it's not a good place to live/possible to live there - High surface pressure might siggest it's not a good place to live/possible to live there Again I do wonder why the PF would pick a planet like that? Given that (in theory) they probably have access to the best explorers out there, and access to the best exploration data, when pic...

Ok guys! Theory Time! I got a new one. I'm one in the camp of Raxxla being located deep outside the bubble. Far from inhabited space. Reason being the mention of the famous gateway on/around Raxxla. Since we 'know' Raxxla is in-game its reasonable to believe the gateway is one of those things kept canon in Elite. It being located far doesn't matter for any whom have visited Raxxla as it can take them anywhere (possibly all for inter-galaxy jump to anywhere within the milky way, one-way). As for anyone could have found Raxxla in the first place, need remember that while the jump-ranges of early explorers was pitiful compared to now, smaller ranges doesn't mean nobody explored that far. It just would have taken years! Now for this theory; i propose that Raxxla could be within the Hyponia R...

We broke the thread. So random drive by theory, bits proposed at one time another, entirety probably proposed somewhere in the depths of this or another thread. Premises Raxxla exists Thargoids are aware of Raxxla Raxxla is or marks the location of some sort of portal Thargoids use a different form of witch space than humans Portals are useful if they take you somewhere you can't normally go Barnacles emblem looks like Magellanic cloud So somewhere in human space, likely near a backtracked region to Thargoid origination (ie near Pleiades probably) is a portal that will take you to the Magellanic cloud. Even if true it's entirely possible activating or even seeing the portal could require a complex, difficult to deduce combination. Like having a UP in your hold on the first d...

Glad to see this thread is still going, I'm looking for something to do in game, can someone catch me up on the basics of what has been discussed? How much effort is being concentrated towards the original novella? Is the 'Outer Rim' clue still being explored? Is it possible that outer rim relates to a ringed planet, maybe a huge gas giant, Raxxla could be a moon? If not it could be a system on the far side of the galaxy, there was a theory early on in the game that the Thargoids came from the far side of Sag A*, possible connection there maybe? Has the video detailing the art source book been posted? I can't remember the specifics but I'll find the link, basically a CMDR finds an old Sci-Fi art book that the original Novella author tied a lose story too, it's contains Raxxla, I'll find ...

If it's in bubble, I think it's going to be something very simple. Having been in-game for a long time now, and no location or associated data discovered, I think it's a planet, with no textures hence invisible, possibly low mass, and far away from arrival point in a system somewhere, could be anywhere. Even distinguishing from a comet could be difficult. If populated system, game has it registered as a POI, so no signal sources or conflict zones nearby. Finding it even when knowing where to look could be difficult. Just some bleeping sounds, and maybe a coriolis station, that acts buggy since game doesn't quite register it right. Something like this should be easy to hide in a game. "This is never gonna stop Clay, this challenge will never stop" A few things: Early on Frontier didn't kn...

Raxxla isn't in the bubble. I'm very sure we can eliminate that theory. Soontill, within the lore at one time, was also a mysterious/mythical planet only previously known about at all, due to translations of private recording of the first, non-violent communications with Thargoids. It was able to avoid being discovered for so long while being so close to the bubble, because:1). It was a dark/uninteresting (except for the planet itself) system just outside the bubbles old world's frontier. And 2.) Once it was found by the CIEP, they further kept it secret (with advanced Thargoid tech) as newer hyperspace technology became available to common explorers. Even despite this, its discovery and reveling to the public was inevitable due to its close proximity. Raxxla must be much further away fro...

...FD has confirmed that the system Raxxla is in has been honked. Click to expand... I have heard this too, but haven't seen the source. Must have been some Twitch stream. Story also tells it was supposed to be a system you could do fuel scooping. When thinking about probabilities, it would have been somewhere with more traffic.. than less. Too much traffic and it would have been found 4 years ago. Less than 1k Ly from the bubble has many untagged planets, but not many unvisited systems I believe. Less than 300 Ly from Colonia has unvisited systems too I believe, since I found an ELW in that radius a few months back. Paths to Colonia, Sag A*, Formidine Rift and Beagle Point are well visited, deviate a little and they are less. Various far-away sights are well tagged, surroundings vary. ...

Raxxla isn't in the bubble. I'm very sure we can eliminate that theory. Click to expand... I don't think anyone can eliminate that theory. There are some very good reasons why Raxxla could be in the bubble and still be a kept secret. In many ways Raxxla hiding right under our noses makes more sense then it being some random dot out among the billions of stars far from home. According to lore the new Frame Shift Drive which only became available a few years prior to 3300 ushered in an unprecedented period galactic exploration. A mission like the Zurara's into the Formidine Rift was a major undertaking whereas today's explorers jaunt all the way to Beagle Point for holiday. At the time that Raxxla entered the lexicon those kinds of trips were simply impossible. Hyperspace was strictly reg...

https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/8n7c92/raxxla_found/ terenn_nash 1 point·16 minutes ago Michael Brooks has said players have been through the system raxxla is in but hadnt scanned it, so random player passing by it not realizing what they were seeing, totally possible. that being said, Raxxla being so far out, unlikely. human ships couldnt get that far when it was originally discovered, it has to be in the bubble.

If Raxxla is supposed to be right under our noses it probably is in the bubble, and in or around a high profile system. Alioth: Former center for Thargoid interest / invasion in previous games President Halsey storyline involves the Alliance and Alioth. Some of the early trailers show a Cobra with Alliance logos on the wings. The Cobra is the iconic ship of the Elite universe, and seems to be given a special significance. The founding of the Alliance still seems off. The Feds and Imps should have been able to curb stomp the Independence movement if they worked together. Even now the Alliance would have a hard time fighting both the Feds and the Imps at the same time. What was the Alliance's trump card to get them to walk away? Both the Feds and Imps fought over Alioth repeatedly....

So I can't see FD putting Raxxla outside the bubble. It needs to have a chance at being found and considering less than 1% of the game is explored they would hide it under our noses, otherwise I doubt these servers would be online long enough to even find it. People would have long quit. Also there was an interesting forum conversation stating that Raxxla wasn't capable of FTL itself and so it has been travelling at sub FTL speeds...wherever it went. Using some rough/ generalized math the OP felt it was under 1000ly of its original position at Lave 2, centuries earlier. 1000ly being the worse case, and possibly assuming light travel, but not faster than(?), and possibly assuming a constant travel, but it's undoubtedly been parked in a other system most of that time. This would make sense t...

But I think “outer rim” is particularly odd. Definition of “rim” is “the upper or outer edge of an object, typically something circular or approximately circular”, so the word “outer” here is redundant. It might be used to indicate distance, as in ‘outer edge of the galaxy’, but that is a very long way from the bubble & doesn’t seem to meet the hints from the original source; so it might be a double bluff & suggest that whatever/wherever it is also has an “inner” rim, such as an asteroid belt or planetary ring. Is there a nebula name that suggests some relevant form of geometry? E.g. Ring, Helix, Hourglass, Cone, Spirograph nebulae? MB did imply FD had made it “a little bit obvious” Click to expand...

That one does seem to get recycled again and again. We do tend to retread over old ground as new people join our cult quest. Click to expand... Here's a new theory then - at least I think it's new. I don't recall seeing it discussed anywhere. Personally, I don't believe that Raxxla is in the Bubble (we'd have found it long ago) or in the vicinity of it (we'd have stumbled across it by now), so that leaves a whole lot of empty space for it to be in. But the odds against someone stumbling across a random system thousands of lightyears from Sol are astronomical, so we'd need a clue - except we've been told there aren't going to be any clues. So how could FDev increase the chances of someone finding Raxxla out in the deep black? Well, the COULD arrange for an apparently unrelated even ...

Hmmm.. what about the last planet in the game to be explored? It's definitely already in the game

That one does seem to get recycled again and again. We do tend to retread over old ground as new people join our cult quest. Click to expand... I’m toying with the idea of forming a new cult dedicated to the worship of Lav. Acolytes will dance around and offer gifts of the finest Lavian brandy to the high priest (me) no karaoke allowed!

Maybe it's the first planet you see when entering a fresh game. Maybe they expected raxxla to be the first thing we found and it was supposed to trigger a game event on someone locating it. And they keep saying there are no hints because it's so simple any hints would immediately destroy any need to hunt for it.. On a second note: "has to be a tiny bit obvious" Maybe it's a tiny bit and it's obvious... What is the most obvious tiny bit in the game?! Click to expand... I'd say it's the first planet we see. The very first - on the start menu screen. The thing is however, the background for basic Elite: Dangerous and Horizons look different (which doesn't say they are in different systems though) Anyway, did anyone attempt to locate any of them anyhow? Any clues?

One thing that might make finding Raxxla even tougher is OBAFGKM (also known as KGB FOAM). I know when I'm out generally traveling I tend to set my filters so that I only drop in on fuel stars unless I'm looking for something specific. I'm sure I'm not the only one. If Raxxla happens to be in a non-fuel star system this would make someone 'accidentally' discovering it even less likely. As you depart the bubble the first non-visited systems you'll start to encounter are those low-interest brown dwarf systems. It could be that Raxxla is sitting in our own backyard at orbiting of these low interest stars. Another possibility is that Raxxla won't show up with a normal Honk. What is Raxxla is orbiting one of those distant binary stars that is so far from the main star. Many explorers simply s...

I'll be trying to stream my hunt from now on. If anyone cares to watch. XD Im thinking about doing a Youtube Series in the same format as Expedition Unknown or other History Channel like shows. EDIT: Iv decided to search the area between the bubble and the LBN Nebula. A neat little purple nebula. There has to be a reason Sirius Corporation decided to build that direction. Sirius Corporation ties into "The League" as I call them, and is responsible for mining and construction projects in the Col 70 region. I know all of that is the Formidine Rift mystery, but perhaps they tied a bit of it in for simplicity sake. Who knows, its worth a shot and the LBN sector is barely ever talked about. Being the second closest nebula to the bubble.

Actually, now you mention it, it's a bit odd that there's no value to asteroid belts. You would think some would be pretty rich in minerals. Click to expand... The only way I can think of to disprove this is to search every single one of them though. I have a feeling that, just "Looking" wont be enough. Just like a generation ship, you'd have to be damn lucky to find it without knowing which direction to travel in the system. Also thouse "Obsefucated in the Outer Rim" I think applies to the Outer Rim of the bubble. Obsefucated meaning to make something difficult or to hide it. I have a hunch that The portal TO raxxla is in the outer rim of the bubble but its hidden really well. Otherwise we would of found it. Look at how fast people find the Guardian and Thargoid sites. Someone just HA...

It also says it has a star and 6 planets. The picture from the original artwork for raxxla included the star and 6 planets plus the giant eye. I wonder if that is a coincidence. And only 1 person went through it. But that was in the last 7 days. So, I don't know if that fits that other rumor. If that system is found to have something like different coordinates over time that would be a pretty obvious give away. Is it in a space on the map near anything significant in the game. Either related to raxxla or not? Maybe raxxla was moving and got frozen?! If 14 is significant there is an odd number theme here two. There are 28 systems with the name Braxxla. Assuming the above list is complete. Seems to be revolving around the prime number 7 potentially. I wonder if the locations involve 7 frac...

Just a note about proc-gen system naming: Each sector will contain multiple XX-L A?? regions. These regions will always be in the same places in each sector. Since the number after the 'a' is defined by where the region is on the north/south axis these values will be consistent across sectors. If you look stars where there are two numbers you'll see that it occurs when the region is at the eastern side of the sector and 'loops' around to the western end. This gives a consistent pattern of 7 +14 21 +14 35 +14 wraps to 36 49 +14 62 +13 wraps to 63 76 +14 90 +14 104 +14 108 +13 wraps to 118 The anomaly in the list above is Dryu Bra XX-L a9-0 - it shouldn't be there! Click to expand... clearly Dryu Bra XX-L a9-0 needs an intensive search, in all directions in at least a 10,0...

The bubble I am referring to i discovered on EDSM. Here is the description: "The Local Bubble is a cavity in the interstellar medium thought to be the result of a supernova explosion within the past ten to twenty million years. Hundreds of light years across, the bubble was created by gas blown into the interstellar medium by stellar winds and eventually expanded even further by the blast waves of a supernova. The interstellar gas swept up by the expansion of the bubble has later cooled, forming a (relatively) dense shell of gas and dust around the cavity. The Solar System lies near the center of this old supershell, whose boundaries can be traced by a sudden rise in dust extinction of stars at distances greater than a few hundred light years. The Local Bubble interstellar cavity does n...

Michael Brookes' 1) "It's in the milky way, but I can't tell you where at this stage." 2) "It's a journey that everyone has to travel for themselves." 2) Seems to imply it's not just sitting there waiting to be found. More there's some way to access that would require some effort by each individual CMDR. Journey could be a literal journey, so far outside the bubble, or I'd say more likely, journey would refer to some work for a CMDR to "unlock" somehow. HTH! Click to expand... I think you're completely right. Thing is, where to pick up or start this journey?

Bumbling around this afternoon came across Acellus Prime,owned by Pilots Federation. The name seemed suggestive so I popped into the base to have a look. However nothing jumped out at me on the missions or passenger boards or astronomical bodies.

Maybe we should be looking for this: http://www.astronomy.com/news/2018/08/free-range-planet Rogue planet just 20 light-years from Sol. I say we start a petition to get the International Astronomical Union to official rename SIMP J01365663+0933473 to Raxxla. Then we can just turn to David Braben and say, "There. We found it."

Waiting for the Perseids shower peak next week here on La Isla Bonita (La Palma), decided to look for Raxxla IRL in the meanwhile (http://www.iac.es/divulgacion.php?op1=16&id=1349&lang=en). A star almost as old as the universe. La Palma Skybox right now: Spoiler https://i.Please use another image host/rfeAruR.png Tomorrow, going to climb to the GTC (http://www.gtc.iac.es/) in order to use the big means.

Did you check system description and ages of those suns? Click to expand... Assuming you meant Asellus Primus. That is a starting system option with Horizons thus why the PF own it / have a pressence in the system. It was not always like this. IIRC it was one of the systems back in the very first beta bubble (i bootis and aulin being two others that come to mind) Cmdrs have been all up and down that system from the very start. (Unless something new has been added) Click to expand... Mmm, no I didn't...but it in my defence it was 30C+ sat at my PC, and I had had a large Italian meal with wine [blah] yes, that’s the one. It struck me that Asellus is a genus of marine creature & so is the barnacle.......and Primus seems to suggest some importance. wasn’t aware it’s a starting system ...

Another oddity here, Persephone in the Sol system (to my knowledge) doesn't exist.

Mmmmh... seems to me MB has just left the Dinos for the Rollers... Thx for the hint ! *Searching the GalMap for the Roller Coaster planet/faction*

Another oddity here, Persephone in the Sol system (to my knowledge) doesn't exist. Click to expand... i’ve visited it in-game (about a year ago). Surprisingly bright so far from the sun. I thought it’s FD’s version of Planet X but I could be wrong

And 'Regor' is 'Roger' backwards. Everyone, search for ALXXAR in the Galaxy Map. Click to expand... Oh, found ALXXAR years ago. Right next to Cas A. (Ducks and runs...)

I'm hoping the Guardians had nothing to do with Raxxla (except for maybe a one time use of the Gateway). I'm still suspicious of the Hyponia Region myself.

Anyone going to the Cone Sector with Cannon? It may well contain Raxxla, and I don't currently have any better theories so I'm off to take my search there. Click to expand... Yep. I've left my Epsilon Orionis hangout (which is beneath the permit lock sectors sureounding the Cone Sector.), and am doing a bit of exploring of the edges of the permit locks while waiting for the Gnosis to make it's way over. Seriously doubt Raxxla's going to be in there, but there's rumoured to be a small human settlement of some kind (asteroid base maybe), and I'm intrigued to see if there's anything to indicate why the surrounding permit locks were put in place, and who by.

There’s screenshot from galmap floating around somewhere that shows the population. Will link it if I can find it. Edit - managed to find it really quickly! It’s Jmanis handiwork, so a reputable source! https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...uins-updates?p=5284615&viewfull=1#post5284615 Only thing is it might be from a Beta. All the other locations made it into the full game though so it’s very possible this one did too. Click to expand... Nice! I'm a little confused by the whole Gnosis jump into the permit locked sector however. They'll be jumping to a single star system within the permit locked region, right? Unless the permit locks are lifted for the sector how will it be possible to jump to other nearby star systems? Will the voyagers be limited to exploring just the one single st...

So the Canonn guys from Varati (iconic system of the disappeared E/F missions) are aware (I wish I knew how...) of existing unlocked systems surrounded by entire locked regions. They seem to be very well informed. At least much better than we average players. Click to expand... Canonn is good at crowd sourcing. That's the way to know stuff in ED. People spend hours searchmpleing the Galmap. When someone finds something, the Canonn does not forget. Jmains is a good example of a non Canonn player, that has provided lots of info to the community(cracking the Morse code in the UA, for example). He always reports to the Canonn. The only other group that works as systematically, is the Children of Raxxla. They never disclose what they have until a discovery is mad though.

Right, Pa. As I said, perhaps we need to know exactly what Raxxla is in ED for us to find where Raxxla is in ED. We mostly assume it's a door that is also the key and a place that isn't a place. A celestial body obfuscated in the outer rim. I hope it still is so. The RH's definition is very clear. A planet inhabited by people (a TDW schismatical party) with a portal..etc... (Rafe Zetter's stuff) Hopefully you can find the thread between both, Doc. Otherwise who will ? Click to expand...

Exotic stars are apparently a star class in ED, that no one has found. - Raxxla is a very smal planet. Stellar Forge seem to have a 100km radius minimum size. It could still be possible to manually insert smaler bodies. These may not be detectable by discovery scanner. - Raxxla is a comet. Comets are in the game and have been since launch. They exist as a point with gravity. Some stations orbits them, but they are invisible. Please add ...

Today 10:50 PM Flying hellfish said All aboard the good ship cannon express for a one way ticket to raxxla ! Let me elaborate... raxxla is in a system close to sol it has been excesable from vanilla (until just now i.e. q3 update) and is ...or was in plain sight and there are so many other links that are too weak to mention without getting the hate train rolling but . If it is there this is exactly how i would expect fd to smack it down on us by just handing it to the biggest group that relates to it ... come on it was always going to be cannon , children of raxxla or there pet ant!

From front page “A certain celestial body. Place that isn't a place, door that is also the key. The myth." well a “door” is also a “gateway”, and there are plenty of stations in-game that are named “xxxx gateway”, and since a station exists in/moves through space while orbiting its parent body, then it could also be viewed as a “celestial body”; so I don’t think we should ignore the possibility of “Raxxla Gateway” orbiting away somewhere in a system that has an obscure name. Especially if it orbited a black hole since that would fit the “Place that isn't a place” bit, as would the station orbiting a comet idea. Come to think of it I dont remember ever having encountered a comet in-game..... edit: TDW appear to be a particularly bloodthirsty lot. I got a secondary mission yesterday to ass...

Well FD have said (if I remember correctly) there are no other galaxies in ED so I discount the original reference, to an extent, as I can’t see how it could fit technically with what FD have done with ED. However if my hypothesis is correct and there is a station named something like “Raxxla Gateway” then it could be the source of a permit unlock mission to open up an area with a third alien race (or the Guardian AI maybe); that would fit both the game mechanics and the essence of the original reference. That station might be orbiting a comet towards the outer rim of a bubble (or nearby) system making it extremely difficult to find. Click to expand... Fdev have said raxxla has been "honked" ! Also there is now a guardian ai (he insists on being called skippy the magnificent) construct...

People live on planets without atmospheres - they just do it inside boxes. Raxxla probably isn't a gas giant though. Click to expand... True, but then again it supposedly predates horizons. So if we exclude landable planets, where a detailed surface scan would reveal any settlements/ outposts on the surface map, I can't really think of any other way to confirm that you had found it. The system map might tell you that there's a population, but that covers the system, not the individual planets. Not to mention all the supposed secrecy would mean that the population data would be locked from the navigation computers, hence, the terraformed planet that shouldn't be there is Raxxla.

Something stupid just dawned on me. If raxxla is supposed to be a low population planet then what about a search of planets at and below said population. Would that give any hints? Didn't a book give the limit of population to the visiting people. Or was that just in the original material? Are there a lot of planets with low populations? Even if it's not in the game and just the original pre game info maybe they mimicked it. This might be a hot topic but, if you can figure out what it is based on in real life maybe it can make it easier. If raxxla has to do with intel or potentially jewish intel for instance(as there are potential hints of this in the art and various things, plus that was a common belief at the time of the original art and game) maybe you can pinpoint what it should be. A...

Welcome to the thread then. Your welcome gift (have to wear it when posting. We all do, here) : Click to expand... Mmm, think mine must have got lost in the post, I’ve been wearing either my ED shirt, or the one that confirms my addiction: “ Instant human, just add coffee!” Since you seem to be convinced that Michael Brookes holds the secret of Raxxla, thought you should know there is a Compatriot Miguel Brooks who offers missions at Hayabusa Landing, Amatsubishi system in Colonia, though didn’t note what faction he’s with. Perhaps he got fed up experimenting with dinosaurs and escaped ot the new bubble, assuming a disguise

Because the name Raxxla is nowhere to be found (I checked my astronomy books and other sources, including the obscure "Star Names and Their Meanings" by R. Hinckley Allen; and the incredibly general: Google search) I can't help but notice how symmetric the word is and go on this strange crypto-tangent (other posts by me on this thread), so yeah, here's another piece based on the 'sator' or palindrome square. Door = key = X marks the spot. Since I'm new, I'm not as familiar with the lore, but I'm doing my best to read up and catch up on all the source material. Hence, the non-lore inquiries and exploration. Why two X's in Raxxla? Because it looks cool/alien? Very uncommon in natural language. When writers make up words, they more often than not base it on things they know. So the name itsel...

Ah ... but "naval gazing" is watching ships set out to sea whereas "navel gazing" is staring at your own bellybutton. Click to expand... Perhaps it's a clue, and we gotta find the "Galactic Navel"

Yes, which is frustrating. The fact that there is a permit locked system so close to Shinrarta, with zero population, seems to me to be suggestive, can’t imagine why FD would locate a dev test site there; so maybe there is a storyline explanation, wouldn’t surprise me if the DW missions were eventually going to provide a permit. Or how about that being the Guardian homeworld & Shinrarta is supposed to be one destination of their ark ships? [alien][alien][alien] Click to expand... HR 4413 has a regular permit that usually is obtainable from one of the factions in the system. With 0 pop. that does not happen. Most likely this is just a small error in the Stellar forge. On the other hand, the system is also called 'GL 3663'. This fits with the character combination needed to write Raxxla...

Hmmmmm We only know that we know nothing. Elite rank was a point when the E/F missions were running. As you say, only speculations. MB is no longer here and the E/F missions stopped. I am not sure there is still a journey to take. Every time I troll DJ on his Twitch about his famous expedition, he proves very evasive. I don't think he is still in the party. But it's just my humble opinion. Click to expand... Cheers for clarifying. I thought it likely someone here would have tried to extract as much information out of DJ as possible. I will calm down on grinding out the combat in that case and focus on heading out to my hunch location. *closest stars to Magnaletic clouds.* reachable in game? Who knows!

Just had a thought Raxxla is supposed to be older than the galaxy so are we looking for a system with a star older than the galaxy ?? what is the age of this galaxy ?

ok we dont know much, it is a quest without clues however, we know that one or two cmdrs have visited the system (past post somewhere) and they didnt notice much and moved on. Well if only 1 or 2 cmdrs have visited then it is an out of the way or obscure system. So if out of the way then could be any random system a long way from the bubble (outer rim of the galaxy?), in which case it would be a proc gen name as any hand woven system would stand out on the galmap. If it is in the bubble (near shinatra dezhra for example), then it would need to be pretty hidden or loads of cmdrs would have visited by now. In the original elite sometimes it ws difficult to get to a system that was really close to another on the galmap as the cursor would jump back to the unchosen one (maybe 0.1ly away)...

where is the outer rim? the edge of the galaxy or a region in the galaxy, the edge of the bubble? obfuscated in the outer rim, seems to be the only sure clue. obfuscated means hidden (cant see or a puzzle or a word game) but the place to look is the outer rim.

Do you really want to go hunting for something that may not exist (WOW was never repeated, may have just been a plane or satellite, or noise, or a hoax), & has nothing to do with Raxxla (1: it was RL, nothing to say it has been simulated in-game; 2: it’s not in Holdstock’s or FD sources).

I have been considering whether the quest text might contain a clue and have been pondering what "the place that is no place" might be.

The good news is, DWE2 is heading straight for SagA*, so there's going to be no shortage of people using the new surface probes in the area.

It's invisible to sensor, and you have to fly there from the nearest system, in supercruise. Should only take you two weeks... assuming you know where you're going. Come to think of it, a system that our sensor can't pick up and that doesn't show on the galaxy map would count as "a place that isn't a place"...

I doubt it's Sag A. I suspect it's quite a bit closer to the bubble. Just in the direction of Sag A.

Yep ! there are just like a million of gas giants with eight moons in the neighborough of the bubble... and that's just to find the base of The Real Dark Wheel ...

Raxxla is orbiting an Exotic Star.

Raxxla is orbiting an Exotic Star. Click to expand... Thats an interesting bit of info. What source did you get that from please ?

Any list of non-real world nebula / dark regions in game? Anyone seen nebula / dark regions not in galaxy map, but that do appear in sky box? If I had the choice I'd place Raxxla in plain site, you can plot a course but it wont appear on the map until its discovered, lore maybe literal - obscured within a small of very ethereal dark region / possibly disk / wheel or spoke shaped; would fit the codex logo.

I have to say Jorki, the first time you added Wanderers in, it made me think of football teams, which then made me think of Unseen Academicals. I do wonder if Raxxla will be octarine... Click to expand... I also like Unseen Academicals as a squadron name Any tribute to the late great Terry is fine by me! but I also like Jorki’s Terriers; for cat lovers, or anyone south of Derby, a Yorkshire Terrier is a small dog breed with a Bold, Tenacious, Independent, Intelligent, Confident & Courageous temperament. Though after more than six weeks of exploring my current hypothesis my Tenacious level is down around D D), but not quite ready to share fully...:x And sorry everyone, I’ve been grumpy this week because seven days ago I had a trapped nerve in my neck (sorted by osteopath) which p...

This had crossed my mind some time ago. The nebula is most likely the loop, 'the path everyone takes' refers I feel to reaching Elite - and the old wheel missions, 'Obfuscated In The Outer Rim' could literally be its near or hidden on the outer rim of the loop. Now that sector is very much totally mapped but there could be something hidden. Some tiny nebula don't show up in gal map until your on top of them. Anyhow I'm tooling around there right now so I've just discovered another reason to stay and take in the sights. Click to expand... I think Raxxla is going to be hidden somehow-maybe in a uss that only is detectable when you’re very close to it, so doesn’t matter how well the area is mapped. Even so I did get a couple of first discoveries this week. What I need is someone skilled...

Here is the other bit of evidence/reasoning I have on my hunt for Raxxla's location after my previous posts https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...-Find-Raxxla?p=7192717&viewfull=1#post7192717, https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...-Find-Raxxla?p=7215817&viewfull=1#post7215817: After unsuccessfully trying to search for it via the (deleted for a year) Elite SD Dark Wheel missions in conjunction with the meaning of SD (Life, she saw, hope) and searching for Hope, Gateway etc (reported here https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...-Find-Raxxla?p=7137584&viewfull=1#post7137584 ) I sat back and thought hard about the only other clues that we have- "it's in the Milky Way", "it's been in-game since the beta" and "it's just a little bit obvious". My conclusion was that it had to be portrayed in the s...

1) Raxxla Gateway ? I missed this one... 3) Isn't it described as a toroid, a donut, a low emissive and dark wheel-shaped station? Stella, strictly speaking, means star, not planet. Seems we'd better have a good understanding of the old English poetic language if we want to benefit from the "clues" FD provides... I wonder how all this is managed in other localizations of ED.. Anyway, interesting interpretation, Pa. Every line might have some signification. Like "somewhere up in the MW/Bubble" for the first line (Polaris ?). A "big hot star" for the fourth, and more..

You are probably right again. I have some new tinfoil brewing. I’ll post after release, to avoid spoilers on the codex stuff. Click to expand... At the risk of being pedantic, has anyone been to SYNUFE EN-H D11-28, EOL PROU PH-V D22 B 6, or EOL PROU DA-V D2-256? Or would those be too obvious places to go looking for anything new? (Or has the stuff being shown in the latest trailer at those locations already been found before this update?).

There might be an additional clue hidden in those names. Click to expand... About names and clues. Jason (Ryder) was about setting up an expedition to fly to the prize Raxxla. Jason set up an expedition to navigate to the prize Chrysomellon , the Golden Fleece. There is a Chrysus (gold) system in the GalMap. But in Colonia. Anyone there might want to take a look ?

I had a hunch today that 'The jewel that burns on the brow of the mother of galaxies' might be a reference to the constellation Corona Borealis. I checked Alphekka (as it is in the Galaxy Map) which is the brightest star, sometimes called Gemma. This system turned out to be empty with only the star (and two degraded ss with ordinary wrecks and low-grade data/mats). . There might be another way to read the Alleged Toast of the Dark Wheel, if it is providing directions to Raxxla. What if each part is meant to be a clue to a particular system and, once you know all the systems, they can be used to determine/triangulate the location of the system with Raxxla, be it through a clear pattern in their arrangement or a (unique solution) system that is equidistant to all of them? If so, any idea w...

The Opmhalos Rift is a central subject in the codex for Raxxla. An omphalos point is a nave point. The point that does not move, when something rotates. It's a fixed connection between Earth and the sky. A point on the Axis mundi. A typical scientific omphalos point, would be the North Pole and the Axis mundi would be connected to Polaris, on the other end. Deneb is a historic(and future) north star of Earth and the current North star of Mars. It's the only North star that lies in the Galactic plane. Denebs position is in the cleft, where the Great Rift starts. Denebs position at the start of the Great Rift is known i ancient cultures as the birth place of the Sun, between the thighs of Nut. The entrance to the underworld, where the rivers part. Or the point where the souls of the de...

Its the journey that enthrals not the destination. Click to expand... Regarding the final destination. What started me on the entire Cygnus path was the system Cygni X-3. It is by far the 'highest' system in ED, viewed from Earth. It's probably thousands of LY, from the closest reachable star. It consists of two black holes and a B0 variable(in ED). In RL it's a micro quasar. One of, if not the most radiant object in the Milky Way. I just thought i fit well with the black, radiant eyes of Stella, in the Poem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygnus_X-3

X-3, just like Tabby's Star and others, is an iconic candidate for Raxxla, burning in the brow of the MW. Could be 6 obfuscated "bridges" to reach it in the outer rim. Click to expand... Oh! And Barnard's Loop has the distinction of having its very own outer rim. Complete with a nice nebula that would make a nice place to hide, or *ahem* obfuscate, something.

Hmm, you weren't scanning the one in the Little Dumbell nebula were you? Those are technically just in Elysian Shore rather than inner Orion arm and seem to bugged. Click to expand... no, I’m still around col 285/385/etc looking for Raxxla...... gave up on that blob hunt when you identified it as Little Dumbell. Knew I’d seen it somewhere before! I looked in galmap at all the known RL nebulae from Dr Kaii’s list while checking out the startup image for clues.

The myth has it that the one Omphalos stone was placed at Delphi where the eagles met, in the middle. There is an Eagle Nebula, and an Aquila (Eagle) Dark Region. From what I have calculated, the spot that lies equidistant to them falls in an area between the arms where it's somewhat thinner on stars (The Omphalos Rift?). I'm heading out there now, got nothing better to do. Carry on, o7 Click to expand... Get that Cmdr a drink, possibly wrapped in tin-foil. What a great write up.

Well, I'm out at M17 SECTOR UJ-Z D16 where I estimate is halfway between the Aquila Dark Region and the Eagle Nebula. Now that I'm here... What am I looking for? lol I know it's all conjecture but I don't have anything good. Especially about what an Omphalos Rift should look like. Any good foil-covered ideas? edit- I guess more to say, should I be probin every body? Was there something about eight moons and ammonia I caught somewhere? I feel like the FSS by itself is gonna let me down maybe.

Contemplation based on "forbidden" book and in-game content: 1. Raxxla is a rogue planet, traveling from system to system (like mega-ships in the game) 2. It can be followed (founded) by tracing gravity anomalies (anomalies are in the game) 3. DW is providing future tech to all powers (engineers) 4. Raxxla is a portal to Witch Space (another dimensional plane where Thargoids are hanging around, hyperdiction) 5. There is a task in-game to identify all traits of anomalies that leads to some discovery (bugged for now) 6. Anomalies are guarded with Thargoid weapons (wake-holes to Witch Space) Sum, ergo cogito.

What are the current leads? From what I understand, mostly thanks to CMDR GURU, the strongest lead is in the Heart and Soul nebula. We've confirmed the parent's woe, and now must try to find the meaning of 'The Lover's Woe'. I don't know how to investigate Eagle Eye in Delphi, nor do I think the 'between two eagles' lead between eagle and aquila nebulae is valid. Seems like way too large an area to search, unless it's something exactly in between the two, maybe a couple of systems. Either way, I'm heading rimward. --- "On Cupid's bow how are my heartstrings bent, That see my wrack, and yet embrace the same?

I can remember FD said that they are surprised that we didnt find it yet. I mean if it is so "obvious" why cant Raxxla be near SOL? like 10-200 light years? maybe we are all looking in the wrong places and should check the "obvious" first?

I think that was it. Then i messed it up with Raxxla context. Im sorry. Well this will remain a mystery for much longer then. But imo FD did not hide it in some RNG System. I mean if its lore, it should be a System with some kind of name and history. Maybe a Star mentioned in ancient history. I still think that the Raxxla-is-in-the-bubble theory should be checked to 100% first, because hiding it in some random nebular just seems "too obvious" for me. Bubble is still obvious but not that much because people just dont expect it to be there

It's possible it's a station in bubble we've all been to many times, it's just named something else with unlocks necessary to "see" it for what it is.

I have observed that there has been a great deal of mapping going on since 3.3 came out, with most systems I pass through in the Bubble and even in between the Bubble and the Pleiades all having 'first mapped by' tags around even the most remote bodies. Yet we have not heard anything about discoveries related to The Dark Wheel or Raxxla (and not even any new Generation Ships, although I know someone found one in beta and then went there in live and discovered it). This absence of discovery suggest to me three possibilities: The Dark Wheel station and Raxxla are located in an out-of-the way place that has not yet been visited in 3.3. The Dark Wheel station and Raxxla are in a system that is not accessible. The Dark Wheel station and Raxxla are easy to overlook and have been missed by any...

Please give us some time to properly and clearly clarify our interpretation of the riddle up to this point. Our interpretation's Not to be mistaken with Anything related to the Formadine Rift mystery or CMDR Stoyben's puzzle. Those are separate puzzles and mysteries and have no place or reference in the Codex Riddle which we are here to solve. Also worth mentioning is that our discoveries are Not based on RP, but are an actual analysis of the clues thus far and any attempts to solve it or discoveries made are believed to hold the potential to influence the state of things in the galaxy and the potential to influence the outcome of our efforts upon the apparent political scheme of it all. At this stage we can say this, we are under the impression that Raxxla is discoverable but inaccessible...

You've all done phenomenal work trying to sort out a lead from the Codex offering. Now I will give you my Bazooka Joe wrapper analysis: On Gal map, center on Sol Tilt map south/down as far as possible and zoom into Sol. Slowly zoom out The labelled major systems begin to appear as the minor system names disappear. Take the last letter of the spiral of stars, the R from Castor, the A from Capella , the X from Pollux, the L from Sol, and lastly the A from Vega. Notice there's an X missing. X marks the spot... Of something. Happy New Year!

After a failed thread search, I thought I would throw in that Boötes Void is the deepest void, as far as microwave background is concerned. I don't see Boötes Constellation, or a siren where it's supposed to be, but I'm still trying to convert RA/Dec to GalMap coords.

I'm almost at the Heart and Soul nebula. You know "lovers woe = heart" "parent's grief = soul". Well, "vagabond hearts" would just be the wanderer, without a home, explorer. So I think the riddle litterly says "go explore the heart and soul nebula". That's what I'm doing. To Raxxla! Addition to post: From the nebula's perspective, there is a 'jewel on the brow' visible. The Bubble Nebula is litterly a jewel shaped object on the 'brow' of the galaxy. That could be of interest too.

"...Siren of the deepest void" https://www.edsm.net/en/system/id/2134225/name/Phae+Aeb+BK-I+d9-22 This place is labeled as "The Alluring Siren". Thoughts?

So, here's a very interesting tidbit I found on Reddit from about two years ago: "Joint-Tester: My dad got allied with the children of raxxla and they gave him a passenger mission to a system just between the heart and soul in eafots. The passenger said it was the raxxla staging point he was taking him too." https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDange...xla_in_the_game_and_accessible_by_the/das73qz Exact midpoint in the galmap for H&S is -5208 | 117 | -5394, +/- a unit on the x & z axes. Closest system is EAFOTS XQ-K B36-0. Anyone heading out to H&S might want to take a look there first.

I think it's Capitol, in Achenar system.

Right. I think it's in the bubble as well. I mean, it was in the past, so why not? At least the gateway to it was. Lave system...if I remember correctly. It's location is probably pretty obvious, too. Maybe the key is figuring out the Polaris permit ordeal, or maybe it's even simpler. The Sol system, Shinrarta, maybe even Sirius... but like the Lave system maybe it involves flying around the system a certain amount of times, in a certain direction and jumping to a specific destination within specific amount of jumps to unlock the gateway to Raxxla. But what if someone finds it? That would mean another alien race contact. Other than Thargoids. Raxxlans are a warrior race. If you find Raxxla, you have to prove yourself in combat. That's how Raxxlans are. So there's finding the gateway to it....

Having such network of gateways would indeed mean something for developing humanity out of the bubble. With one of those gateways being somewhere inside the bubble. Click to expand... That's exactly what Oolite's Raxxla is. Iirc.

Jorki means the opening video rather than the menu screen. The menu screen doesn't have anywhere near enough in it to pin down. The video, however, has Barnards Loop and Witchhead Nebula. The star we've been looking for is the yellow one in between the horns on the elite logo. Click to expand... Could the star between the horns be Shinrarta Dezhra? I'am not saying it is but it would make sense wrt. becoming elite etc. It might also be easier to confirm this (and rule out that is Raxxla related) than finding the start based on the into video.

Random thoughts and ideas of GURU-951- According to the codex the first mention of Raxxla was in 2296. That's just sixteen years after the Non-Human relic was found on Mars. It was no bigger than a child's hand. No other info has ever been given about it besides the date and the size. The omphalos was a stone. Slightly bigger than a child's hand, but a stone nonetheless. Most accounts locate the Delphi omphalos in the adyton (sacred part of the temple) near the Pythia (oracle). Omphalos is also the name of the stone given to Cronus. There is one landable body that The Oracle station orbits in delphi, but no stations, outposts, or otherwise on the landable. The Almagest system is controlled by Sirius. It is one of the closest fully functional systems to Polaris. In fact, Sirius cont...

Don’t think so for two reasons: a) SD has been searched and mapped to death, but no sign of Raxxla b) from the start video you can check the aspect angles of Rigel, Witchhead, LMC and Barnard’s Loop.

Rare produces better from what I've seen. Might be the easiest way to find it. And I have yet to get a hyper pull yet. I'm near aries going toward bernard. That is where all the thargoid non human stuff is so far. Tones near maia. BTW, any chance looking through a black hole to something like nebulas might give away secrets. I notced stuff in the system shows up normally through the lense. And stuff outside the galaxy like other galaxies is...

https://Please use another image host/oT383xsI see there is a few mentions of the Cat's Eye Nebula as a clue in this thread. I'm currently at BD+66 1066 which is the closest star system to the nebula and contains an O class star and a black hole. I happened to notice this blue object in the deep black of empty space which I've never seen before (seen here: https://Please use another image host/oT383xs). It looks too blue to be a star, so I thought it might have been a planetary nebula. I can't find anything like it on the galaxy map though. The only thing I did manage to find at all in that general direction was the star HIP 88036 which is almost 150 LY away.

and my favorite, the hypothetical Venus moon Neith: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neith_(hypothetical_moon) This one would be fun as a basis for Raxxla, as it was observed by a dosen top astronomers between 1645 and 1768 and was never seen after that. There are also a few bits of orbital and size information, that makes searching possible(if it didn't jump, that is). Click to expand... That's nice, could it be one of those temporary moons that planets capture time to time? Also as far as we know there are Reptillians living on the Raxxla (or is this not canon too?). If this is their origin and home planet, it should have got a stable orbit and star, the system should not be too close to the center of the galaxy, maybe not close to any nebula too.

Click to expand... Raxxla is in the Milky Way. This was confirmed during DJTruthsayer's lore interview with Michael Brookes. Author Drew Wagar said "My own personal theory is that it can't be too far from Sol as it was reachable long ago by more primitive ships. Whether this proves true... I guess we'll find out."

Tau Ceti, iirc, was the first world to be colonized by humans. And the Raxxla myth is very old. So... an interesting system, imho.

Because it's *obfuscated in the outer rim. *keyword

Raxxla is a certain celestial body, The Myth, but also a place that isn't a place. A scientist may assume it's kind of a Black Hole... (As many players already stated and investigated) But any Buddhist here to really enlighten us ? (About BH, we can fly into them and be low waked. Maybe a small planet is obfuscated there. Undetectable untill you enter the exclusion zone, because of the Event Horizon thing. Raxxla would be obfuscated beyond the EH ! A device, construct, that exploits the BH to manage a stable wormhole.) 'Hey Mike, where are we going to hide Raxxla ? It must be undetectable!' 'Mmmh, that's true, Dave. In the MW but... what about inside a BH ?' Spoiler Herr P.-D. , note the Berenice's curls. Also, would there be a clue by understanding the odd difference (inside ...

The skybox is generated when you enter the system, so it never changes. However, the relative position of nearby stars *is* determined based upon your current position. I remember I once went 1 Mls+ away from Merope to look for a Voyager-like POI and I noticed that the skybox was no longer exactly in sync with the star I had targeted for my next jump! . I've done some looking for TDW station near Alliance space, on the basis that it seems to be orbiting the eighth moon of a gas giant in a very close orbit of a red-looking star, that might be K, M or a T Tauri. In fact, I suspected it might be a T Tauri, since these might be, like the L, T and Y dwarfs, considered 'dark' systems (I think Drew Wagar made the comment about brown dwarfs once in regard to finding Octavia's asteroid base from ...

I was looking at something similar. Note this does not have the same backing as the other stations. Not the same as the raxxla image but closer. It has 4 partial circumferences and a line instead of 3 and a dot... Do we have to find the image matching the Raxxla picture in the codex? And which station had all of those plants in the shapes of stuff? And what number is assigned to this station. I had to leave before the timer. It might be on the legs. Maybe the station number helps find it. Like translating raxxla into numbers or something and some of the numbers are the station number... Raxxla = 1812424121. Maybe it's coordinates: 181242(AHA BDB, AH-1 BD-2?) station: 4121 Spoiler https://i.Please use another image host/TM9mNWY.jpghttps://i.Please use another image host/zvTZUOI.jpg An...

The Horizon's main menu image looks like a composite. If it was a real place the moons would need to be practically on top of each other or have a massive radius (Which is precluded by the massive ridges). The station in the images does admittedly look like an orbis gone dark. Alexium67's idea of try to match the galactic plane seem like the more promising option. I There is a system near Sol, CM Draconis, that has a special system description, a white star, but no planets. The system description mentions it being populated ( albeit a low population anarchy with an economy) so that seems kinda strange.

I can't/won't read 368 pages of speculation, but surely the only way right now is to brute force systems with a Gas Giant with 8+ moons. I would also start at Sol and head in the direction of the Pleiades. I imagine, if TDW coriolis is in game, it will appear as a USS when loitering long enough around the right moon. Or a string of missions, given via unidentified message sources when in the right place. But unless you find any relevance in the Astrophel and Stella stuff, brute force is the only way. Also, as I have been away from the game for some time, did anyone find any info on the projected starmap from the Thargoid structures? Or are we going with "not in our galaxy"?

OP updated with Codex Raxxla info. DW Codex looks interesting too, might add it later. I've located 44 systems that has an A- or O class star and an Orbis Starport: Spoiler 12 d Bootis 16 Lyrae 17 Draconis 18 Lambda Piscium 19 Leonis Minoris 3 Corvi 38 Lyncis 40 Leonis Minoris 47 Ceti 51 Aquilae 7 Pi-1 Orionis 72 Ophiuchi Aditi Algorab Alioth Altair Beta Circini Beta Octantis Chih Zhi Epsilon Serpentis Eta Horologii Fomalhaut Fulastobo H Puppis He Bo HIP 14619 HIP 88726 HR 4062 Inti Megrez Nu-1 Columbae Omega-1 Aquarii Osira Phekda Prism Randgnid (Colonia) Talitha Tau Centauri Theta Indi Thunderbird Tvasta Vega Wenda Xi-2 Lupi Task now seems more doable, at least these systems can be ruled out for being the origin for the Horizon Main menu b...

So, having made the assumption that The Dark Wheel and Raxxla are directly connected, I'm setting off from Sol to Delphi, via economic travel, in search of Gas Giants with 8+ moons. Once at Delphi I will search the Pleiades also for TDW. I will bookmark all systems I come across with Gas Giants with 8+ moons.

Circe? Good system with the 8th moon around gas giant near (~500ly) the red K class star (unfort. not a giant one). And this is not arrival star So I think this system will experiencing some traffic ;D

I still think there is something to be said for Lyras Song, when you look at the image for Raxxla on the codex it's a question mark over the galaxy map, there are a number of bright systems shown and the borders of two neighboring regions. Now is it just me or does the most prominent area of those two connecting borders match up with the Lyras Song region? Posting from mobile at work so I can't include the image, I'll be looking at this more tonight

If gravity is the mother, may it be visible? How? By a superclusters? Where are this things placed on the our sky? On the our game sky? I hope you can understand what I want to say. Click to expand... there’s a supercluster as one of the sights to see on the DW2 expedition, near Owen Mining base. Around PW2010 210 sort of area. not fully convinced by the “English language thing” and “mother of galaxies”, and I’m an Englishman. You might say that black holes in general might be mothers of galaxies if they are actually white holes and generate said multiple galaxies. I tend to be a bit pedantic and would say either galactic mother for one galaxy, or mother of galaxies if she had produced one or more. hence I would suggest the mythology clue might need to be re-examined. If I remember co...

Are these three weekly tip off missions, by chance, different each time? Are they all related to strange corporate matters? There used to be very few such planetary settlements which would yield information by scanning data points, Rawat Depot could have been the only one. Click to expand... Yes, they are - different places and different messages (except one, which was a duplicate message, but different place), all related to strange corporate matters... regarding embezzlement, blackmailing etc. Scanning the data cores gave me 1m to 1.6m credits each.

*tinfoil* if CMDR Staticwhatsoever did actually find something Jambe might be the next system of interest. She was the person who made Demeter laugh again. Though I think correct spelling would be „Iambe“. *tinfoil off* . Click to expand... Note that Iambe is associated in that story with the goddess of mirth, "Baubo". If memory serves, she is where the term "bawdy" comes from, as she was associated with "dirty jokes" which were usually sexual in nature. Depictions of Baubo were sometimes of a woman holding her legs apart; this is recognisable as a form which appears in many Irish churches, and is known as a Sheelagh-na-Gig. There is a system called Sheelagh-na-gig. I need some more tinfoil and some sleep to develop that idea further

It was a couple of months ago (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...-Find-Raxxla?p=7137768&viewfull=1#post7137768) but since I'm out of leads (and tired of mission-running) I'm going to head out to the Jewel Box cluster to look for, well, anything. The hint from Cynthia Sideris's name could also apply to other places but I just want to get away from the Bubble for a few days.

When did the cora and art tornqvist live in elite dangerous timeline? I can't find the references to them. Maybe raxxla has to do with gen ships and early space travel. all within 100 ly or sol. I think I'll visit all such places for fun. It's a bit of a coincidence we are looking for teraformable worlds. https://elite-dangerous.fandom.com/wiki/Generation_Ships And here is something that fits gurus stuff. https://elite-dangerous.fandom.com/wiki/Thargoid_Link Tthis is a path starting at delphi. Follow the containers to new thargoid sites.

Yeah that one in billions chance is what keeps me exploring and playing the game, honestly. I think the only way Raxxla wouldn’t be a letdown is if it ends up being the first landable earth-like world. Then once landed, you could get out of your ship and explore it on foot with your space legs. After fighting off waves of evil reptilian humanoids, because now the game suddenly turns into a flawless FPS, you finally discover a portal. You walk through it and find yourself on another planet in an entirely different galaxy full of new alien races to discover, ships to purchase, and adventures to get in to. Is that really too much to ask? Click to expand... Except you’d be stranded on an alien planet, your ship left behind, your credit balance in a different universe, and no PF to loan...

Can’t permit lock something you don’t know where is. Click to expand... Good point. Then it might be in an unlisted system. Remember this scene in Star Wars that Obi Wan couldn't find the system where they built clones in the star map. You can only find it if you know where it is.

The rumor of Raxxla's honked status is old and has never been confirmed. Not that it's even important at this stage. We can not assume that Raxxla can be found by regular exploring(scanning). It's possible that it can be found that way but, Raxxla could well be in a highly trafficked system. We have no idea of the level of obfuscation. The same goes for permit locks. We can not assume either way. All we know is that some at FD know how to get there(Raxxla). If it's locked, there should be a way to obtain the permit or to bypass it. Click to expand... Exactly. However, I don't even think we're safe to assume that Raxxla is currently accessible through in-game mechanisms. It could, for example, include permit locks which there aren't currently ways to obtain, and which require FD action...

You still remember those days being harmless, in that loan-sidewinder? Tanya would ask you to haul some cargo from Romanek's Folly, likely to see if you can jump into witchspace without passing out, I guess she had some other reasons too. You were instructed to choose the arrival system from contacts panel and go there, but, however you could check galaxy map also. And that map looked almost as if it was pointing somewhere, like a treasure map. Not the kind of galaxy map that opens up from where you are. Now it probably means nothing, and you shouldn't take it too seriously, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to scan a few systems, since many of you are exploring around there these days anyway.

Quick question. I’m at work at the moment myself so I can’t check but Delphi seems connected somehow, and since the story goes that a stone was placed in the very center of the world and found to be Delphi, the Delphi system seems to have bit one landable planet. Has anyone gone and landed at 0/0 coordinance to see if there’s anything there? Click to expand... This could quickly be proven or debunked if someone is in the area, I am nowhere near unfortunately

Took myself a look see. Got excited for a second because there is a large, unusually square, stone pretty much right on 0/0. Unfortunalty I forgot my vehicle hanger lol. But using the orbital camera there doesn’t seem to be anything special about it other than being quite square and on 0/0 Click to expand... Sounds like it could be Omphalos Stone?

Sounds like it could be Omphalos Stone? Click to expand... That’s what I was hoping on the way down there when it came into view. Unfortunalty I forgot my vehicle hanger so I couldn’t check it out on the ground really. But although it’s large, unusually square, and pretty well smack on 0/0 using the orbital camera there didn’t appear to be anything inscribed on it etc. and there was not something to lock on to, at least from the ship. So I figure it’s either a coincidence of the PG system, or a kind of Easter egg out there by a dev as a chuckle. I might go back with an SRV and have a look again but it didn’t look like something we could interact with.

You mean the outer rim of Sol system ? Click to expand... Well, I still think a very plausible location would be that hypothesized sphere of asteroids (Oort cloud), including a body called nemesis (hypothesized in 1984), since that R has been mentioned around the time probes are sent to the closest stars.

Oort's cloud? Click to expand... You mean the outer rim of Sol system ? So Tau Ceti was the first system to be colonized. In Tau Ceti was born the Raxxla myth. Central circle of Raxxla symbol is like the Sol symbol. What about exploring the Oort's cloud (The Myth is known to be obfuscated in the outer rim..) in a straight line Sol - Tau Ceti ? Anyone tried ?

The Odysseus ship definitely has the 6 bars and 3 outer lines in the raxxla image. One of the bars is behind the center pylon. It has the same 3 partial circles like in the system map reticule... I think this is a fairly good match for the raxxla image. and Odysseus fits the greek names and stuff. The middle bigger circles are cut in 6. The outer ones in 3. Both with the 3 partial circles. And manh parts of it look like the circle with a dot. The whole front does. Where is this ship supposed to going. And do other gen ships look like this? Edit: If you turn off flight assist near the odysseus you start to get pulled towared the middle of the planets. I think it has a gravity well. I can't get to the front of the ship to take a pic directly at the nose because of this. That or they have a...

Can you post better pictures of it as an imgur album if you're near the site? From different angles like, front, back, from any side etc. Click to expand... Imgur Album. Image 1 shows how close the two planets (Ross 859 B 1,2) are to each other and to the star. The ship orbits planet 1, and in theory it would be possible to get planet 2 between the ship and the star, similar to the Dark Wheel shot, but unfortunately the ship's engines seem to always point towards planet 1, and it's impossible to get just the engine section and planet 2 pointing at the star, without the close surface of planet 1 showing. The ship is within the orbital flight radius of planet 1 (orbital flight UI activates). Best way to take screenshots is to set your ship horizontal to the surface of planet 1 (hover mo...

Yeah the way they managed to pinpoint the signal source made my head hurt trying to understand. Also late time I activated the map room I noticed that the map would drift slowly out the room not sure if it was a bug or not, but to get back on topic I'm not entirely convinced that this is the same route to Raxxla. Do we have any concrete evidence that Thargoids and Raxxla are even connected in a small way? Click to expand... We don't have any evidence that they are connected. The map has a specific purpose and it's not to find Raxxla. The spiraling stars in the 'map room' are interesting though. If anything in the thargoid realm is Raxxla related, I would guess Merope 5C is most likely. It's an unremarkable moon at the center(omphalos) of everything. The only thing interesting about ...

For the record though, the Andromeda constellation is so large that it reaches to the furthest point on the edge of the galaxy in the direction of the Andromeda galaxy itself.

Raxxla The idea that Raxxla is an alien construct wouldnt surprise me if it turns out to be true. What is interesting though is the fact that not a single one of us has found Raxxla. Its the 34th century and somehow with all the modern tech we havent found it yet... But somehow circa 23 century raxxla was found. You have to ask yourself why that is. Could that be because everyone is so quick to leave the bubble? Everything moves so fast now and noone slows down anymore. When is the last time you've spent some serious time scouring planet surfaces in Sol? I am willing to bet almost every single one of us has spent more time searching for barnacles than we've spent in sol.

If you search for Beor, you will be led to CD-64 139, so it might be ingame, too. Thirty of the systems build kind of a cluster - two are more off the path: Ra and Beor.

You normally will be immediately attacked by pirates, if you enter the site. Click to expand... Beor returns that system because there is a planet in that system called Beorg (the Galmap search returns some planet names as well as system names and stations - searching for the system Ara was a nightmare!).

Okay another post which also coincides with a feeling that I had too: That Raxxla is located in Polaris. The System is Permit locked so we can't just get inside, but there may be a way to obtain the Permit womehow and we've not uncovered that yet. Dunno if this has been discussed in the thread before. I noticed that when jumping to a nearby system you can indeed select and target it, just engaging the FSD gets denied.

In a "galaxy-centric" point of view: Omphalos is the "center", then Sgr A*. Black holes like the stars. They swallow them. So, Astrophel. (Yum !) All the stars are spiralling around. It's also some kind of rift through the space-time tissue. It also can be viewed as the brow of the MW. Raxxla burns as it orbits close Sgr A*. (Some physical phenomenon due to the BH "moving" the space-time and therefore giving energy to the bodies orbiting close to it.) Why can we approach BHs without danger, in ED ? Because we must be able to find Raxxla eventually. 'Where are we placing Raxxla, Mike ?' ' Mmmh... Must be somewhere iconic. What about inside a BH, Dave ?' "Sgr A*, then ! " "Where is Raxxla ?" "Oh, it's IN the MW." You bet it is... [haha]

What will be if we change Galactic coordinates 0-point to Delphi system? Sol will have inverted Delphi coordinates. But what about other systems?

Did a quick check of the Amicus system. Amicus is Latin for 'a friend', like our benefactor in the welcome letter. I didn't find any dark stations or similar, but the search was a bit superficial.

Well hello... thats interesting.

Just a thought that came into my mind: Were we supposed to be able to find Raxxla from the very beginning of the game? Because If that is the case, anything that got added later immediatly get's crossed out. Meaning no Guardian relics are required to find it, not the new scanners, not anything that can be found on planetary surfaces as back then we couldn't land on them yet. That also includes all stations, ships, signal sources, commodities and mission types that got added to the game later.

Ive been looking into this matter, and among all the "theories" and "speculation", it seens to me that some elements in this game totally relate to some of the accounts and things i read about this mitical place. So i expect some things about this: 1- Its not reachable or can be seen all the time, probrably only at a certain time, with certain conditions u can actually see it and get to it, wich makes perfect sense. 2- It is either close to the bubble or in the bubble itself, or it is a "rogue", wandering about the galaxy, ence only is at the place ud expect in a certain time frame. 3- There will be a huge puzzle to be able to do any interaction with it. 4- It may well be that all ull find is a huge ruin with some kinda portal or such that cant be activated, and once found will take m...

If anyone is interested to join, I’m gonna intensify my search for TDW system within 100ly of Sol. It’s a lot of systems to cover by me onsies but I have, what I think, is good reason to do so.

MB said in an interview with truthsayer that before this they were using ion drives etc to move about, so travel was quite limited distance wise from sol. Furthermore, it struck me that the empire, back in the 2400’s moved to Achenar (140ly from sol) in an attempt to get away from the federation, figuring that would be more than far enough. So this gives us two things. A distance that at that time was considered to be quite far from the then bubble AND since they moved that also gives us abandoned star por...

Can anyone confirm that this is in-game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LL_Pegasi EDDB doesn't find LL Pegasi (but several Pegasi systems), nor 2MASS J23191260+1711331. According to the article it should be ~4200 ly from Sol.
