Yes, Attilius Orbital has vast fields of palm trees, a wonderful thing to see, but it is also a very remote and rough area. A kind of untamed wilderness left untouched by modern era. Great natural beauty and empty pizza boxes. I would think twice before staying there for a night though, native CD-43 11917 legends speak of strange hairy monsters living in there, wild men, sasquatch like. I'm sure they are only stories told to scare off young people though... Great shipyard and outfitting selection.
The Quest To Find Raxxla
- Thread starter Macros Black
- Start date
Hutton Orbital of course!
Just listing current clues and things fast:
1. Whispers in witchspace symbol, which needs clearing up. (this one is the most important to me bc it could be a literal ingame clue which is huge)
(edit: is there any chance it may need a cipher to show up proper as seen with other mysteries in the game?)
2. An anaconda somewhere with clues. (maybe hidden somewhere in a cluster or in-system like the voyager probes.
3. What significance would a lighthouse have, i know "Jackson's Lighthouse" is in the game.
(may be nothing, just remembered it)
4. "The signal". Is it a constellation / galactic region the "silhouette" is showing?
5. "Jewel on the brow", maybe a star in a constellation.
Statements: "It is in the game and we know where.", "Ayone can find it.", "It is not random.", "More clues and it would be a spoiler."
-that last bit is interesting, because what clues were in the game before we had the ingame CODEX entry on raxxla?
_
Addendum: i am in the process of unlocking permits in the bubble and there are areas where the "old" signal sources are still active.
("debris field" etc)
Some signals still needs you to be really close to a planet to see them, almost in orbit. (megameter)
It stands to reason that we don't "need" the FSS as it is a newer invention.
Did i miss anything?

These do not relate to Raxxla.
It is interesting. Mostly because this idea could actually work.
As a lore element it's fully plausible that Rafe's Anaconda is still out there. It was in pretty bad shape and might not have been able to move. Rafe him self wasn't in the best shape either. He may have just died out there.
The Zurara supposedly had text logs at release. These were later updated to voice logs. In the hypothetical case of Rafe's Conda, I would expect something similar. Probably logs that were intended to help Alex get in contact with the Dark Wheel. Hopefully they could help us do the same.
The location is defined as 0.1 ly from Tionisla. This is repeated several times in the book. The vector from Tionisla is not defined.
This is the sequence when they line up for the jump:
"Alex laughed and said, ‘Repeat after me: Lady of Fate, we adore you… ‘
'Get us to Rafe’s, we implore you…’
The monuments and monoliths drifted by. The star field widened ahead of them.
‘Nearly there,’ Elyssia breathed. ‘Get ready for the jump…’"
There is a chance that there is a specific star that we have to aim for. This could be the Jewel, Sol, Shinrarta Dezhra, Lave or something hinted in the book. We just have to pick one and go. It's at least something to actually search for.

A reference to lady Fortuna. A possible link to Trinkets of hidden fortune?
I heard tell in this thread that there may have been something about this deity that Brookes had worked on. I think via Strouds recollection, but that it was likely dropped?
We know via FD the Trinkets were linked to the ‘removed’ DW story. I believe they had some unknown purpose, but it’s an unknown if this is still functional.
Again there is the similarity to the burial pod of Hammer in Legacy and of Brookes in the tour…
It’s evident Brookes was referring back to this text, some aspect of this deity of Fortuna (wheel of fate) and used cargo pods somehow.
The tour would seem to place emphasis upon the system Artemis; is there something there to find? A crashed pod maybe or some POI in a roid cluster?

Randomius Factoria, they call her.
It's an interesting idea to search for Rafe's conda, though I'm sceptical that it would lead anywhere- IIRC Rafe wasn't a member of TDW and didn't have any clues to the location of Raxxla.It is interesting. Mostly because this idea could actually work.

I was thinking he might have clues on how to get in touch with TDW. He was an ex-member and seemed confident that he could get Alex in.
Adding this to the thread only because it may contextualize Brookes work on Raxxla. This is from his website and discusses his tattoo, "The Space Inbetween":
Source: http://thecultofme.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-space-inbetween-preview.html
Upper left corner of the image of the tattoo - can anyone identify this symbol?
I leave this video here. Not only its very intriguing, or the puzzle methods has been used in this game before (Not even mentioning "3301"), but also the last words and the idea of the video matches most of this forum pages visitors. Most people here DONT want to find Raxxla. What would we do with out Raxxla? How would people fall asleep peacefully, if it was taken away? What would fill the void, if it would ever been found? Raxxla is the embodiment of a silent box, where we can throw all our silly goose chases, tinfoil madness and never ending theories to satisfy our need to get away from our selves, and give our mind a piece of juice to run it so silence does not devour us.
To be honest confirmation of anything hidden in this way still being in the game would put some good wind into my raxxla sails
Confirmation, then.To be honest confirmation of anything hidden in this way still being in the game would put some good wind into my raxxla sails
The art from Brookes tattoo is very eerily similar to the William Blake imagery from Cicada 3301. Also, I would urge everyone to read Liber Primus and see if you don't see similarities. Cicadas are a symbol of rebirth. Additionally, Elite Dangerous didn't really get started until January 1st, 3301. Perhaps that wasn't chance and perhaps Elite Dangerous had an ARG during the Kickstarter and promotional era.

Yes.
In addition, Rafe would contact Alex via some sort of holographic display. For example, when he was on the orbit-hospital around thee earth-like at Leesti.
This makes me think that that Rafe knew how to make communication systems and that he likely could have left behind a game workable log or interface system.
The origin point to Rafe's Conda was the Tionisla Graveyard which FDev oddly did not put into the game after saying they were going to? At any rate, the Graveyard was between the Sun and the first planet (which is an earth-like) >>" the cemetery is always between the planet and it's star". Also the text reads: "The best way to see the wreckage at Tionisla is to approach it from the Sun." This makes me think the Graveyard was between the sun and the planet, yes, but, likely closer to the sun. There is an astroid belt just 2.1 Ls from the Sun so the graveyard may have been there.
The jump of 0.1 Ly is the same as a SC for 3,155,760 Ls. Far but not to bad.
Rafe himself must have known he had to make his own hide-away home findable in the vastness of space for himself also. So, I would think he would have set up the vector to it in a manner that it was pointing to an identifiable visual or ship setting. When he would be going to his own home he would have jumped to Tionisla. Then he would have aimed for something. While I was out walking my Norfolk Terrier the other day I was thinking the same thing to - maybe a certain star system. It's interesting that the text reads: "the stars in this galaxy are markers" referring to the ship wrecks be as it may.
Interesting because, Fortuna is a star system in the game....
Cicada's first post, mentioning that they are looking for highly intelligent individuals is kind of a resemblence to being an elite, or the guys dark wheel is trying to contact. I will read the Liber primus, but afaik it has not been dechipered completely. And cant wrap my head around why those guys named their selves 3301?The art from Brookes tattoo is very eerily similar to the William Blake imagery from Cicada 3301. Also, I would urge everyone to read Liber Primus and see if you don't see similarities. Cicadas are a symbol of rebirth.
