No, I don't really think that. But who knows ... ? I leave further stumblings to you ... :)

(However, if you could connect some part of the Toast to any of these constellations, I might change my mind...)
It's possible its explaining the entire guardian region as a jewel / treasure trove. The parent grief being their home world being destroyed. And the lovers woe being their civilwar and how tragic it ended and now their legacy is left over machines without a purpose. And an AI that yearns to communicate with someone other than itself. Maybe Raxxla is the journey / roadmap to the AI and communicate with it finally. It is possible those stars bookmarked and followed is like a highway we need to travel to whatever it leads to.

Advertising any behaviour of supposed hoarding of data or negative competitiveness only really introduces doubt in my opinion.

This is a very open and friendly forum, I would advocate transparency otherwise we run the risk of inflating any negative opinions on research.

Personally, it ultimately depends on how the objective reveals itself. If there is physical validity I’d first seek FD feedback on the subject, and look towards working with them on some narrative reveal if applicable, although doubtful. Failing that I’d not be too fond of ruining the journey for others, so I’d probably look to establish either some visual evidence or corroboration from other players, then look towards safely sharing that with everyone.

Personally I’d hope it would make us aware of other aspects, or backfill existing theories, so from that I’d think about documenting and validating that journey, so others could understand it and in their own interpretation follow it…

Eventually someone will just reveal it, but until then I’d simply want to point the way and try to champion the work that went into building it but without being overt.

Of course someone finding it arbitrarily doesn’t ruin the objective, because we know the author certainly would have had an established path, so uncovering and championing that and then understand it contextually would become an alternative objective, it could also uncover other mysteries as well!
Like a screenshot of the station with its name displayed, but with any other location information hidden?
 
I keep trying to read any notice at the entrance to the station shown on the start screen....😎
Well the station Hanger is just a noisey skybox with the hanger in it based off your location. The station in the video sequence is beagle 2 landing. The station before that in legacy horizons was Bliss but put in a weird random low orbit for production purposes and an srv driving towards it. And my forum icon was a glitch where the hangers inside Jameson's Memorial vanished cause a troll/hacker was messing with the server.

Hold your hat.

XX would be R-Z (9) + RR-RZ (9) + SS-SZ (8) + TT-TZ (7) + UU-UZ (6) + VV-VZ (5) + WW-WZ (4) + XX (1) = 49th (?) variable found by visual means in a constellation, so you need a constellation that is big, or contains core parts of the Milky Way where there are lots of variables (or both).

In real life, without trying hard, I find XX Camelopardalis, XX Cancri, XX Canum Venaticorum (constellation misspelled by E.D.?), XX Cygni, XX Persei, XX Pyxidis, XX Scuti, XX Tauri, XX Trianguli, XX Velorum(!) and there should be one XX Sagittari as well. In Galmap I find none of them under those ids.

Yes, XX Velorum is in that list.

XX Vel = HIP 51894, which is in Galmap . (HIP nr according to simbad https://simbad.cds.unistra.fr/simbad/sim-basic?Ident=XX+Velorum&submit=SIMBAD+search , list of identifiers)

(Added: XX Cen, XX CMa)
This is what those stars look like from guardian space.

My copy paste was still holding on a different system. I was in the LAWD 26 system before I died. I think it was Stone's legacy I was looking at.
Just dropped into LAWD 26 > Stone's Legacy whilst I was cruising past. Nothing unusual and could dock without any threats / violence.

My good friend Minister Charlotte Reynolds from TDW faction offered me the usual run of the mill missions.
 
Just to throw this out there (I don't know if it's been asked before and I'm not wading through 1837 pages to see), but there seems to be an awful lot of supposition based on the latest release of the game.
Even if Raxxla only physically appeared in Elite Dangerous, as opposed to just being alluded to prior to that, it would mean Raxxla has been sitting there undiscovered for a decade now, so why would they change the parameters for locating it for the latest version?
Assuming it is real in game terms, how would it affect game play if it was discovered in Horizons first?
Presumably and hopefully as a Stargate to other regions or restricted sectors, if not an entirely other galaxy.
 
What would they look like from Sol? And how far from Sol are those stars?
I can give that info when I get home from work.

Edit: - The first star in the highway row is almost in the bubble itself. You follow them in this order R Velorum - X Velorum - L Velorum - A Velorum - A Velorum with HIP 51894. There is B Velorum in the begining of the tail end of the mix too but that is a big amount of distance between all the stars followed by CD-58 3526 and lastly 2MASS J10444160-5947046 the path ends at Eta Carina Nebula which is too far away for rendering. I am not in the bubble anymore so I cannot give accurate numbers from sol the stars are.


Edit: my focus has been on the R Velorum - X Velorum - L Velorum - A Velorum - A Velorum - HIP 51894 stars.

It's possible its a station inside a tiny moon that can jump like Jaques station. But something like this one has a schedule like a megaship. We at one point in the game had a megaship/station that was in game that was built around an astroid and took it with it. Funny enough that ship has been MIA for a long time.
 
Has anyone visited the "other" real world omphalos, At the isle of dogs. The mythical birthplace of the British empire, conjured into being with a blood sacrifice, performed by John Dee, on behalf of Queen Elizibeth I who (so the myth says) was present.

"Stubborn rumor has it that the conjuring was done on the Isle of Dogs, just north of the Thames in the east of London. The exact spot is allegedly marked by a mysterious stone circle, tucked away near an elder grove in the northwest corner of Mudchute Park"
now this place is rumoured to sit on lay lines, which intersect with many buildings and areas of significance with London, and indeed beyond. This part made me dust of the bacofoil...

"Literally. The stone circle sits on a line that connects a great number of locations with special significance. According to some, that makes it the omphalos, Greek for “navel,” of the British Empire. And that “ley line” – the term for a straight line between prominent landmarks infused with an ‘energy’ of some sort – intersects rather curiously with another one, which links to two major buildings by Sir Christopher Wren

To the north, the line passes through St Anne’s Limehouse, one of six churches designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor — and, in fact, right through a mysterious pyramid standing just outside the church building. Its purpose is unknown. It is not a tomb. And it has “Wisdom of Solomon” carved into it.

To the south, the line passes exactly between both wings of the Old Royal Naval College, right on the south bank of the river in Greenwich. It is on the spot where once stood Placentia Palace, the birthplace of Elizabeth I. A bit further south, it passes through the Queen’s House.

The line crosses the Prime Meridian right next to Greenwich Observatory, where that meridian was established. It touches the statue of General Wolfe, who defeated the French at Québec and won Canada for the British.

Also quite remarkable: there were two working nuclear reactors on the line, a few miles apart, on either side of the omphalos. One for research at Queen Mary’s College, which was moved to Stratford in the 1980s — until it had to move from there as well, to make way for the Olympic Park for the 2012 Games


if you extend it thousands of miles further north, it passes through the area, now in Canada, where the British were looking for the Northwest Passage. At that time, finding that fabled waterway to Asia was more important to them than actual colonization."

A passage through which to sail through previously permit locked Canada?

Sol stairways theorum mentions laylines within the game. There is SOME evidence for this.

Numerology is also (imo) present within the game "The only clue, for which there would be no further clues"

RAXXLA
8

John Dee was partial to a bit of name numerology...

Find the omphalos, follow the road?

Use the real world as tracing paper?

possibly nothing, but it just seems that in someway it might be a clue. We know MB and DB where and are wonderfully interesting and eccentric people, who probably were aware of this myth.

I'll go back to sleep now...

We have long speculated that Raxxla is connected to a Guardian remnant species. Possibly those Guardians that were exiled after the first civil war. They had AI implants and according to the codex they were in a phase of very rapid evolution. The codex has no info on the exiles, after they left. It's is not unlikely that they survived the destruction of the Guardians.
These creatures could describe the Guardians as their parents and the AI constructs, as their lovers.
 
Hi! new here, and have read the summary so far. one question, is it confirmed that Raxxla can be discovered already? As far as the summary, FD confirms it is in the game but not directly saying it could be discovered. It could be in a unimplemented permit locked system no way for players to access. I think its fair if FD would confirm this first?
 
Constellations from the Lower secondary A Velorum System. The Arrow one's center point is HD 74338. Further off screen to the left would be bernards loop. The ghostly white bloob is my fleet carrier. But yeah I was not expecting to see full custom set constellations out here like this.

I remember someone from FD (I think it was Braben) saying: ' We know how to get there'.

I have unfortunately lost the source for this so the quote is for all practical purpose, worthless.

If it's not my memory playing tricks on me, it would suggest that we need to know certain things before it is practically possible to find Raxxla. It's not unlikely that those things aren't available in the game yet.
I probably means that we will never find Raxxla from normal exploring. It will not show up on normal scans or it will not reveal that it's Raxxla.

Raxxla has to be hard to find. It has to be resonnable that noe one (NPC) has been able to locate it for a thousand years. It has to resonnable that a dedicated group like TDW have searched for hundreds of years, without success. At the same time it has to be believable that someone actually found it back in 22XX, with the limited technology of that era.

I think we expect that Raxxla has some kind of unknown technology that actively hides it. The first discoverers may have activated it and managed to keep their secret for a thousand years. Perhaps the Mars relic was the key that got Raxxla online again?

From a story prospektive I don't think permit locks work. They seem to only apply to players (Pilot federation members). NPCs will travel in and out of permit locked systems, without issue.

Well that kinda fits with what is happening with witches reach. If you do a human activity search it shows up as a white dot. but if you look at the system's info its pretty much says its barron. If you happen to get map data from it. Zilch is revealed even by peeking in. Not saying Raxxla is there but it fits in with it aint going to be a simple I can park a carrier here buy the map data and Oh there it is. It has to be flown to and revealed in real time to be found. It's possible the data for it can't be found on the game cause its something that gets generated on the fly and is server side and not client side but fed into the client for it to all work.

Witch's Reach is none other than Alpha Mensae, whose constellation caught my attention a while ago:
 
Also, the toast to Raxxla is 6 locations, you need 6 points in 3D space to plot the 7th(Raxxla). If anyone has a Galmap plotter maybe you can triangulate the center of those points.
I think I understand the map and location you are explaining. I am sorry the communication barrier is hard. I have to translate portuguese allot for my brazilian friends to english in the game because it is hard for them to have what they say to english make sense.
 
I remember someone from FD (I think it was Braben) saying: ' We know how to get there'.
Hmm haven't heard of this one. I've heard "Raxxla is the game and we know where it is..." Or "we, FDev, knows where it is..." Not the "how to get there" bit.

It makes sense for it to be a puzzle. It would be very "Raxxla." Something analogous to the old (once proposed) legend:

"The only way to get to Raxxla was to use Ben Ryder's gateway which was located near Lave and Tionisla system. The only way to find the gateway was to visit Lave Station, ask for permission from Ben Ryder and fly around clockwise around Lave system to Tionisla. The trip had to be not less than 7 to 9 jumps before entering the secret system from Tionisla to the hidden system with the gateway."
