The Leviathan theory. Extended edition.
How to find objects in "The heart of darkness" or what can an unknown artefact do for you?
The original Leviathan theory can be found here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=162998&page=186&p=2559265#post2559265
I still maintain that there is a link between the UA and the Leviathan story in FFE. Every name in the Wings trailer has a connection to the word 'Leviathan'.
I also still think that the UA wants to go to New California in the Laiququ system. Note the markings on the UAs head and the planet configuration in Liaququ:
There is however a snag. The Liaququ system does not exist in the Galaxy map.
It is gone, like several other politically sensitive systems from the past:
Hotice, Miterand's claim and Miackce are exaples of this.
They could of course have had their name changed, but this does not seem to bee the case. They are gone. Or are they?
Recently the Voyagers despaired as well. Could be a bug, but it has been reported and nothing has happened. I think it's intended.
It seems like the authorities (in game) are able to remove stuff from our cartography data base at will. Objects and systems that are banned, simply does not show up even when scanned.
So why would FD remove the Voyagers? Probably because FD wants us to find them again. For that we need the UA.
The UA is not subject to our petty politics. It scans and transmits the name of the closest object without any filters.
Then there is the small problem of the UA eating your modules. It's not practical for long in-system travel and SC is a dangerous place. There is a hint for this in the Wings trailer as well.
Use a Wing.
A 3 cmdr team.
A scout that does the SCing and drops a beacon when in the designated area (volume?)
The bearer that carries the UA, jumps to wing beacon and does the test.
The base camper that sits in in base with the wing beacon on for safe and quick return for the two other cmdrs.
The UA has a Deep space scanner that we can use to find missing stuff. It also wants to go home to it's relatives on New California in Liaququ.
That's the best I can do tonight.
Make a Wing and go find those Voyagers.
Fly safe.

It's worth noting that Claire de Lune is another example of in-game sound asset reuse (it's what the docking computer plays). Maybe the UA learned it from listening to some lazy Fed T-9 pilot shuttling it into stations?
Doesn't the docking computer prefer the Blue Danube by Strauss?
Edit - Way too far behind in thread reading! And well ninja'd

I've used collector limpets on it a couple of times. No difference to any other thing they pick up.
If they can delete systems at will, why didn't they delete Solaris? It is also a very delicate system from FFE. However, it is not deleted but put under authorization lock. I see problems with that. Sure, Solaris could be seen as too widely known to simply be deleted. But why then not simply put a lock on the other systems as well? It's much easier to do and needs way less subtle work. Many systems are not more than a single star. It seems rather unlikely that there are no civil scanners that can pick them up from the other nearest systems. Unless, of course, there is a jammer within. That jammer could be ineffective against the UA as an alien scanner. However, how would we feed the data from the alien scanner into our jump computer?
Unrelated, but this is my old exploring grounds. There is still a lot of untagged stuff out in Synuefai, it being not far from inhabited space. I checked out more than a few SSS while I was out there hoping to stumble on a UA, but they were mostly pirate traps. Not very successful pirates I wager being so far off the beaten path and unable to shoot down my lowly hauler, and none were using UA's as bait. Not that I discount this story, quite the opposite when I saw Synuefai, since large stretches of it as yet are unexplored.

Ah. Still, keep hammering away at Synuefai commander. Lots of stuff out there.Jesters09 said:

What about a hatch breaker http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Limpet_Controller/Hatch_Breaker
The thing at the top looks like it should open....
The only bit of your theory that I think is relevant is the need for a Wing to take it somewhere.
When we know where that somewhere is of course
I am a firm supporter of finding the Voyagers and then, possibly taking a UA there. The idea of using the wing to do this is smart, and what I like about this is it's using the functionality introduced in 1.2 to do it - which has been hinted all along as being all we needed.
Sorry - the Leviathan has not yet awoken for me, because of the missing things. I understand the links, though, and admit they are plausible.
Thanks for the post, Han Zen, as always!
Yes, this has been done on 5-6 occasions.
On ONE occasion behind Sleipnir A 1, the UA emitted fewer purrs than usual (3 as opposed to 5). The subsequent attempts didn't have any change in the sound from the UA.
It has been suggested that perhaps the proximity of the SAP8 containers to the UA is a critical factor. I've tried GENTLY nudging the UA and SAP8s closer together but it didn't make any further change to the UA sound.
Trinkets have been tried alongside the UA without any change in appearance or sound.
We also tried Trinkets along with 12 SAP8s and the UA, once again there was no change. Proximity might have been the problem again.
That's something I want to mention about jettisoning cargo. It spreads apart as it drifts away from the cargo hatch. The usual distance it floats away is 330m-350m directly down from your hatch.
One of the last tests nilreb and I tried before I lost the UA was 2 pilots ejecting cargo at each other. I took position 685m directly underneath nilreb, with my hatch directly facing his hatch. He ejected some SAP8 and I ejected some to make a total of 12 floating together. Then I ejected the UA into the "cloud". The cloud wasn't "dense" enough because it didn't change the UA sound.

i have been following the thread for a while out of curiosity.
But I don't have the time to play and get actually involved in solving the puzzle, so here is an idea.
First, I don't think that FD is actually giving us all the hints without having anything that backs it up. Therefore the obvious hint is not so obvious but still leads to something.
Has anyone tried doing something with the artifact and a biowaste container.? (cargo hold, releasing together, etc.)
They both react the same with the ship, and they may also react similarly to each other. Maybe throw a SAP 8 in. The theory is that the biowaste may damage the artifact/SAP-8 and release whatever is inside.
It would be obvious enough and yet doesn't seem as it has been tried. At least a search on the thread and wiki articles didn't hold the information that it has been tried.

There are probably story reasons for how FD has chosen to handle the systems that were important in the FFE story.
Liaququ was featured in the FE2 Gazeteer. It was a pick up location for a hand coded mission in FFE and it was a lot in the news.
FD has no just forgotten to add it. That would never happen.
Hotice is also gone. Where is it?
I think you meant toxic waste

probably ;-)
see I haven't been playing as much as I wanted.

oh well. it was worth a try posting it.
I see that toxic waste was tried (on the wiki).

Psht. UA Bobbleheads.
GIVE ME MY UA PLUSHIE ALREADY!
Orly?
I didn't notice any report of this,,, that or it just wasn't explicitly mentioned.
Hmmm........
