They know far more than they are letting on. That entire thing was a scam. I'd be willing to bet they already knew of Halsey's "architects of creation", and were just using her voice as a sympathetic front to get their hands on more data.

Has anyone been experiencing crashss over where the barn is with the cap ship?
I could probably get there tonight. I'm heading that way back from the Eagle Nebula. I'll call in.
Updates:
The barnacle has 14 spikes apparently. So, no bigger than any other one, however it looks pretty extensive, likely due to the location in a hill about 40meters tall.
The Farraguts will not respond to aggressions towards the barnacle itself. They will spawn if you get to close to the ship or try to get inside it.
Once they have spawn they will attack any ship nearby, lsending waves of 5 to 10 fighters, ranging from eagles to vultures.
It looks like they would not attack a Federal cmmdr (that is, someone with federal rank).
Future plans:
It has been observed that some scort ships will periodically jump out of Merope. I recommend to take some wake shift scanners to follow those ships and see where they lead us. This could be a good clue on what is going on.
I strongly recommend to avoid engagement except if you are part of an strong combat wing.
Fly safe,commanders.
yes my pc crashed twice when i was there with you

Yes, I have.
EDDB is showing up one or two other interesting LC-V C2-10s as well - tinfoil coincidences but we've followed worse trails before.

If this holds true, then it would only make sense if Barnacles are being placed by humans since aliens would use a completely different mapping system for the galaxy. It would not make any sense for this to be a pattern for any other reason and it would make me sad if they went that way.
if might be a consequence of the procedural generation seed, not because it is on purpose probably.
Two systems doesn't establish a pattern but when we do get something that is reasonably easily testable it'd be daft not to check it out.
I agree that it would be a crap pattern but hey-ho, the ED gods are human after all

Regarding those system names, let me recommend the excellent Decoding Universal Cartographics thread by Jackie Silver. Long story short, that "LC-V C2-10" part is generated by the system's position within its region, and the C part is the mass code of the system.
So, the similarity between the two systems based on their names is that both should be roughly within the same part of the California nebula region and the Witch Head nebula region, as well as in the same category of system mass. However, non-procedural nebula sectors can be wonky, as they basically override the part of the procedural sector they'd be present in.

The procedural names are generated, at least in part, by star type, I believe. It's entirely possible that there's some other system data that goes into it, and so commonalities in names may simply be a reflection of what types of systems are suitable for barnacle life. Or it might be chance.

I've been here flying planets for 3 weeks at least
I'm flying this one now, but there are a lot of them like this:
Just crashed on approach to the cap ship in Mobius
