So you want to know about the Formidine Rift? (Part 3)

I'm not where I can pull up the game right now but I had a thought:

What about plotting out each of the stars in the three constellations via bookmarks? That would let us see how they appear in three dimensional space and we can look at them from any angle to see if there is anything interesting.

very few stars beyond 1000ly from sol. all in the cone. no new information gained from camel..

from sol, the view is scattered.....

If it isn't a POI of some sort, then it can't be anything like a generation ship or strange planet, since those would be POIs, right?

It could certainly be an entire planet, rather than a single point on it. The 'clue' we received would be that it would not *simply* be a POI or USS and was much more. It could be an M-class star shaped like a spoon, or it could be something that includes and encompasses POIs.

I think the hint was perhaps given to stop us wasting weeks cruising SC for a USS which does not exist.

I think the heart and soul nebulas are situated is Cassiopeia when viewed from earth, in real life anyway. Possibly not relevant...

Tip of by Zulu Romeo in the UA thread.

Vain Queen = Cassiopeia
Giraffe = Camelopardalis
Daughtet = Andromerda
Hero = Perseus

But, why does the giraffe remember the hero?

Eh? Have you a link to the explanation of solution?

'The vain queen rides a giraffe that remembers her daughter's hero' sounds like less of a riddle and more of a mnemonic aid to me: T.V.Q.R.A.G.T.R.H.D.H. ...whatever that might be an abbreviation of.

Well, the Perseus arm is part of the region we've been exploring, I'm not sure how the rest of it fits in yet.

I do feel like I should share this again, I was travelling to the EAFOTS EB-P systems. I forget why EB-P was important right now (tired brain), The systems have already been explored but when I bookmarked them on the galactic map, they form a triangle.

I don't know if this has been pointed out before, but maybe it's helpful? One of the points is aimed at the Perseus arm (the others are at the bubble and the edge of the galaxy).

I like this, from what i can tell its around the same place I had mapped for my next rift trip. Although Im heading in the across the rift direction of the triangle. May have a snoop about in the central area of the triangle as well.

EDB appears in some of Drews writing. The significance isnt known but its a good place as any to have a gander.

Tbey are all constellations in the same region of the night sky, veiwed from fhe northern hemisphere.

Could be. What I'm thinking, Kahina visited Sol and then a few other systems. What if she was looking at these constellations? Obviously in Sol she'd see them as we know them here on Earth, but something that makes up the constellation is what has her interest and she wanted to see it from different places?

And what if something about what she was looking at changed (a star disappearing or something like that?), thus she needed to be in the right place at the right time to see it? It would explain her not wanting to be late.

Has anyone looked at the area horizontally? So far everything we see is top down (map wise), and I'm wondering if we also need to look at "section diagram" type views.

BTW - I never see anyone out here, are all you guys in Solo or something? I can't believe that of the hundreds of explorers on my friends list, not a single one is around the rift...

I rarely explore with the map top down. I plot horizontally with a wall of stars in my heading on the map. Only use top down to get from A-B

As embarrassing as it is, Wiki has lists of the stars in each constellation along with distances from sol, listed in order of magnitude. The more interesting ones will be 1000ly + from sol, and as I showed earlier, seem to be forming a cone to the 'north' of the R-R line, but on a 5-10 degree descent through the galactic plane.

Many of the listed starsare re-named or must be listed under procedural names in the ED maps . There are enough to get a general idea though....

Remembering is looking back, its possible you need to align the constellations so the stars of Camelopardalis are looking back towards Perseus stars. It sounds like a clue regarding alignment.

Maybe somewhere around the rift there is an area where They all align in the manner regarding the riddle.

Cassiopeia above Camelopardalis which is looking back towards Perseus.

Where to look though, do we look from sol ( i doubt it as we can already see that from here.

Maybe from the direction of the Andromeda galaxy towards the bubble trying to align he clues.

You can see Andromeda on the map

Of all the constellation stars I can find, 9 Alpha Camelopardalis is the closest to the rift, but it's still 2,400ly away. It also appears to be right at the edge of the galaxy (up) so plotting a course to it is going to be impossible without a long jump range.

Thankyou! :D





If you look up the stars on wikipedia, most of them have an other designations section. Look up the HD names and I've been able to find them that way. For example Alpha Camelopardalis is HD 30614.

Did you find them all ??

Algol is interesting as an NPC was discovered there with a Medusa skin which fits the riddle.
