Just stopped in at Laklano with a medium ship after the system proved to have nothing for my Anaconda to land at.
Code at the station from 25th Oct is:
AGRJERN SBGFGAEVNGRDEZEBJ
EI1 QNPNVEBCADKAHSGNRV
Which you encrypt (I think I actually was encrypting instead of decrypting with the Takurua one too) using the code CRYHAVOK to get:
CONDANI PROVOCATIONHAZARD
AB1 MILITARYCHECKPOINT
Going to pop into Condani and have a look. In Takurua when I went to the anomaly signal it was just above a planet and there was nothing in it. I did consider landing on the planet under the signal but the planet was almost 2G and I was in my Conda so I decided not to risk it.

I found a system region that satisfy the 2 letter repetition in its name, but I have to understand how match it in the a z column enumeration.
The sistemi name is
Ophiuchus Dark Region
2 o
1 p
2 h
2 i
2 u
1 c
1 s
1 d
1 a
2 r
1 k
1 e
1 g
1 n
probably fit only if the asteroid belt is "< <"
.... but it doesn't fit with the exact number of 2 letter instances...
something similar?

i spent so long trying to solve that last night and thought it was a complete dead end, had to sleep before i posted it but I see someone has already beaten me to it! Well done on the decipher cmdr.
Just a quick point about the nonogram, I don't think the lower section would contain the system name in some encoded / encrypted form, simply because it would make the picture part of the message redundant. Unless the picture is incorrect, ie missing a moon or something, then putting the name of the system in the lower section would be required and the PIO would be whatever the difference is between the system and picture.
from a quick look on EDSM there are 5 systems containing 'Ophiuchus Dark Region'
Anyone able to check them out? If not I will later today
no thx, but this was an example.
ophiuchus dark region has only five "2 letter" repetitions.
we have to find a name with six "2 letter" reptitions (if asteroid belt is < <)
in this case, the number of repetitions on every column, from left to right, counting the first as the sun border, are:
0 1 0 2 1 0 2 0 1 1 1 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 0 2 0 2 0 1
6 "2 letters"
7 "single letter"
7 + 6*2 = 19 letters in the name

is there a star type near condani that is an AB herbig ?

Strong candidate by the looks
I found two checkpoints but neither seemed particularly odd. There's a distribution centre in the system so I'm checking that out as I haven't seen one of those before. Will dock at a station too see if there's anything interestng.
Looking at this afresh:
https://ixalon.github.io/elitedangerous/
- if the relic is a 'complete symbol', then the obelisk consists of 3 separate symbols. (it may be a word but each letter is "discrete").
- if the relic is 1/3 of a complete symbol, then we may either trying to recreate the missing relic symbols from obelisk, or we're simply missing 2 symbols?
Another possibility is that we're looking for rules within the 3 obelisk animations (e.g. if left/up is white, turn this cell black). And applying those rules to the relic's symbol would create a new animation.
I'm not sure if it's possible to step through the obelisk animation?

Could not find an article in Caucuma
Guess you're right, but anyways, we should track all unknown beacons to get an overview

Yeah, there was an error extracting the relic pattern - CMDR AlistairHope posted some more screenshots earlier that showed it from a different angle where the pattern was more visible. I'm still not 100% sure the top row on the right is correct, but I've made the other corrections.
But yes, even with the corrections, the relic pattern does not match any of the states on the obelisks.
How did you use the CRYHAVOK to decode the other message?
Hey, may be i can help you? Please, contact me via PM.
Caucuma is my next stop, so I'll double check that.
I think it was the same idea discussed yesterday - to sum vertically 3 rows in question and to relate them to alphabet, then search coincidence with star system names:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
0 1 0 2 1 0 2 0 1 1 1 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 0 2 0 2 0 1
1 0 2 1 0 2 0 1 1 1 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 0 2 0 2 0 1 0
0 1 0 2 1 0 2 0 0 2 1 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 0 2 0 2 0 1
1 0 2 1 0 2 0 0 2 1 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 0 2 0 2 0 1 0
(four variations: two asteroids - '.'.'.,'.''.' - x2 horizontal shifts)
I've played with this yesterday but without any good results so far.
