Its quite easy to find, go close to the 10th planet in the Alaunus system and then fly in the direction of the Horae system for 22kls. It should show up as a POI in the navigation tab.
Had the same problem. Must have past it just above 1000Ls. To my luck, the CMDR i met at the Zurara few days ago (can you believe it? how are the odds?
) was at the ship and could guide me in with wing-beacon.And just for those who want to go there in Solo or PG in an unshielded Exploration ship... Don't!!!
I dropped at the ship and it was pitch black ahead! I got dropped right into the front-shield without a chance to steer away and smashed right into it. I love shields!

**FAQ by @ryan_m17 ** @everyone Those of you that know me and my group know that when it comes to ganking, we know what we're talking about. What we're all here to do is defend the VIPs from people that want to kill them. The people that will be doing this will mostly be PvPers who have a LOT of experience in ganking, especially other combat-fit ships. The ships the VIPs will be flying, from my understanding, will be mildly engineered and likely flown by mostly inexperienced pilots (for PvP, at least). This will be an uphill climb for our side, because if one of them gets interdicted, they WILL die. There is no getting around that. Our enemy has one singular purpose in mind, which is to kill the VIP. Post-interdiction, I am not expecting them to last more than 10 seconds to any PvP fit ship, so their wingmates WILL NOT be able to help them if it comes to that. Healing won't help. Big ships won't help. Torps won't help.

That being said, the name of the game is instance saturation and tactical interdictions. The only way these VIPs get to their end point is by clearing the way for them. This means scouting ahead for trouble. It means identifying threats and interdicting them until they leave, or our VIPs pass through. This is the strategy for 90% of the people in this channel:
-Identify target
-Interdict target
-Run like hell
-Do it again
If you are not an EXPERIENCED PVPER (SDC/AA/etc.), this is what you should run:
iEagle: https://eddp.co/u/cwssXH98
iCourier: https://eddp.co/u/Bh68f12m
With these builds, your strategy is to interdict, drop, and fly away EVASIVELY. What does evasive mean? Not in a straight line unless you KNOW you are at least 100 m/s faster than what you pulled. Evasive doesn't mean do an aileron roll as you boost away, because you're still essentially flying in a straight line. Evasive is using lateral thrusters to alter your path. It's turning while you boost to make you hard to target with fixed weapons. Evasive is popping a heatsink when you're 2km out so you drop off sensors.
Again, 90% of you should be running the above builds because unless you ALREADY know how to PvP, all you'll be doing is throwing yourself at an enemy that is unlikely to fight you, and if they do, you will die very, very quickly. If you're an experienced PvPer (meaning you regularly participate in actual high-level PvP) do what you want.
FAQ:
"But Ryan, I kill Conda/Vette NPCs all the time in my battle Conda/Vette/Cutter, I can totally take these scrubs, right?"
No, you can't, and you won't. You will die and we will all laugh at how dumb you are.
"But Ryan, I want to actually fight in this event because I need validation for my combat skills"
No, you don't, and you won't. You will die and we will all laugh at how dumb you are.
"But Ryan, seriously, I know what I'm doing. I'm going to bring torps because that's how you kill PvP ships"
No, you don't, and you won't. You will die and we will all laugh at how dumb you are.
"I don't have access to Palin to get G5 DD. What do?"
Go to Farseer and get G3 DD and roll until you get some great secondaries that put you way over the limit on optimal multiplier. The faster you can go, the more likely it is that you will survive.
"I still think I should bring a big ship. I think with healing and torps I can save the world"
No, you can't, and you won't. You will die and we will all laugh at how dumb you are.

I cannot stress this enough, guys. If you are looking at this message for guidance, you are in the 90% that need to run those 2 builds. The PvPers you are going against will not fight you because you are not the target. If we're actually fighting, something has gone either horribly right or horribly wrong. If you end up in a fight with a PvPer, you will get toasted just like the NPCs in a conflict zone. This will happen to you (including the hilarious YouTube video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkHoS98ciow

So everybody, who doesn't support Salome/Kahina and has different opinion on the flow of the things is a ganker? That speaks volumes of her supporters.
I wonder, if there's some organised opposition and I don't mean those gankers, but simply players/groups, who are not so brainwashed and want her arrested and properly judged in front of a court - be it Federation or Imperium allied pilots/groups.

I can see something else happening too. In the confusion of the battle, commanders shooting at ships winged with Salome that are trying to heal her shields, thinking that they are attacking her assailants.

A lot of CMDR's role play hard core Fed/Imp CMDR's, and such a CMDR's belief system would revolve doing what is best for the faction they serve - and the faction wants Salome dead.
Z...
2 mill bounty is't that bad either.
If you role play a bounty hunter or enjoy PvP bounty hunting, it's a tempting target.
Bobba Fet would be all over it.

Found it, the ship was awesome... until epic pro skill git gud FDLs and Vettes came. Recommend going in Solo or PG if you wanna check it out, unless you wanna go for it, the place is like a CZ.

I think that's the wrong question. Story wise, why would you NOT want to kill Salomé?
The most positive position I can imagine is "don't care what she does", the most sensible one is "kill her before she causes the death of even more people".
Without looking at lore and story, then yes - supporting her is the logical thing to do.
nvm, sorted

Listen if either Salomes wing or Yuris wing get caught out id be very surprised, Its going to be so hard to catch a wing that is just jumping from location to location.
On the day Sap Core will enjoy the PvP out in open lys away from the posse.
The hardest thing is going to know who to kill and who not to kill although there will hopefully be a solution to this, scrolling through a list of names isnt going to work, we will be kill first check list later.

I want her to survive, Im not a CoR fan girl I just want to know whats gone on in the past.
Once she survives, which she will I hope she reveals what we need to know and leaves things with Raan, from there I hope she becomes a Space Hippy and joins me and Tinkerbell Jet up in Quince for a few Lavian brandys

2m.... pfffft im offering 200m
Yep... What do you wanna know?
Bit annoyed that the Gen ship gets a more realistic look, Zarura was fully working when it should have been dead.
It seems that the Rift mystery isnt as important as Fdevs story plotting.
No wonder Drew is pulling his hair out, I'm sure both storys are great but I think Fdev have rushed the rift mystery into submission so they can move on quickly. I can understand their reasons but its a bit disappointing being a rifter.
At the same time it gives us another conspiracy to work on, Black Net will be all over this.

May I? I think I can think of a reason to let her speak.
She's on a mission she believes will right a great wrong. She's willing to die in order that the message is heard, she's putting everything she has onto one throw of the dice, this is her "Alamo" moment. I can respect that regardless of my own opinions on the right or wrong that she is to reveal/would like to reveal. If you can't see where that appeals to the spirit within, then few can help you.
If all you have to offer is "I fight for the "whatever" and don't ask why." then you are a poor soldier indeed, because it is a soldiers DUTY to question bad orders. The answer to a question can never be "I was just following orders." because that's the Nuremberg Defence, it didn't work then, it won't work now. If freedom of speech has any meaning left in 3303 then she has the right to speak, we have the right to listen and THEN make a decision, to do it any other way is wrong on any level you care to mention. You don't need any lore to decide, you don't need logic, you just need to know you are still human.
If we kill her before she speaks, we have abandoned any pretence of freedom of rule of law and justice. She may well die, possibly justifiably, but even the condemned get the chance of "Any last words."
Nothing just interested, might head out there later but I have some engineering tweaks to do for the 29th.
I seen Ants video and it looks interesting as I've been looking for the Gen ships, I thought the Gen ships may have been part of the Rift mystery at one point. ( Drew kinda said No )
Well its part of Black Nets next mandate so should be fun
- - - Updated - - -
To be fair she is a bit of entitled Imperial Emo brat but with a bit of guidance she has become an improved person. She has information I think we all need to hear. Only Extremist Imperials will try and stop her. Feds seem not too bothered and she has a lot of Alliance support ( and Imp support I might add. )
Sap Cores only concern is with Yuri Nakamura, he is our guy now.
If he doesn't make it then we will feel it will be a Sap Core failure.

From my characters point of view she's a traitor and a terrorist. Regardless of what information she claims to have the ends never justify the means and she needs to answer for her crimes. It would be better to take her alive for trial but history has demonstrated the dangers of that. Kill on sight.
A very good reason, Im sure your master Darth Va I mean Denton Patreus will be happy with your choice
I don't know if you're aware how long the Rift stuff has been in the game and how closely they worked on it with Drew, but it seems like they put a lot of specific details following Drew's word. So, If the Zurara looks alive then it's probably on purpose.
Also, The Zarura may be fully working for a reason that we haven't worked out yet. It's obvious there's enough content there and the community gave up searching for it too soon in the previous years. Now with the MEgaships and new developments, there's only going to be more content which calls for more indepth searching of the areas.
