Think it's not over yet, more the season cliffhanger
This is probably the best way to look at it.
Cheers,
Drew.

no one else was bothered in the slightest for going to an area the superpowers were supposedly trying to keep things secret - all others could come and go as they pleased. Highly unlikely that the three superpowers - or whomever is involved - would allow roaming explorers to go unmolested if they were serious about protecting this supposed big secret.
What I don't get is, (and I say this as someone who has seen none of the footage of the event, etc), how do we know she died when her ship was destroyed - we don't die when our ships are destroyed...
Oddly enough, a certain Drew Carnegie asks that very question in the book.

That was a creative decision on my part, to raise the stakes. There is no ambiguity on her death. She is gone.
Cheers,
Drew.
So you can confirm that the Escape Pod handover with Yuri had nothing to do with her Death?

I suppose I could wave a magic... no that's a bad idea.

You've got that young magician on your brain there![]()
Thanks for your input.
I'm assuming this is confirmation that the Rift mystery is now fully completed.
I've stated what my personal gripes are - and the story is not the issue. The problem I see is that while you (Drew Wagar) have been trying to provide content and 'lore' for Elite, Frontier have failed - in my opinion - to fully support the content you have written about (as well as others) in the actual game itself. Had the Formidine Rift been a real place of mystery, strange happenings - almost like the Bermuda Triangle - all would have been well and good. Most all Rifters might have experienced some chance encounter or phenomenon - whatever (use some imagination Frontier) - while searching for the primary objective. As it is, most all came away with nothing - except to be told (in the messages) that no one asked for individuals to go out searching that far (thanks a bunch!).
I'd also hazard a guess that despite the messages saying that beacons had been dropped by The Zurara around terraformable worlds and Earth-like worlds, that in reality there are no beacons to be found around such planets in or beyond the Rift as they haven't been included in the game (the three sectors mentioned in the logs probably also non-existent currently). I'd be happy to be informed I am wrong about that.
Thanks very much, otherwise.
Teorge is mentioned in "The Dark Wheel" - the book that came with the original Elite, which would be "the old lore". So "The Dark Wheel" is an obvious candidate for the organisation. They've been mentioned in connection with this mystery before, too, with the items left behind on the earlier disappearance of Kahina Loren.
(In the "old definitely not lore" of Mutabilis at least some of the parallel-universe Rebeccas were canonically members of it, too)
INRA certainly fits some of the description and some of the methods they've used fit very well with how they were portrayed in the fiction that came with FFE (old lore again) - but I really can't imagine Rebecca getting involved with them in the first place. I wouldn't be *surprised* if it was them - and I certainly won't be surprised if they have their own part to play in the story - but I don't think it fits quite as well for this particular clue.
Presumably the organisation itself is not mentioned by name because they name-search on mysteriousbeacons.galnet
I was under the impression there already was a Rifters groupm called "The Formidine Rifters"

Good, because currently I feel like I've been allowed into the cinema just as the end credits roll on a whodunnit where the main chtr is killed before the big reveal, and there's no plans for a sequel.
Sorry for the salt, but only recently have I found out there was more to the game than the usual run-of-the mill stuff, and you lot were playing the real game. I was sort of hoping I could join you, if only as the guy who cleaned the cigar stubs out of the urinals and cleaned up all the spilt coffee in the canteen. (you could at least put your cups in the sink y'know).
IMHO, I don't see why the Formidine Rift would be like the Bermuda Triangle. It is just a normal bit of space, the mystery was the content and we got that the content was an exodus plan. I don't see why we should be seeing UFO's and strange sightings in their. I guess the name "Formidine" created a sense of fear in that place and we started expecting unknown stuff. I understand that it is anti-climatic but well, that's how the story goes.

So the star riders who spend their life chasing comets and living in their home-ship, are considering the possibility of having a cosy comfortable station with lot of Anlian Gin, hostesses and ... a LEADER ????
LOL !!!! [wacko][wacko][wacko]
Somehow it doesn't feel right.
The Dark Wheel doesn't look like an organization working for the rich. The whole Dynasty plan looks more like plan from an organization that aimed to get a lot of credits from paranoid rich people. Just like in present day there are business that sell places in luxury bunkers in case of the apocalypse.
If the Dark Wheel is involved I would expect them to have used the Dynasty plan to cover up something else and to get credits and the whole "Illuminati" secret galactic government is just a hoax.
