The Quest To Find Raxxla

Has anyone here been to the region 'behind' Running man, where there are a lot of named stars?

These stars are probably proc. gen.(no HIP or HD number) but they are named after famous astronomers, mathematicians, astronauts and similar.
The region is dense with 2MASS stars and other real stars. These smaller star have names like Newton, Galileo or Ptolemy(plenty more).
The region is not permit locked but may be inaccessible, due to other locked sectors.

No problems getting here. I was able to plot straight from the bubble to the Bessel system. Worth it already...

For the record, here's what I think about Raxxla's actual state in the game today. It's quite dull and does not sit well with tinfoiling around the galaxy chasing rumours (which I love to do and shall continue) so I'll spoiler it so, once I've got it off my chest, we can all pretend it's not there.

Why I think it is there:-
  • DB / MB have said Raxxla is in the game and they are on video record saying know where it is. I think this is the origin of the "someone knows someone who met a guy who blew straight through it without stopping." meme. Chinese whispers. A meme in the original Dawkinsian sense, heavily mutated.
  • Drew was told not to touch any Raxxla narrative in his books because FD want to control it.


Why I think we won't find it:-
  • There's no way they are ready to begin that narrative so I reckon it is there, alright, but it is behind one of the permit locks (Bovomit is my favourite because it's roughly on the R-R line and I ain't done with the Rift yet.)

I told you it was dull. Now close the spoiler and let's never speak of this again.

Agreed 100%...and the major reason I gave up on the search.

You will all be very disappointment when you find out that I discovered Raxxla 18 months ago...
...but it was all a dream.

Sorry to go back to comments a number of pages back, but I don't forum every day.

But if it is not a jumpable destination in its own right it could be a part of an extant system and might therefore be named/numbered in accordance with that system’s makeup (or it could be named entirely differently). The only distinguishing thing would then be that its orbit might well be highly inclined to the ecliptic since it would not have formed from the spinning dust disc that formed everything else there.

Your thoughts on rogues matched mine. As there doesn't seem to be a way to jump to "dark systems", I spent time looking at likely inclined planets: like Shinrarta Dezhra B3 (off star LTT 4550) which is perpendicular to the plane.

(it's centered-ish as I was recording the logs)

As a gas giant, surely this could not be formed naturally, and has to be captured / ex-rogue?

I've basically stopped playing at the mo, but hopefully the Q4 update sparks my interest again, in which case i'll definitely be doing some more Rax hunting :)

What if it's not a question of finding the planet, but rather you pick a planet, call it Raxxla, and just like that you've found it? Similar to instances like Colonia, or Beagle Point.

Well it is a question of finding it because Frontier are on record as saying it's there.

OP...

Public FD Raxxla statements:

  1. DB:Does Raxxla exist?
  2. MB:Positive confirmation for Raxxla in the Milky way - DJTruthsayer lore interview with Michael Brookes
  3. DW:Raxxla exists and we know where it is

Imho, Raxxla is in ED (What a silly question! Of course!) but the journey everyone must take for himself (AKA E/F missions, the part a tiny bit obvious) no more.
I bet MB was the one who was personally in charge of this Quest, and as long as he isn't back, the Quest is on standby. He was the story teller.
What could be the story ? Well...would be interesting to read the tinfoilings of our excellent fellow-threaders ;)
