The Quest To Find Raxxla

Side note, but has Founders World always been devoid of infrastructure/city lights? I don't know if I've ever noticed before, but most ELWs I've visited in inhabited systems had signs of cities. Founders World doesn't.

Probably always been the case, but I've never noticed it before.

Always been like that.

I guess the inhabitants hate light pollution.:D

i beg to differ, this map on my toast this morning clearly shows where Raxxla is, just need to overlay EDs galaxy and wham.. there it is.

Jaiotu will probably remember the details, but I seem to remember that Michael Brookes said Cass A wasn’t in game for a very mundane reason- think it wasn’t in the star catalogues they used to build the galaxy?

why TDW lost Raxxla is indeed a mystery. Perhaps there’s a mindwiping energy field there?
oh no, if I find it I’ll forget everything!
hang on, who are you?
who am I?
:D

Sorry all. Been on a bit of a break. Yes, Mr. Brookes stated that Cas A was not in the data they used to generate the Galaxy. Still seems like a heck of an omission.

No city lights because no cities. Only a couple of "Soylent Green" underground factories.

No. No cities because the founders world is where Elites go to retire or, I should say, are quietly 'retired' by The Pilots Federation. It's just one big graveyard.

1. Mission Report

a)Prism: Found nothing special / passed all plnetary bodies in approx. 45 ls distance, no findings / iirc the Nameplate on Hiram's Anchorage wasn't lighte, guess this doesn't count as a darkened station. Guess I'll scrape prims off my
list.

b) Shibboleth: Went there nothing special / discontinued search will return.

2. Some thoughts on Jorkis idea concerning the start screen: As ist seems the possible target system does never move. Concerning Astrophel and Stella I thought about another unmoving star - Stella Maris, a.ka. the Virgin Star, a.k.a. Polaris our little permit locked system. Did anyone ever try out whether becoming allied with TDW at Founders World unlocks this system? On second thought the poem Verse 22 speaks of "In highest way of heav’n the Sun did ride,". the highest way of heaven of course is south, so this could be a refference to Stella Asutralis (non permit locked). Haven't tried anyone of both alternatives yet, but thought I might add some tinfoil brew.

Indeed but I got to thinking, FD seed clues within the game in this fashion - maybe its a red herring maybe not.

Dark Wheel missions could have disappeared because they related to the Guardians / Thargoids and not Raxxla and someone jumped foward in the narrative with the Unknown Thargoid probes - who knows twis probably just bugged.

Or maybe we were getting too close too soon so they pulled them (most likely). My hunch (and it is just that) is Dark Wheel missions may well pop back to life in regards to the Codex.

FD seed Galnet with clues simular to the toast. The Codex to me is FDs attempt to seed more clues and move things along quicker. They also have a habit of giving us hard nudges from time to time. Maybe - just maybe the toast is such a nudge.

Such odd community goal... a few ghosts from the past. There is certain kind of symbolism, in the very beginning, but how does one derive coordinates from mere ideas. The location is a place you wouldn't be otherwise, and no navigational computer is going to reveal anything. Perhaps one of the HiFlux Chromon-alloy cargo cannisters is leaking..

Old Elites never retire, they just “fade away”!

but who “retires” the retirees?

I’m rambling. This cold/bronchitis is getting to me; I need some of those nanomeds!!

Not firing on all cylinders, butsurely the highest way of heaven is directly overhead, the Zenith. Any stars named something like Zenith?

I guess it’s no longer canon, but according toHoldstock wasn’t Raxxla inhabited by a group of twisted elites, the Dark Wheel? In which case they had to know its location!

It was, but they were not TDW.
Jason was TDW. He was setting up an expedition to find it.

Not exactly. The twisted men that Rafe mentioned were never identified as being members of The Dark Wheel. The Dark Wheel were looking for Raxxla knowing full well that it had already been located and inhabited by someone else (The Club?).

On a side note I'm curious if the decision to name Alex Ryder's sons "Oberon" and "Neptune" in And Here the Wheel were decisions made by John Harper or were handed down from Frontier. There might be an additional clue hidden in those names.

That gives me an idea. Pretend you are at raxxla. Where would you not be? Reverse the thinking...

Rebuy Prospect... but I docked there last night, and I'm sure I didn't see Raxxla.

Oh, and Jorki... while I haven't found your view yet, the last few systems I visited last night there was some serious dust. I'm not sure if it is just a bug, but the Witchhead nebula was not visible. Barnard and Rigel were, and I couldn't find anything on galmap that might obscure my view. Even relogged and went further in. supercruise.

​What has been lost will soon be recovered

​Who speaks ? TDW about Jason having been killed and then the way to Raxxla was lost ? So he knew ?
