Right after the silly statement, slightly muffled by a mouth of coffee:
"You don't know what it is though"
Cover me in tinfoil and call me Connor Spiracy, but I don't think Raxxla is a planet

I agree.

I’ve been saying for months in this thread that it’s probably the station shown in non-Horizons start menu screen, with TDW stealth station (subject of TDW Codex entry toast) shown in the Horizons start menu screen.
Aren't those just the normal Orbis and Coriolis stations, though?I’ve been saying for months in this thread that it’s probably the station shown in non-Horizons start menu screen, with TDW stealth station (subject of TDW Codex entry toast) shown in the Horizons start menu screen.
Location is the thing here.
I was under the impression the DW station was a different type completely, though I could very well be wrong.Location is the thing here.

Raxxla is a certain celestial body, The Myth, but also a place that isn't a place.
A scientist may assume it's kind of a Black Hole... (As many players already stated and investigated)
But any Buddhist here to really enlighten us ?
(About BH, we can fly into them and be low waked. Maybe a small planet is obfuscated there. Undetectable untill you enter the exclusion zone, because of the Event Horizon thing. Raxxla would be obfuscated beyond the EH ! A device, construct, that exploits the BH to manage a stable wormhole.)
'Hey Mike, where are we going to hide Raxxla ? It must be undetectable!'
'Mmmh, that's true, Dave. In the MW but... what about inside a BH ?'

no, location is obfuscated
edit: my hypothesis that the start screen shows Raxxla as a station is based on MB’s comment regarding Raxxla that “there will be no clues, but you have to make it a little bit obvious”, and the original ED start screen is the only thing that could be described as being obvious.

Also, would there be a clue by understanding the odd difference (inside the mind of the FDevs) between a celestial body and a stellar body ? What does the (crappy) FSS reveal ? Celestials or stellars ?Herr P.-D. , note the Berenice's curls.
DB is quite into astronomy so I think FD terminology will be fairly standard usage. Wikipedia says “In astronomy, the terms object and body are often used interchangeably”, and “Young stellar object (YSO) denotes a star in its early stage of evolution”
so I think a stellar body is a star while an astronomical or celestial body is generic and covers planets, stars, etc. The Wikipedia definition is “An astronomical object or celestial object is a naturally occurring physical entity, association, or structure that exists in the observable universe”.
which leaves open to question crafted objects by whatever race, such as Guardian beacons, human/Guardian settlements, stations or bases, Thargoid structures etc....My personal view is that these would also be termed as celestial bodies,
But I may be wrong!
Have you tried asking DB?
edit: however you are assuming that quotation “a certain celestial body, The Myth, but also a place that isn't a place” from the DW (Shinrarta faction) missions does in fact refer to Raxxla. It might be that the missions were dropped because FD realised this quote (didn’t it originally come from The Dark Wheel novella by Holdstock? Edit3: just checked & it’s not from that novella, so may be FD, but is it canon???) is not canon for ED’s implementation of Raxxla. Raxxla is, after all, a myth so you cannot necessarily put any trust in any of the lore regarding it...it may be part of the obfuscation!
Edit2: FSS is the “Full System Spectrum Scanner”; the Wikia (fan maintained, not canon!) says “It is activated after switching to Analysis Mode and conducting an initial scan of a star system using the Discovery Scanner to identify all astronomical objects and signal sources. ”
edit4: but a Black Hole is a solution to “the place that is not a place” (possibly non-canon) quote, and I guess it is conceivable that FD could put a planet or station etc inside one. So all BH within about 400ly of the bubble should be entered & explored!

Credit to Cmdr Lachann, Canonn DiscordI’ve been saying for months in this thread that it’s probably the station shown in non-Horizons start menu screen, with TDW stealth station (subject of TDW Codex entry toast) shown in the Horizons start menu screen.
I think these are the exact words, yes ?
TDW faction, same name as The Dark Wheel by RH, where Raxla appears, seems to me quite a tiny bit obvious.
Besides, so people know what they are doing. Seems to imply there IS something to DO. The personal journey.
But, again, my teribble Anglich might very well fool myself.

Still searching, people still look for the 8th moon of a gaz giant; the problem is in 500 ly around sol (what EDSM and EDDB was able to give us) there still 2334 systems (my own research in progress) that need to be check.
Pretty sure myself is will be an hidden undockable station with some audio logs (like the zurara) and once discover maybe Fdev will change it. Only way to know at the moment would be to find something by datamining.
How did Lachann get those system names, do we know?
no, location is obfuscated

The old missions which have been removed could also be considered a little bit obvious since they did not mention the name Raxxla afaik.
Tinfoiling. It's an hypothesis.
Looked at Canonn Discord, he posted a second picture of the Orion constellation that the named stars are part. The only trouble is for been the good star mapping, the planet need to be around sol to be see like that otherwise you can't recognise them. Since they fade (hope isn't because of the sun), is mean that the system is "behind" sol when watching the constellation.
Parallax

As the figure walks away from you he whispers "Remember Parallax!" or was it Raxxla?
The figure enters the bar after 3 years of exploration, handing you a list of steps
- Gain Elite Status
- Land on Shinrarta Dezhra A 1
- Take multiple photographs fixated on various stars in the night sky (Be sure to record your planetary coordinates and timestamp each screenshot.)
- Come back to the same spots in 5 days time.
- Photograph the same stars again at the same locations.
- Stack the Photos you've taken and look for moving objects.
- Using your friend SohCahToa calculate the distance of the objects that moved and compare them with the objects in the System map.
- There WILL be 1 object that does not match the system map... It is there you will find what you seek...

Do you have the reference to that? Is it in a thread?
