Are the Thargoid maps thoroughly understood? I'd like to exhaust all potential location indicators before I start chasing ghosts in the void.

The Quest To Find Raxxla
- Thread starter Macros Black
- Start date
It was a couple of months ago (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...-Find-Raxxla?p=7137768&viewfull=1#post7137768) but since I'm out of leads (and tired of mission-running) I'm going to head out to the Jewel Box cluster to look for, well, anything. The hint from Cynthia Sideris's name could also apply to other places but I just want to get away from the Bubble for a few days.
Hello CMDRs, I’ve been reading this thread for a long time now and I would like to add one thing. I can’t remember what system it’s in but it is in the bubble but there’s a Coriolis station named (a different kind). Has anyone else been there?
Just noticed an interesting bit of text in the Elite Dangerous manual,
Who is this organisation? how do we impress them?
Could it be the Dark Wheel that give us our free Sidewinder at the start of our Elite Dangerous careers?
You may be puzzled right now as to why you’ve just received this little windfall. Nothing wrong with that – I’d be worried if you weren’t.
But now get ready for lesson number one. When a golden opportunity comes your way – and trust me, they’re few and far between, my friend – reach out and grab it with both hands. Sometimes it’s clever to ask questions, and sometimes it’s not. This time it’s not.
All you need to know is that my organisation has a very specific remit: to seek out those who have the potential to become real movers and shakers, those precious few with the talent to mould and shape the galaxy around them, to create change on a grand scale.
We find them, and then we test them. Consider this your test. Take the ship. Take the money. No strings, no hidden clauses. Do with them what you will. Blaze your own trail.
Impress me, perhaps you’ll learn more.

What do you mean by "a different kind"? Can you provide more details?
That’s the name of the station, no x gateway or x this or x that just ( a different kind). Even when I go into station services it says a different kind
huh, funny. Where is it? Maybe having triple elite and/or being allied with some factions would make a difference. Are you sure it's not bugged?
I haven’t been there after I made elite in exploration so It could.its been a few months and I can’t remember what system it’s in, and I’ve never written anything down. I know it’s not much to go on sorry.
But I have been there two or three times
Yeah, I found that too but it seems none of their stations are called so.
Some addition for my Coronae Borealis "theory". There are so named "Blaze star" in this constellation. I don't know English enough, but I think "burns" and "blazes" are the very same words. Unfortunately this star is not in our game 
Probably because it is too new. Or too secret. Oh, sorry, I again going hunting ghosts.

Not even remotely. The thargoid probe's image is most likely the details of a specific planet, but as to which planet no one knows for certain. As for the Device image: http://remlok-industries.fr/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/ED-Arteregn-Thargoid-map-handtraced.png
All that is known for absolute certain is that the system on the left is Merope, and that Thargoid Sensors always point at Merope (The star specifically). The system on the right is undetermined, but in the game probes point at Merope 5C. I have personally taken a Sensor, Link, and Probe to Merope and oriented the three to where they would line up with what is on the map, and tried a variety of activation techniques but nothing new happened. If the probes work anything like the links, we may need to bring the probe to the system it is pointing to before it provides a different reaction. This theory was most likely worthless given that Merope 5C is orbiting.
Many theorize that the system on the right is in fact the Thargoids' home/origin system, and the image from the probe details exactly which planets either A. The thargoids are from or B. The probes are from. My personal theory is that we are unable to read or understand the map because we do not have the capability of wormhole travel like they do, making it impossible for us to actually follow the map even if we did understand it.

It's strongly implied ingame that the president of the Pilot's Federation is an old, old member of The Dark Wheel. Further supporting this is that SD is there "...to keep The Founders happy..." and they align with The Pilot's Federation. Considering it's supposedly the guy from the old games, he'd be one of the oldest people alive, too, likely because of cloning tech, which only the PF and DW are open about using (it's used to revive us indefinitely, for example.). This is less speculation than most of the thread, but it doesn't seem to lead anywhere. Every Elite pilot and their moms are checking those connections.

As far as I can tell, station audio changes based on State, but some of it is static.
Edit/Add: I do believe most is static. Obsidian talked about a permit while I was there, and that is YEARS out of date information.

Long time lurker here. This is my fourth total post.
I had the thought today that all of us are like dogs chasing a car in our search for Raxxla. What would we do if we caught/found it? How will the reality of the in game Raxxla ever hope to live up to the myth? I wonder if Frontier even intends to ever have Raxxla be found? Raxxla could serve more use as an enigma than as an actual in game destination. It’s likely locked behind a permit and it could very well stay that way. I’m not even sure that I hope that I’m wrong about that because the reveal could turn out to be very disappointing.

Can you recall any details, location, port type??
A lot of work went into deciphering the TP signal, in the Canon Threadnought that Rizal managed. A clever piece of analysis on the tight beam transmission from the TP directed at Merope5C suggests planet parameters are reported with respect to a system in Col70 area. See the threadnought, or a summary in https://canonn.science/codex/unknown-probe/
The system on the right is Col 70 Sector FY-N C21-3. Cmdr Wace decoded that from the probe sound.
The three numbers are distance to: Col 70 Sector FY-N C21-3, Merope and you current system. That gives the possition of the target system(and one dud possition).
This works 100%. There might be some ‘fine print’ in the map that we haven’t figurer out, but the main function is known.
I swear if the Thargs are hunting Raxx, and it's been permit locked the last couple years I've looked, I'm gon be upsetti spaghetti. I'll gladly turn on the Feds and Imps for the glory of Raxxla.
Like: "Bug off Huddy and Zemmy, the Thargs are my new best pals!"
