What’s with this “data canister” near Numann Camp? Legit or no?

Ya i see i have alot of catching up here

Im thinking this is a bread crumb type quest - The first bit being Astrophel and the spiraling stars... (along with the nice bit about the 8th moon of an unnamed gas giant) - will probably lead us to the Dark Wheel station which will lead to the next bit...

Anyhoo I didnt see anyone point this out ...

From: Astrophil and Stella, Sonnet 13

"Jove’s golden shield did eagle sables bear,
Whose talons held young Ganymede above"

Joves golden shield with an Eagle ... sounds familiar

He is referencing the taking of Ganymede by Jove in the form of an Eagle. Both the Eagle: Aquila and Ganymede (as later water bearer to the gods) : Aquarius are constellations

Well thats where I am going to start looking for gas giants with eight moons.

Sonnet 13 has interesting stuff I cross reference those with Links have interesting things that are related to Elite.

Jove ( Jupiter)
Ganymede ( Jupiter's largest moon)

Phoebus (planet), a fictional planet in the computer game Exile - BACKSTORY

The player takes the role of Mike Finn, a leading member of a space-exploration organisation called Columbus Force, who have been ordered to the planet Phoebus as part of a rescue mission. Finn is tasked with abetting Commander David Sprake and the surviving crew of the disabled Pericles ship from a psychotic renegade genetic engineer, Triax (the titular Exile), who appears briefly at the very start of the game removing a vital piece of equipment called a Destinator from Mike's ship, the Perseus. As with Elite, a novella (written by Mark Cullen, with input from the game's authors) was included to set up the story, and to provide some clues as to the nature of the planet Phoebus' environment. The novella implies the events take place some time in the 22nd century.[4]

Quick search produced a wiki result: RaLa Experiment

Seems legit, for highly questionable propaganda

Edit: Minus the typo, "spent considerably resources"

From Wikipedia page on Lanthanium:

“Since lanthanum's properties differed only slightly from those of cerium, and occurred along with it in its salts, he named it from the Ancient Greek λανθάνειν [lanthanein] (lit. to lie hidden).”

“To lie hidden” seems like an odd coincidence to me...

Bye for now. See you on the other side.:O

Providing we’re not sucked into an editorial black hole and stuck in an endless loop of mythology by Chronos (as system in fed space as I found a couple of days ago)

Came out fine on the other side.

Is this in-game, or just more ?

"A battered data canister lies somewhere close to Neumann Camp"

"...You see, the Raxxla symbol is depiction of an implosion assembly. An array of explosives compresses subcritical shell of fissionable material inward, resulting in supercritical mass of radioactive material. The term Raxxla is originally derived from a certain phase of a process known as the Manhattan Project, more precisely a series of tests called the RaLa Experiment, RaLa standing for radioactive lanthanum. During those ancient times, creation of uniform, symmetric explosive compression was not easily produced. Some scientific principles from this era, such as explosive lensing, are still being used in modern spacecraft. One of the unexpected results from these experiments was an occurrence of unexplainable data bursts observed during one of the tests performed by divisions associated with nuclear weapons research. High energy physics was poorly understood at the time, as they were for several subsequent centuries, and the division assigned with study of the assembled data was simply known by as "Raxxla", initially. The nature of these data bursts still remains a mystery, as all associated data has since been highly classified, even to this day. Our organization has over the centuries spent considerably resources on intercepting restricted, and often fragmentary information, and gathering from diverse sources we have come to believe having created a fairly reliable account on what results were made in this study. It would appear they were convinced having contacted some kind of artificial network of wormholes, or higher spatial dimensions capable of passing through information. Some more speculative remarks mention some kind of intelligent design, and "witch space", a term repeated in several documents..."

No idea but here's a pic and a source: https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/233350

Why are you posting pictures that have nothing to do with the game? Hey lets search for a few Elmo pictures and post them too! SMH

CMDR Violet Lightwave · Mar 28, 2019

You quoted a source describing RaLa as having something to do with Raxxla. I provided a photo and a source document that speaks to your quoted material. Have you not read this thread? There are many speculated theories around Raxxla that utilize themes and topics that "have nothing to do with the game".

mach10 · Mar 28, 2019

I asked if the quote posted was from in-the-game and we get back more non-sense.

CMDR Violet Lightwave · Mar 28, 2019

I did clearly state I do not know the answer to your question, but you seem to fail to understand the spirit of this thread. Let's hope you are right and it is, indeed, "nonsense" as you so eloquently describe.

Hi Everyone I think I have cracked the identity and meaning of the center piece of the Raxxla Codex image. Please take a moment and read my findings. Disclosure: I believe this to be symbolism and a way of pointing us in the direction of Raxxla without specifically mentioning what it is.

I did a bit of research on those phile things a few moths back. Didn't find anything conclusive, but I wouldn't rule it out completely.

Noobilite · Mar 28, 2019

In the end we are going to come up with some massively overcomplicated theory on where raxxla is and it will just happen to be where raxxla is. And it will turn out they put it there for extremely simple reasons. And they will then be like, "Yea, that is exactly why we chose to stick raxxla there!"

mach10 · Mar 28, 2019

phile's thing wasn't even new, if someone cracked it, it was the guy 150 pages back that did it.

Data canister reported by Hanerib is fake. Forums are pointless, don't bother looking here.

mach10z: We are trying to eliminate possibilities for Raxxla, was your post about a data canister a work of fiction or was it found in-game?
Hanerib: All are fiction in the eyes of Tothos

It's one thing to come here and be rude about everything said here, and another to not contribute to anything.

There are people here who spent 4+ yrs trying to figure a lot of things out and they are leaving no stone unturned. They don't need to be subjected to horrible criticism without someone contributing to the topic themselves.

Just in case anyone is getting a little tired of the negativity that is allowed on the forums, there is a discord created for all Raxxla hunters. It is the Independent Raxxla Hunters discord and is moderated enough to cut down on people who are rude and damaging to the community. To give you an idea of the kind of community and openness that we have a user provided to everyone, without restriction a Library that provides searchable access to galnet, beacons and other resources.
