Actually that indicates that the planet is orbiting the barycenter of a binary (or multiple) star. You can tell by the body naming scheme - if a planet is orbiting stars A and B, it will have the name AB1. They're not rogue since they're in fixed orbits (although they may be rouge).

Huh, on the orbiting plane the planet didn’t revolve around either star, in fact it didn’t have an orbital plane from what I remembered I just assumed an X indicated it had no orbital plane. Oh well there’s something I need to land on then, a rouge planet huehuehue
Pics or it didn't happen and all that.
But it sounds very suspiciously like you're not talking about rogue planets. What you're describing is planets orbiting a barycentre - they're pretty common. They're still gravitationally bound, not rogue.
(For reference, everything orbiting orbits a barycentre. It's just that in a system with the majority of the mass in a single body (such as our solar system, or say a satellite going round the Earth) then the barycentre is inside that body.)
Edit - pic confirms that it's as above, but ninja'd by Drew anyway!
Something I found reported by Caltech and NASA.
Planet X, sometimes referred to as Nibiru, is suspected to be on a very very long elliptical orbit, approximately 70 degrees off the plane of our own solar system.
Raxxla may be this planet in our game.
Hypothetical Planet X
The existence of Planet X remains theoretical at this point. This hypothetical Neptune-sized planet would circle our Sun far beyond Pluto.solarsystem.nasa.gov
The solar system's hidden Planet X may finally be spotted soon
A new paper suggests the hidden world known as Planet X is closer to being seen than previously thought.www.cnet.com
I think we are looking in all the wrong places for Raxxla and it may be located in our own backyard.

No. Every man and his dog have been sniffing around Sol, and it would be visible on the FSS which can detect the voyager space probes. Again this has all been covered before.

{And the x planets - thats just the system map view showing that the objects are orbiting around all the stars in between}
and more eloquently put too
Didn’t take a picture of the orbital plane... it was just a plant that sat in between the two stars which gave some amazing in game screen shots, both stars had an asteroid belt around them with this planet sat in the middle of the two as they had the same solar masses (from what I remembered) but yes I do think it’s a barycentre planet.
Will be nice to finally know what I was chasing there, Edelgard.

Well we don’t know that the FSS can pick up Raxxla, if there is a planet X as this CMDR says then it would be a significant thing for Fdev to miss out. Perhaps there is a chance he is right?No. Every man and his dog have been sniffing around Sol, and it would be visible on the FSS which can detect the voyager space probes. Again this has all been covered before.

Indeed you did
Well we dont' know anything at all - not a thing other than whats stated for fact in the codex which is almost nothing. But thats why its fun (although the gloss is wearing thin, I must say)
We have to be reasonable - the FSS can pick up a farting geyser from 1M ls away... it can find something the size of a planet - they more or less gave it to us to find TDW and Raxxla.. (thats conjecture, of course)

Oh jeez, let's not be giving any credence to the Nibiru rubbish. It's a totally different thing to the Planet X stuff being discussed in the articles. The Nibiru stuff is utter nonsense.Something I found reported by Caltech and NASA.

People are taking things in the Codex as definitely true?! You're all crazy I tell you!
The codex only makes four positive statements for Raxxla:
In TDW codex the only positive statement is 'Finding Raxxla is their principal aim', which of course means they haven't found it yet after hundreds of years..
everything else is a maybe..
- Raxxla is a place (consistent with the 'its in the milky way' quote)
- It holds a 'mystical' secret
- The myth existed well before 2296
- The location of [R] is a deadly secret

Project Dynasty bases are found in Formidine Rift, Conflux and Hawkings Gap; yes, those areas were heavily investigated (including some of the participants in this thread, not just by CoR) and the bases were found together with their log files. I’ve been to the first two areas and there are no nebulae involved.
What makes you think The Club are responsible for a long chain of events that relates to Raxxla myths? From what we’ve seen in-game and Drew Wagar’s two FD-sponsored Elite books The Club are related only to Thargoids and preparations of an elitist minority to leave the majority of humanity behind while they flee a Thargoid invasion to save their own lives, and Salomé’s story was her attempts to reveal those machinations; I don’t think there is any evidence linking the Club to Raxxla, but am willing to be convinced otherwise if you can quote the references. On the contrary Drew Wagar has confirmed that while The Club was his invention, FD required all the book authors to stay off the subject of Raxxla.
Some people on this thread appear to be confused by the fact that Drew also wrote an earlier series of fan-fiction books (the Oolite series) which are very good reads but are most definitely not canon for ED; in that series Raxxla was a moon that appeared at Lave but it was capable of travel through hyperspace. He re-used the Rebecca character from that series as the old lady in his two official ED books.
REAL explorers find Raxxla by parallax
No, no, no!
You stare into the Abyss for Raxxla
The Abyss stares back
You’ve just got to detect the eyeballs!
You forget to mention the trolls, there have been a few of those!
And yes, that Canonn statement about the pictogram originated a couple of years ago when we were trying to decipher it. The trouble is that things get written down & then forgotten about so they don’t get updated.
He never said there where only 2So you're saying it's a binary system?
Good idea
