The Quest To Find Raxxla

I like give an additional information of the word brow could also mean. The summit of a hill pass.

I ran into to this post on a website earlier which I found it interesting

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underworld
In the study of mythology and religion, the underworld is a generic term approximately equivalent to the lay term afterlife, referring to any place to which newly dead souls go. In most cultures the term refers to a neutral or dystopic realm of the afterlife, instead of a heavenly or paradisiac one. Sometimes the underworld is identified as "Hell" because Hell is thought to be under the Earth.

Nun, the Great Mother Water Goddess, residing at the Primordial Mound = Hill (= Hell) in the Milky Way River Center (Sagittarius Constellation) in the southern Earth hemisphere.

Yes “brow of a hill” is the “crown”/top of the hill, just before the slope down the other side.

It seems that Hell is named after the Norse goddess Hel, did look it up but cant remember what she was goddess of. Given the biblical connotations nothing pleasant.

That screenshot statement doesn't totally convince me. Sorry but it's just that I no longer trust anything coming from FD in matter of consistency and sensibility...

I get your point, but if we can't trust the sparse information we do have, then we better start bute forcing 400 billion systems and hope FD did really put it in the game!

I’ve been entertaining the thought that TDW station could be a hollowed out asteroid station floating in a sea of other asteroids in the ring of a planet. A star is technically a gas giant, just with a lot of fusion reactions going on, so it could be the 8th body orbiting a star..

I agree with Pete. While TDW (& by implication the Codex) might lie to us, as part of obfuscation, I think this interpretation is too far off the codex text to be likely. The codex says explicitly that it’s a dark (low-powered & stealthy) wheeled station (Orbis, but probably of an old type that is smaller and visually somewhat different from the current ones) that orbits an 8th moon. I think it’s worth checking around all 8th moons (including any submoons, just in case), as well as any submoon(s) of that 8th moon.

I seriously doubt any religious connotations, for reasons of "excluding" or "alienating" sections of the player base

EDIT: Unless it relates to Randimious Factoria of course! :p

Yep Nun or Nu was the oldest Egyptian Goddess

https://www.britannica.com/topic/Nun-Egyptian-god

Nun, also spelled Nu, oldest of the ancient Egyptian gods and father of Re, the sun god. Nun’s name means “primeval waters,” and he represented the waters of chaos out of which Re-Atumbegan creation. Nun’s qualities were boundlessness, darkness, and the turbulence of stormy waters; these qualities were personified separately by pairs of deities. Nun, his female counterpart, Naunet, and three further pairs together formed the Ogdoad (group of eight gods) of Hermopolis. Various Egyptian creation myths retain the image of the emergence of a primeval hillock formed of mud churned from the chaotic waters of Nun. Since it was believed that the primeval ocean continued to surround the ordered cosmos, the creation myth was reenacted each day as the sun god rose from the waters of chaos. Nun was also thought to continue to exist as the source of the annual flooding of the Nile River.

Edit: Fun fact: Nun also referred to as Naunet had no gender Nun was the male name and Naunet was the female name.

Yeah, right. Most important is to have fun playing the game. I just trade FD 'information' for FD 'intoxication' too easily, perhaps.
Anyway, as the psycho-Penguin said... nobody is meant to find that station unless invited. Besides it avoids detection as FD tells us.

It's also worth noting that FD can modify proc. gen systems, after their generation. They can both insert assets and modify Stellar Forge objects.
An example of this is Hypuae Aim ZP-R b48-0 that has a gas giant, named Travis Green. This one has been in the game since launch. Probably named by a backer.

It's also worth noting that even though I have fully explored Hypuae Aim ZP-R b48-0, Travis Green is not searchable in the galaxy map.

Interesting that something exists in-game that is not searchable in the galmap. I suspect this is a bug, possibly they renamed the gas giant for the backer but didn’t change its original name in the Stellar Forge database, so “Travis Green” is only in the system map/description. Worth reporting as a bug though, just to see their reaction?

Edit: have you tried searching for it using the normal naming convention? Never tried doing that for a gas giant, not sure if it works...

So Nun/Nu might be in-game, have you tried searching for it? Though being a male god couldn’t fit the “mother of galaxies” (possible) clue.

I did look up female astronomers the other week as a possible solution for “mother of galaxies”. Seem to remember Vera Ruben (alexzk) mentioned her the other day) cropped up as an associate of Edwin Hubble, who might justifiably be called the “father of galaxies”. But couldn’t see how Vera Ruben (or the others) might fit in-game. Might be worth someone else trying, sometimes my searches don’t seem to work. Of late I can’t even get EDSM to tell me of black holes within a radius from a reference system, even though it was successfully doing this last week. Perhaps the Club have hacked my web browser, or maybe I’ve been hexedited;
what are we looking for?

I quoted yday - Forbes called her "mother of dark mater universe".

That’s right (sorry, couldn’t remember your name properly, just looked up your previous post & corrected my text). I think she was also involved in developing the galaxy classification system attributed to Hubble, hence the “mother of galaxies”, but can you find a “Ruben” in-game?

Edit: finally found the notes I made. I have as possibilities for " the mother of galaxies" Cassiopeia. Black Hole, gravity, big bang, dark matter, & female astronomers: Nancy Grace Roman, Jocelyn Bell Burnell, Vera Rubin, Margaret J Geller, Sandra Faber, (Hanny van Arkel?), Martha Liller

There is a Vera Rubin Complex in the Colonia region (Garuda A 1 b).

A couple of notes, sometimes mentioned before, as words of caution:
TDW toast is 'alleged'
Lyta Crane might be an 'unreliable narrator'. If you were in TDW or knew of their HQ's whereabouts, would you tell people or give hints to where to find them? Would you even want them to go looking, given that the group membership is 'invitation only'? If you were in The Club, I think the answer to both those is 'yes', since they'd want them (or their HQ) neutralised.

Mmm, wonder why I couldn't find it. I guess such galmap searches are passed back to Stellar Forge? Perhaps the Forge had gone cold when I tried it? or The Club are monitoring & interfering with our searches! (Paranoia is the third stage of Raxxla madness!). 🙃

As always you are correct, but we have to start somewhere, else we’ll be brute forcing 400 billion systems, which would not be fun and that’s why we play the game. I reason that making such a bold statement in the Codex (I think now our only source of canon lore since the galnet fluff reveal) then FD are providing clues to offset their retconning. They may be partially misleading (obfuscation) but should not be total lies; otherwise FD will be hit by such a perfect storm of salt it would put the Salomé Event salt mountain to shame. And I think they would consequentially lose a good portion of their player-base.

It might be that TDW station is not orbiitng the 8th moon of a gas giant, but maybe the seventh, or it’s orbiting a submoon of the 8th, or a similar twist. It might be an asteroid base as discussed in a previous post (but I doubt that one). After 5 years We have had no intimation that anyone has received any such TDW invitation, so I think that is fluff and once the station’s found there may be a test to pass before admittance (knowing FD it will probably involve fighting off 100 elite FDL, simultaneously!). I am dubious whether finding TDW station and gaining admittance will lead to Raxxla; in Holdstock’s book (retconned & no longer canon lore) they’d “lost it” so unlikely to know where it is. We can speculate all we want, but we don’t have a solid clue or information on Raxxla other than “it exists”, FD “know where it is”, “it’s in the Milky Way”, parts of it are “a little bit obvious”, and it involves “a journey we all must make” (still think this involves death somehow, so have some sympathy for mythology-based hypotheses, but it may be a physical journey-into a BH, out to Colonia, .....)

Edit: I’m getting a bit jaded of trying to fly into BH. I’ve done about 30 now, or maybe it just seems that many due to the long flight out (300kls is typical) to many of them. Might try a different hypothesis for a while.

Totally with you there. My cynicism tells me that the Codex image is just a pretty picture, but once in a blue moon Fdev prove me wrong. This might be one of those times.

By the way, I always took the RR line as a direction to the Rift, not an exact bearing to the 'mystery site'. Would have been a remarkable coincidence otherwise, no?

Oh.. I was convinced that Rebecca pointed us to the ~exact mYsTeRy, inside the RR tube. But as you probably know I also was convinced that it was about ghosts, dragons and Raxxla... It turned out in a different way and proved you right. No wonder nobody found the stranded ship until DW held our hand. So...FD-esque. Then, actually, I wont bet on any particular interpretation of the "clues" we currently have.
