Here hurry this is literally decades old. I'm so glad I wasn't the last person here to have been unaware.

Ah this one ..read it in translation ... "Randomius Factoria" translated as "random factor".
Can't see "fate or fortuna" even close here ..random is random. Fortuna is something who breaks random rules.
In my last game session I complete a tip-off mission from an anonymous stranger after completing some "Founder or Elite" ranked mission for TDW, now I have an "Rescue Mission - Occupied Escape Pods" from another TDW allied partner 'Future of Arro Naga' that I haven't run missions for in quite a while but is on my tracking spreadsheet as having completed FoE missions previously.
Coincidence?
Does anyone know if the mission stack was re-vamped in the September update to offer more random missions directly to pilots?
Or am I being covertly tested...since I've never had one of these before (one can only hope!)?

Used to work on occasions in USA & flown via LAX a few times. Last one was in 2014 when the baggage xray machine broke the zip on my rucksack. Aggressive Rogue AI perhaps?
The only gateway to alien worlds I saw was the departure gate for the Canadian flight...
No Dark Wheel station.
Wasn’t terribly impressed with the business class lounge.
Huh ...i thought my brain glitchso they really changed colors ...well, seems better this way. Can see clearly what is what at fast look.
But the column of power priorities is also showing red.
FD seem to have really borked this update. Bring back beta testing!!!
She is also named “Lady of Fate” in the same book.
Theres an investigation of TO missions over at the Raxxla Hunter's discord - Dja and many other putting in a lot of effort - fine work. I'm sure you will get an answer there..

It depend on how you define the Randomius part.
If you look at randomness as deterministic and you apply a Newtonian / Einsteinian understanding to the universe, the gods and goddesses of fate are applicable. Particularly the Spindle of Necessity form The Myth Of Er, in Plato's Republic, seem fitting. In that case, Ananke and the Fates are the ruling deities.

If you look at randomness as non deterministic, applying a quantum mechanical understanding, I think we probably have to look in the darker regions of mythology. In Greek tradition, this would be going all the way back to Chaos it self.

As the entire game of ED is based on deterministic randomness, I lean slightly to the first explanation. Raxxla is special though. It cold be different.
I would chase it down personally. Who knows if its specifically the invite you want? but it sure can't hurt your rep with them.

There’s also a TO thread, that I think Macros started.
True i am just seeing alot of the symbology being used is taken from the platonic descriptions ... Also I imagine the idea that from a mathematical seed the universe is created - fits in nicely with someone creating a procedural galaxy. Further, I think we are looking at the neoplatonic tradition which incorperates a wider variety of mystery cults... Much room for chaos... But ya im just playing around looking for a common theme.It depend on how you define the Randomius part.

Fdev is a big fan of the RNG god... Maybe so
Knew it was one of you two reprobates!
Well, it’s quite possible that it is randomised, so after I find it it’ll move so you can’t follow me
If you read Terry Pratchett's Discworld series (one of my fav), you'd see The Lady (Luck) vs Fate. The idea of Probability vs Predestination. Free will vs Determinism. The Lady has green eyes & Fate has black eyes. A common motif and I'd expect as good writers, they'd have all done a deep dive. Everything that good writers write about is deliberate. Same with Douglas Adams & THGTTG with the Heart of Gold.
Heart of Gold was powered by an infinite improbability drive, if I remember correctly? upon activation the ship would pass through every point in the universe, and eventually and improbably end up at its destination. Of course, things inside the ship would go oo. Is the key to finding raxxla to build an infinite improbability drive?
Which the Infinite Improbability Drive is of course a golden box, The Heart of Gold for which the ship was named after. It is also called the Golden Bail of Prosperity used in the Wikkit Key to open the Slo Time Envelope.
Metaphors overwritten on top of metaphors again and again like a palimpsest.
By now the mythology should be obvious to a few. The "past" is a map which points to the "future" if you stand at the correct location in spacetime and look up. Various articles in Galnet seems to hint at this.
Perhaps the "past" is all an elaborate SOS sent by one of The Missing, much like the stranding of Arthur Dent & Ford Prefect.
