The Quest To Find Raxxla

Nah, it’s Sunday and the sun shone!Couldn't be because of their rapid expansion across the bubble or anything
Yeah, I hit it on the way back in (see note above about its designation in Simbad).
Yep, makes sense for it to be the true centre of Ophiucus Dark Region. Some of the nebulae are a little off position!
Yeah it was fdev I remember that well however the statement is wrong considering there is many real life interstellar other galaxy systems that are within Elite dangerous.... Its wierd

Maybe technically satellite galaxies aren't necessarily their own entity, in a manner that they are part of the milky way as such

Hmm true but they work the same way that Andromeda is approaching the milky way... Does this mean in fdevs way of looking at it Andromeda is technically "part" or to become part of the milky way.... Food for taught
May i ask what region that was?

The Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy is a tempting suggestion... It very close and is in a polar orbit to the Milky Way, it also apparently has a stream of stars that have been ripped out and are being pulled into our galaxy....
In Beta 1 there was just a small bubble around Eranin. In Beta 2 there was a pill shaped region stretching from Eranin to just short of Sol.
Even most of the systems within the pill changed a bit from Beta 2 to Gamma, as FD changed the proc gen seed.
I don’t think their systems are implemented in-game, they’re just painted onto the skybox background.
If Andromeda was implemented then it would look a darn site better!
The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy would be a good candidate for this theory as well. The main body of the galaxy is apparently only 25,000ly from Sol, the rest was pulled apart into stellar streams, some of which may intersect with our galaxy. I was looking for signs of it a couple years ago before I got burned out.
Canis Major Overdensity - Wikipedia
Didnt it come from one of Drew Wagar's fan fiction stories?
Good to hear you're feeling a bit better!
Yes, I believe so - Mutabilis or one of the Oolite ones which are not canon IIRC. Allen Stroud's official book with the story line around Lave was not Raxxla-related and does not even mention it I think. @Vetinari sorry to hear you have been ill - get better soon.

Hah, @Han_Zen this was amusing, opened up a browser tab just now and typed "Simbad" and google autocorrected it to a "recent" link I used, as usual. But in this case not so recent, and not sure why it's algorithm didn't pick the ones I was using on the weekend as opposed to the one from three or four years ago! http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=BD+66+1673&NbIdent=1&Radius=2&Radius.unit=arcmin&submit=submit+id
EB, P... well, this one isn't a pulsar, but still amusing.

Has anyone visited Adamastor and checked cargo and hackable radio transmitter? I've used hatchbreaker and recon limpets and got no cargo & no data, although the data transfer display seemed to be doing something. Frustrating! But it's probably me misusing them as I've not used these things for a long time.
But apparently in a livestream an FDev said something like "have you checked the cargo and data"?

So Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy in Simbad (referenced as Sgr dSpH) lists 4,115 child objects. Each of those (assuming they are unique stellar objects and not nebulae and rifts and dark regions and the like) will have a list of anywhere from a few to a couple of dozen stellar catalog identifiers, which can be checked in game in the Galaxy Map to see if it actually exists in Elite Dangerous and under what identifier, here is page 1 (of 42...):

Similarly, Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy aka Canis Major Overdensity seems to be referenced as an open cluster as CMa in Simbad, but searching on it tells you to reference it as the subset of the star catalog MWC53 R CMa, which I can't seem to get to work correctly. If anyone figures it out let me know. [Edit: although that may reference the constellation Canis Majoris, not the Dwarf Galaxy. Very confusing. CMa Dwarf and PGC 5065047 don't seem to work at all, so the listing may not be online]
Believers in other galaxies in-game, fill your boots!
