The Quest To Find Raxxla

I don't think FD are afraid to move stuff around, a bit. If Raxxla is a planet / moon like it's described in the Dark Wheel, the thing that actually does something (alien construct / portal / ophalos rift / monolith) may have moved. It could have started in orbit and been moved to the surface, with the Horizons or Odyssey release (depending on type of atmosphere).

As long as Raxxla isn't found, they can update it.

I have a question. Every time a system is discovered, it is generated procedurally. With this in mind, wouldn't it be obvious that if Raxxla exists in the game it would be within a system that has already been discovered? Because if it's not discovered, it doesn't really exist in the game, right?

I actualy think we could take a different approach to Raxxla what this thread. Correct me if I'm wrong but they actualy never confirmed you could find Raxxla in the game, but that it is somewhere out there. What if it's part of the storyline and not yet accesable? We could find clue's first in storyline based POI's about Raxxla. Maybe do a mission to find more listening posts?

No system exist, when you aren't in it. They don't get put in a server, when they are discovered. It's still just a key that is put in a generator, when you jump in.
The server basically just stores what you can see in the log files.

In the hope that FD actually follow this thread
PLEASE enable my download of the Odyssey OST which I have paid for in the EDO Alpha. When I login to the store it shows as available with unlimited download in the My Downloadable Products tab, yet when I click on the download icon I just get
AccessDeniedAccess DeniedJ3JN74V9801N3WM0puacPJLJK03HtKJXKXAb1TrsVXzva1eJMacwvQ4mQtf9h5LDAwiQeiiQ/omNTUjX0oaeuLuf7xA=

I'm not the only one with this issue, and it has been raised through the Issue Tracker!

Maybe I have not been able to express myself well, English is not my native language. What I mean is that the undiscovered systems don't have any log files, there is no information about them until they are discovered by someone. Is this correct? That's why I say that Raxxla must be in some already generated system not one yet to discover.
Or what you mean is that Raxxla can be added to the server anytime if the correct system is discovered?

I'd suggest they both exist and do not exist simultaneously in a quantum state until they are actually observed at which point their physical state is confirmed and no longer in quantum limbo o7

And for the record, it wouldn't technically be a waste if you've spent years looking for some thing in the game if the pursuit of that thing was a pleasure in itself, right? That's really nice, right?

well i have always thought the "door thats a key' was talking about the frame shift drives. and "place thats not a place" was hyperspace/witchspace. and the hyperspace tunnels we jump through seem to have 6 light pillars that form raxxlas green logo the ones that you see comming off the star your jumping, to with our hud targeting the middle part of the logo. and we can only jump solo... i know its just space madness talking, theres no way fdev would make us search for years to say "Raxxla is the name of the wormhole everyone frameshift jumps through".... right?

The frame shift drive is the single key to the whole of this experience, isn't it? What if, as I joked with an old friend a while back about the ending of this video, it happens to be the case that FDEV happens to know- and I'm referencing the supercruise stream where they had the resident psychologist on staff discussing Odyssey, that the experience of being in the galaxy- in whatever way you choose to explore it- and the wonder, aggression, hope, and anguish of the experience is the place, that mystery within that is human experience, from 1984 until the first generation ships left Sol, until Arissa took the Imperial throne, until now?

What if that's the real frame shift, that wormhole, that place that isn't a place?

that actually sounds logical. more logical than one of my thoughts that raxxla isnt a planet at all and is actualy a generation ship with a prototype hyperdrive.
Or even crazier it is a planet but the star of its system is surrounded by a alien Dyson Sphere.

Anyway, I decided to follow up on that idea I posted earlier and found my way over to Ptolemy, thinking there might be something people might have missed over at Barnard. I didn't find anything other than a single jump over to Galileo, which leads me to think that the whole Raxxla situation really is FDEV's grand vision finale for their exploration-focused pilots, and a couple of out of the ordinary "Align with escape vector" prompts while FSD charging out of the asteroid belts, which a few theories have mentioned as a possibility- Raxxla being a hidden planet being located in a region out of visible light and for whatever reason inaccessible to FSS. I followed it up with a trip to Ronemar in the Witch Head nebula, which is just an Alliance outpost with lots of Thargoid activity, which also led me to think about some of the theories that have tied the Thargoids to Raxxla and the INRA Thargoid connection- which I briefly touched on in one of my previous story arcs- and that weird thing that happened between me and one of the Thargoid pairs during hyper diction. With the Aegis disappearing, it made me wonder if anyone's attempted anything like bring Guardian relics into Thargoid space to get hyperdicted and then approached them, possibly triggering some signal or hidden listening-post type thing on the interceptors themselves. Anyone?

I finally visited the grave site in Tionisla. Received the encoded transmission and have been reflecting on the message.
"The vain queen rides a giraffe that remembers her daughter's hero."
The most common translations refer the vain queen to Cassiopeia, the giraffe to Camelopardalis, and the daughter's hero to Perseus. There are several links between these 3 constellations as they are in relatively close proximity with each other but I don't think it's a blatantly obvious map to anything.

Also, there is no reference of Camelopardalis in the myth of Cassiopeia offering her daughter (Andromeda) to appease a monster who is later saved by Perseus. Camelopardalis itself has no known mythology and is referred to as a "modern" constellation. I have chosen to omit Camelopardalis from my investigation as nothing more than a diversion used to create a clever riddle.

I feel the most common connection between these is Andromeda.
While mapping out the stars that make up the Andromeda constellation, I can not find the star Buna (HD 16175).

If you disagree with my reasoning I completely understand. All I am looking for is help in locating the star Buna (HD 16175). I have found no reference to it in any relation to Elite and this is really puzzling me.

Edit: Thanks to CMDR Jack Wilmslow for the alternate designation, HIP 12191. o7
