If that's the wikia page I just found it's only missing 144 confirmed sites, not really very useful. FP has links to all the sites and also contain all the artifact descriptions, scans etc - all the science

I take it then that the Canonn site has not been updated in a while (https://ruins.canonn.technology/)? I've been out of the ruins hunt for quite a while after failing it twice in a row (net problems getting back the bubble).
I'm such a fraud! I didn't go there, I haven't been to a Guardian site yet, and I haven't even been to Sag A*! I've still managed 4% Pioneer, and I did take a year out, though...
All these things are on my list, and am considering using some explorer missions to force me to go to specific places. Now the Conda can do 45LY (not a great roll I know, but it's alright!) I will be spreading those wings a bit more - after unlocking a few more engineers
I was on 8% Pioneer, but an armed AspX (45ly) trip out to Zurara, the FRift bases, Farsight & Base Camp asteroids plus NGC7822 and another group of Black Holes (Chi Persei) got me to 80%, then an exploraconda (56ly) trip towards Cone nebula probing Col70, California, Oochors Lighthouse & Bruder Grimm then back to Varati got me the final 20%. It's good to have a goal! (Though I failed to get to Cone neb thanks to Col70 and the other NGC 2264 sector lock which I wasn't aware of until I hit the brickwall).
got Rear Admiral promotion yesterday, but postponed the Corvette as I'm not into combat. Still prefer the AspX, though my exploraconda is good for long distances its not so good for planetary search (& I forgot that I'd offloaded the fighter to save weight)

I see that there's already been some answers, but just to come back to the original questions;
Yes, the Regor Sector being right there within the Guardians bubble is known about (although possibly not universally, but then, what is?) and has been discussed. There wasn't enough data to confirm that it's in the middle of the Guardians bubble when I last checked (as we only know the location of 1 point on the edge of the bubble), but it certainly looks like a possibility that it could be in the middle.
Also yes, the idea that the Guardians homeworld could be in there has also been floated. AFAIK though, there's nothing currently to make that anything more than conjecture.
Gamma Velorum (Regor) is in the middle of the Regor Sector and is due to go Supernova fairly imminently IRL - this could be a possible reason for the permit-lock. Can't see anything in that system to tie in with the homeworld lore myself.
There's also Melville's hypothesis that there was an original Guardian bubble which they were forced to migrate from. In Melville's hypothesis it was approximately the size of the human bubble. The implication in the article is that it wasn't the main region. Regor sector itself is approx 100ly in radius and considerably smaller than the human bubble.
It does however seem highly likely that there would be Guardian sites within the Regor sector, and even if it doesn't contain the homeworld it could still be the centre of the main known bubble.
I heard Merope was locked in the beta? I think the beta testing has now ended and the next update is due out on Monday (edit: my bad, it's Tuesday!). Sounds like a good time for a coordinated search of Merope and HIP 17044 for signs of Thargoid presence. Who knows, perhaps the permit lock on HIP 22460 might also be lifted?
Think I saw at least two people separately trying to start this. Anyone need a hand? I gave up organising when I retired, but am willing to lend a (failing) pair of eyes and an AspX! Otherwise I'll start to do something by myself.
I suspect we might want to go back to basics and check out all the asteroid and planetary rings plus all the landable planets, Merope 5C in particular.

Perhaps the as-yet-undiscovered caves will make an appearance in that update?
I think the Canonn site (https://ruins.canonn.technology/) as pointed to on the first page is up to date; Cmdr Factabulous said the Wikia is out of date. The latest (Eta Carina) guardian sites to be found are included in the Cannonn list.
For what it's worth, Merope was locked in the beta for the current live release too.
Follow this logic:
If Merope was locked during the 2.3 beta
And Merope was locked during the 2.3.10 beta
And Maia was locked during the 2.3 beta
And Maia wasn't locked during the 2.3.10 beta
Then
There's something to find in Merope right now that hasn't been found yet.
Of course that logic really depends on whether Maia was locked again during 2.3.10 beta I never logged in to check.

I never logged in to check.At HIP 17044. Have DSS'd the asteroid belt (12 clusters, nothing untoward detected), and have flown eyeballing the rings of planets 2, 3, 3A, and 4. Nothing to report apart from a degraded USS wreck with occupied escape pod at 4 (collected for transport to a safe station) and two distress calls between 1 and 2- one threat 3 with pirates attacking but got there too late in view of four wreckage canisters, and one threat 2 with an asp who needed fuel; I have no fuel drones so had to leave him floating.
Good work! (Sorry about the Asp)

yes, always thought there was something special about Merope, especially 5C with the UA/UP pointing behavours. Want to start looking there but HIP 17044 was on the way from Shinrarta so thought I'd pop in for a shufty (abstruse scientific term!)

Jorki - I think it was yourself in the Formidine Rift thread posted a picture of a yellow circle with a north south east west and a diagonal chord to centre on it. I've been seeing that virtually everywhere ever since, and it looks very like a yellow version of the image decoded from one of the spectrograms taken in a previous canonn thread. IIRC that was deduced to be the planet merope 5C, so I concur that there is something very special planned for that place, but I suspect it hasn't been put either in game or specifically there yet.
I concur Jayridium, given that FDev seem to be more careful in releasing new content these days. After all, I am always reminded of the 'cave' that appeared in the trailer for 2.3 with the Thargoid ship hovering over two SRVs; something we've still not seen if it was intended to be in this patch (Tuesday's update?).
Doesn't ring a bell, have you got an example of that symbol?
The Thargoid nest/cave from that trailer is widely thought to be on HIP 22460 as someone was there & got kicked out to a neighbouring system when it was permit locked; it's still locked so we have never been able to confirm that location. I think the implication of FD phrasing is that there are more of them in-game, but whether that means they're actually accessible at present is open to question.
edit: pootled around canyon diivng on HIP17440 2B and 1D in the hope that one might be there. frontier, really need a graphical means to mark the planet map to show where I've actually been, it's too easy to get lost and repeat search paths. Only found a crashed Imp intel drone on 1D. Delivered occupied escape pod to Alliance research base on my way to Merope, & decided to overnight there.

Question, has anyone ever checked out flaming star nebula for barnacles? there was 1-2 planets that are barny worthy out there, il pass through it at some stage this week but incase anyone comes close to it have a look?
Oh my word yes FD absolutely should be doing this: a planetary 'fog of war' visible on the zoomed-in planet map and perhaps a mini version that could be called up on the SRV/Fighter panel would be the dachsund's danglies.
Yes I started this a while back and gave a week scouring merope and maia and the directly surrounding systems but it's such a huge search area, feels unpossible!
New mega ship found!
Today CMDR Synjorai of Canonn discovered Professor Melville's mega ship in Col 173 Sector LJ-F C12-0!
The mega ship's name is The Cete.
There's been found several ruins in the system as well - counting 5 at the time of posting. Seems like this might have been part of the original way to find the ruins.
