Any idea why Polaris is permit locked?

Spotted it on my way elsewhere and figured it's a famous star, why not drop in. But it's locked and surrounding systems are all empty. What's going on there I wonder?

Feel free for some tinfoil hattery in reply...how about a lost Guardian colony? Or INRA in exile?
 
Theres something thargoid related in there.... just like that system near the pleiades that locked (HIP 22758 is'nt it?)

If we find 2 more isolated systems that are permit locked, we can only assume they are keeping the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse in them....;)

Who knows where the North wind blows.

In FFE Polaris was "The Second Thargoid Forward Staging Area" (the Pleiades was the first) and contained a Thargoid transporter device and guarded by INRA military satellites.

I doubt that's still the case now.

It might still be there. Though I doubt it's still fully active... or is it?

And to think I thought the first bloke (Bob McBobblehead, cheers dude)who suggested this was being tinfoil! Told you my lore knowledge sucked...:S
Thanks

There can be little doubt that Polaris is permit-locked because of the prior association of this system with the Thargoids from the earlier FFE game. Whether there is anything Thargoid-related still in the system in ED, is anyone's guess. "All the permits are there for a reason", including the Polaris one.

I wish I was English like my hero Tj.
Interesting! I wasn't aware of Polaris' association with the Thargoids in FFE. I only ever played Frontier. I feel all enlightened. Lol.
 
I guess you must be allied with the Thargoid to get the permit.

(Going to a close by star, point to polaris in supercruise and just wait for signal sources to show)
