“This is Salvation. In light of recent speculation, we are rebranding Taurus Mining Ventures as Azimuth Biotech. My intent is to prove that Azimuth has no further need to conceal its operations.”
“Two centuries ago, Azimuth’s pioneers first acquired evidence of the alien creatures now referred to as Thargoids. My research division focused exclusively on studying this life form and preparing for the inevitable inter-species conflict. When Azimuth Biochemicals was commercially overtaken by Pharmasapien over a century ago, I ensured key assets and personnel were removed from company records prior to the acquisition. We continued our research in secret, free from shareholders and corporate espionage.”
“Since then, my team has led multiple projects to develop necessary advancements for the inevitable war. Our work with INRA on the mycoid virus was one early success. More recently, locating the Proteus in Trapezium Sector YU-X c1-2 provided us with a key breakthrough in weaponising Guardian technology.”
“My anti-xeno superweapon has already saved billions of lives. Azimuth Biotech is currently developing the next generation of this weapon, with which I intend to permanently cripple the Thargoid war machine.”
“Caleb Wycherley is no more, but his accomplishments laid the foundations for the man I have become. A man whose life goal has always been to save humanity from extinction.”
To me this Reads that "THE WITCH" Caleb Wycherley is no more, Azimuth Biotech allowed him immortality, and he has been hiding out, in the "The Witches Reach".
So what does this have to do with Raxxla, well not much, but also lots at the same time?
Raxxla is from before "Calebs Wycherly's and Commander Jamesons) time and dates back hundreds of years prior.
One of the game lore things that we keep forgetting about is that 2 sorts of Faster than Light travel exists.
Frame Shift Drive, is a space folding/compressing Alcubierre drive and it's been the ONLY form of space travel available to humans for 1000 years. Hence the bubble being small, and yet we can jump hundreds of light-years in one go right now.
The Hyperspace tunneling, which was invented by sirius corp pioneered by the Antares, is reversed engineered thargoid tech.
Despite the failure of the Antares, it took the Sirius corporation to create a stable version decades later, a year or so before "the game launched",
A similar drive was around during the first thargoid war, back in Jamesons and Calebs time, and it too was reversed engineered thargoid tech, but required a different fuel, so it died out shortly after the war.
Both of these drives, designed 200 years apart were sourced by the only available place with thargoid relics, Raxxla.
According to the lore, Raxxla might have already been discovered, and one of the secret syndicates is sitting on it. Right now, Raxxla was re-discovered by "The Sirius Corporation" because they invented the Antares drive.
There are little story nodes dotted around the place about how the Antares drive game to "be", from launch points of explorers who then disappeared. only to return to sirrus corp months later with a thargoid ship, using just supercruise.
