I think I know where Salvation is...?

I think I know who Salvation REALLY is... something didn't feel right when I saw the bald head. (I know Arthur don't mind a bit of good natured fun with images 😅 )

Could be an origin point from where they came from pointing to a point leading to a separate galaxy. the center only has 2 arms in its spiral galaxy so its not the milkyway
That origin point is not moving because is the system portal between their galaxy and ours. It is clearly Raxxla :)
 
Don't bet much on this Drake class FC... Frontier is just reusing assets. Essentially cutting corners instead of creating real CGI cinematics.
I wouldn't necessarily dismiss reusing assets as "cutting corners" in this case. They just spent a ton of effort to build a bridge asset for carriers after all, I'd imagine you'd get much nicer results filming there than in something hastily knocked together.

Leaving the ship name as "Nemesis" instead of "Bright Sentinel" is either extremely sloppy, or a big ol' clue. It's next to zero effort for them to rename a carrier for the purposes of filming, presuming they took the footage in-game as opposed to a dev environment under their full control. I don't buy for a second "oops the dev's carrier is named Nemesis and we can't change it" as an explanation.

Like Ian I don't put too much weight on the details of the starfield, especially as it does seem to have been flipped and otherwise subjected to some nonlinear editing. The exception that I'm quite interested in - at the end the camera zooms and pans to an unremarkable bit of space before the new Thargoid sound effect plays. That feels like a clue, or at least a teaser - even if it's just reinforcing the message of "something new is coming" it rather suggests that the whatever is coming from over thataway. As teasers (i.e. not meant to be "solved" right away) go, pointing in a direction that doesn't reference any specific system works well enough.
 
“He was still in his command chair, surrounded by shattered fragments of cybernetic implants, his portable medical sensors dormant..."

I refuse to believe this was Salvation. That he was stupid enough to put himself on board the bright sentinel when he quite clearly possessed the technology to create a stand-in. His body never moved in the transmission before the weapon fired, we never saw his face. This is a coverup alright, but not for FDev's shoddy reuse of assets to cobble together a cinematic, but a coverup of Salvation's death.

He's not dead. The Constructs are coming. War is upon us.

He's dead. What we saw was just the dramatic reenactment. 😜

Pretty sure he is not.
=> The report is second hand account by freelancers employed by Azimut Biotech, which have all interest in extinguishing the fire by pretending the culprit is dead.
=> The Nemesis label we saw on the cutscene wasn't FDev mistake, but Azimut Biotech's. They didn't expect such an outcome, and didn't blur or otherwise alter the ship name.Salvation will be back.

I know he's not dead because I saw him down the bar last night drinking Lavian Brandy with Elvis 😁
 
So the "Nemesis Failsafe" on the latest GalNet update sure has my hairs up that my initial suspicions were correct on this. He wasn't on the ship that was destroyed, but his body was. Left there to be found among the wreckage to make people think he was dead while he broadcasted from another location.
