INRA Base Discoveries

Interesting
Considering there's confirmed "Activity" to be done at stations being targeted (i.e kill goids, stop the attack), I wonder if there's other corresponding activity at the other sites being pointed to?
Oh man this thread was a rabbit hole.
I accidentally the whole thing.
Found I’d posted in here along the way.
Had to pull out a few bits and bobs that would be hard to find laterz.
One thing that hasn’t been done is mapping the clues. Which things have pointers to the next. Which are “easily” stumbled upon (UCB/LP).
At the moment it seems to me that Stuart’s Retreat is the first base.
The other thing that gets a mention a few times is The Northern Edge or the base in the north.
North like Alioth north?
O

Nothing indeed! "This video has been removed by the user". What was it, out of interest?
Now shows up as a Guardian Site when doing the FSS or DSS Scan.
The Data Point is also Recurring with new data each time.
Lots of Mats but some are in difficult locations.
Has anyone followed up on the Message in the Station Logs and visited the System Mentioned??

Yup... it's Hogan Depot, but the designation is wrong. It says 2 D, but it's unlandable. It's meant to be 2 B.
Since Mayes Chemical Plant now scans as a Guardian site, wonder what Hogans Depot scans as.
So many people burning out their supply of brain cells based on FDev not being able to classify POI - oh the humanity
There have been issue with sites disappearing during the patch / update yesterday. The developers are working to restore things. Watch this space...I am currently at the coordinates of Stuart Retreat but I can't see anything there. Have these bases been moved/removed? Do I first have to get something else before I can visit those sites. Thought they are permanent objects?!
Don't you mean the people who killed CMDR JamesonINRA, the heroic saviours of humanity are back?
Can be both. You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs...
New base added. Thank you.
Given, that if Lave is a dictatorship when events start with TDW novella and first game it places events post-First Thargoid War (minimum of 3174). This is beginning to look like a convincing case that J. Saunders of INRA is the alternative identity for a certain Federal Navy Special Ops character by the pseudonym Jaques. Klatt Enterprises and possibly Stack is notable for the voice actor's lack of Imperial accent. Klatt Enterprises also based on logs at the site, appears to predate Stack and this is important because both were test sites for Mycoid. I think it is entirely possible Klatt Enterprises and Stack are the other INRA (Imperial Navy Reserve Arm). Time will ultimately tell on this one. Just remember, the joint superpower initiative named INRA does not exist until 3193 and yet the First Thargoid War ended in 3151 per GCS Saravasti. Thargoids reappearance didn't get detected because GalCop's Project Equinox was already decommissioned. We may well have been continuously fighting Thargoids since the 2800s-2900s or earlier. One other quirk, Frontier and First Encounters happen the same centur,y so their disappearance may have only been briefly.It's at least a person on the same wave-length as Saunders.
Saunders was a true Thargoid hater. He was also an excellent pilot and wing leader.
Perhaps the only one to ever receive 'Supreme Knight of the Shining Arc' order from the Emperor. Which is quite impressive for a Fed.
There are a bunch of articles on Saunders in the FFE Journals(Ctrl-F is your friend): http://www.dream-ware.co.uk/first-encounters/journals/all/
A lot of them are in connection to the player missions and can probably be discounted as a valid source. They do however give a glimpse of his personality.
I thought Jaques was the cyborg barman...
Yes, but there was a century or so where he ran missions to purchase then sell Peter's Base (coriolis) and then buy outright Jaques Station (orbis).
The first game starts in 3125. This is during the frist Thargoid war. The player character John Jameson 'ends' the first war, with a Mycoid attack.
The TDW novella is not dated, but it most likely sett some time before 3125.
The second game 'Frontier Elite 2' starts in 3200. Except for an Easter egg, there are no signs of Thargods at all.
Saunders was ingame active in the 3250s, during the third game 'Frontier first encounters'. This is where we first hear about INRA. INRA had of course been active for at while at that time. He must have been of age at that time, as he is described as a veteran of the first war.
Saunders has not been mentioned at all in ED and can not be considered part of ED lore.
No, it absolutely doesn't. Allen Stroud even personally confirmed Lave was always intended to be a dictatorship when everything kicks off even in Elite Dangerous. This has always been the plan because the TDW novella. 3174 is the earliest possible date because of the dictatorship but could have happened anytime before December 31st, 3199. Which means, Project Equinox being shuddered happens before Lave becomes a dictatorship. I believe there is a GalNet that states there was a sudden withdrawl in 3151 but similarly is covered in GCS Saravasti. They just couldn't be detected because the network to safeguard the Bubble was shutdown. This has the unnerving implication that we have been almost continuously "fighting" Thargoids since at least the 2800s to 2900s at minimum. At this point, I would pray we just didn't undo all the progress that may have been made by Alliance if those rumors are actually accurate. Salvation may have royally screwed up everything. Hint: the Alliance rumors likely are true due to the Cereberus Plague events which eerily match with Sohalian Fever. You had heaven all along and threw it all away. Karma is going to suck. Enjoy rebuilding.
"History of Lave" beacon:
One of the oldest colonies of the sector, Colonial Deep Space Cruisers Herschel and Oberon reached the system then designated L-453 in 2412. Lave has been a Dictatorship from before the fall of the Galactic Cooperative. In 3174, Dr. Hans Walden came to power.
Walden established an authoritarian Dictatorship. The previous economic hardship brought about by the fall of the Galactic Cooperative were still remembered. Under Walden there was stability, just not prosperity.
Walden's rule was very long, and rumoured to involve genetic manipulation as he greatly extended his own life, with his eventual death at the hands of an assassin triggering a revolution.
