I defer to the opinions of other, more knowledgeable peeps in this thread as to it being #fakenews. However, the mention if Tionisla caught my eye, only because Drew W was asking recently (on Twitter?) if the graveyard had been added in 3.0. Could it be that Tionisla has some significance in all of this?

Please tell me if I am wrong: in ED game story line, for a planet to have any non procedural name, doesn't it need that the PF actually gives it this name ?
If so, how any unknown planet could appear with any name ? Raxxla will never appear as Raxxla, imho.
(Some time, I must learn to read all the posts before posting mine...ninja'd; I let this one here, too lazy to hexedit it . Out of rep, Thatchinho... (By the way..Thx Mod !)
I was first tempted to make Doc believe it was due to his addiction to that ingnominious Bourbon it is said he is so found of, but ...naaah...too much respect for him
Well if the PF are really the Dark Wheel, or rather the DW is one faction within PF & The Club another.... then PF (or the sneaky beakies that are actually in control of PF) already know all about Raxxla, and probably holiday there twice a year to top up their suntans, rejuvenation levels and tighten up their human skin suits. They’re Guardians I tells ya! Ricardio Bentonio has been telling us all along.
Never really got into bourbon, but treated myself to a bottle of 15year old Dalwhinnie at the weekend. Smooth, but not very long lasting! [blah]
Ricardo Bentonio has been muttering about lizard people from Andromeda in Galnet posts (though admittedly not recently, perhaps the Club got to him?); David Icke apparently theorised that humans descended from lizards in Draco. If these lizards were/are actually Guardians then that might explain some aspects of ED lore.
Or am I rambling in the wrong thread again?

Its very interesting but I'm not exactly sure how it supports a claim that Raxxla is connected to Barnard's Loop. There are lots of very interesting interstellar phenomenon but they can't all be connected to Raxxla.
Please not that I'm not trying to rain on your parade. Its certainly a theory worth pursuing and I'd be 100% behind an effort that would prove or disprove the possible connection.
My checklist is long but I'll report my finds along the way.
•Raxxla Checklist•

I scanned all the Primary stars and Nav Beacons in the 7 primary star systems in Orion but have now decided to do all of the rest making up the whole constellation, then into the Pleiades. Thanks for the respectable response.
My angle is that TAW and TDW are the closest and most reliable information we can draw on for this search. My efforts are an attempt at seeing if the Orion Correlation Theory is in game. In TAW they say that the Oisir built the pyramids as part of the portal machine, the Talmor Lens, and IRL Orion and those pyramids are interconnected. Im looking to bridge the two pieces of information. The great pyramids are said to be the physical representation of Orions Belt. I'm going off of that. I haven't see anyone else try it.

Ah. Pulling out my copy of TAW:
The associate image is "First Men on Mimas" by Graham Wildridge which, unfortunately, is split between pages 18 and 19 making it difficult to scan.
The Talmor Lens is one of the most fascinating aspects of The Alien World, IMHO. Makes me wonder what the Guardians were doing building their structures on all of those small airless worlds.
Dont miss that part where they found Egypt and built the pyramids wrong but built them nonetheless. And also were than known as Horus by the locals. The Talmor Lens really sparked my interest when the newest Guardian site was found and it projects beams of light into the sky. Talmor was my first thought when seeing that.
Yep. And no ... haven't forgotten the pyramids. That part is in my transcript of the main body of text regarding the Oisir-Raxxla sector: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HuDtu7J_IMWF7791wL6Qg6rBgP88JhW9AUoAkWEkwoY/edit?usp=sharing
My thoughts went to the Talmor Lens as well.
...like you did in those comments on the Raxxla-Wiki-page?Or am I rambling in the wrong thread again?

Maybe someone on the page likes bourbon after all ... and also likes commenting on Wikia pages while drinking said beverage.
To anyone,
Try to sum up as short as possible your most important ideas and leads to the riddle. What do you think our closest answer is?
*edit. smh. I now realize that that's we've been doing this whole time.

Discuss.
I invite everyone to join in my personal weekend challenge,
"to binge watch 'Lost in Space' before Trump and Putin start throwing missiles around."
Oh don’t get me wrong, the system’s nice! I spent a while just taking in the starlight! I just meant there was nothing I could spot of Raxxla or other plot significance.
FP, Ref. [8]
On peut être là tout en étant un peu las ...
meaning something like: you can be present even if you are a bit tired ...
The R plot may be... dormant ?
By the way... any news of the SAP 8 Core containers ?

Kudos to Fdev for their simulation of actinic light, sometimes I can almost feel my retinas vibrating.
The trick is the routing. I followed a previous path up and over colon 70 and couldn't route to the target until it came in close to line of sight.
Then we know fdev routing gives up pretty quick for the sake of speed, "just cuz ya can't route there don't mean ya can't get there".
Plot what plot,,, an assumption of concern is "finding evidence of the real existence of Raxxla" as meaning he had been there?
yes it does
no it dosn't
ad nausium
Founders World. Hidden in plain sight, controlled by the PF, Dark Wheel in orbit, Elite rank to access. Not too close to core worlds, well within what could have been found 500 years ago, not on normal maps, didn't exist in any other game. PF are hyper rich. Elites retire to surface (through Gate) when they get bored of this universe. No city lights Because they all go through the gate.
[OFFTOPIC]I have to work this weekend
Though I did just sign up for a free month of Netflix just for Lost in Space. I'll be binge watching it along with a few other shows during my free month. Then I'll cancel the service again and probably won't reactivate until the next season of Stranger Things.[/OFFTOPIC]
Back to Raxxla though; I'm still not convinced that the missing city lights on The Founders World is a big deal. The population of the entire system is pretty small; just 85 million (and that includes those living at Jameson Memorial and the other facilities in the system).
There are quite a few possible explanations for the missing lights:
1. The entire population on The Founders World may be located at a single settlement. Since the length of a day is 42 earth days you may simply be viewing the planet when that settlement is not on the dark side.
2. The planetary population might be nomadic in order to avoid spending 21 days in total darkness.
3. The surface population might be so widely dispersed that no single settlement produces enough light to be visible from orbit.
1. I don't think the Elite spacers of the galaxy would retire to a planet - at all. (sure, some might, or use it a holiday home, but I can't see millions of Elites just saying "yeah, I'm bored of space totally now, time to spend the rest of my life dirtside" I don't think that, as a general idea, makes sense at all.
2. If they did, I don't think they'd pick a planet where you spent a month in darkness and a month in daylight if you don't move every single "day". They could pick any planet, even one wayyy outisde the bubble - they're the Elites, who is going to stop them?
3. I don't buy the "distributed population" idea since humans are social animals. Sure, some would definitely want remote log cabins and like spending time, even years, in near-isolation, but humans form communities and clumps, it's just who we are. I don't think there would be no large settlements at all.
They picked Founder's World for a reason. I can't see any reason so many veteran spacers would choose to live on a planet in large numbers.
85million is not so small on a planetary scale, it's basically the entirety of Germany:
I think if there was any sort of city, even a small one, you'd be able to see it. It's entirely possible that the entire population lives in totally isolated houses, or they don't "light pollute" much, maybe there's some sort of conservation efforts, etc. But since people here are talking about ancient Egypt and drawing lines from Pyramids and scouring star systems for long-duration planetary bodies that don't appear in starmaps or suggesting that Raxxla is in witchspace or that it's a rogue planet somewhere, I don't think suggesting there's no night-side lights on Founders Worlds because the population go through the Raxxla gate is that far fetched, on the scale of things

As I've said previously ... what we need to do is find another system that has a population similar to that of Shinrarta Dehzra and see if the Earth-like world in that system has night time lights.
While 85 million might seem like a large enough population to put off some visible light pollution that still doesn't answer the question of just how many of that 85 million are actually residents down on the surface. What is the typical operating population of a Coriolis station? And how much of that population is spread out at the other non-Founders World settlements located in the system? That 85 million includes Jameson Memorial, Gallun's Inheritance, Jameson Base, Neumann Camp, and Puleston Arsenal. If we can find some systems where the only human population is located in a Coriolis then we can get a good idea just how many people are potentially living in Jameson Memorial.
Instinct suggests that the majority of the 85 million inhabitants would be down on the surface of The Founders World but instinct in this case could be very wrong. If the surface population is limited to Elites who would actually live long enough to want to retire planetside then actual planetary population might be very small indeed. The majority of the 85 million might not be down on the surface of the Earth-like world at all.
All I'm suggesting is that there are a few items that we need to do some research into before we start pointing to the missing city lights as a breakthrough in the search for Raxxla. I'm just as intrigued by their absence as anyone and one of the best parts of this theory is that there are a few things we can do to try and prove/disprove it.
