Can anyone give me a link to the video where they look at Sol and one guy is asked to look away?
The Quest To Find Raxxla
- Thread starter Macros Black
- Start date
I came to that conclusion three years ago and went there. Searched it good. Landed and stayed there for a few days looking at alignment of stars and earth from that vantage point. Found nothing unique or worth reporting. Not to say Odyssey did not click something on, so it may be worth another visit. I doubt it, as this search has been going on since the birth of Elite. If Fdev put it in, they did it long ago and the location would not have changed. We only have two clues:, "There will be no clues" and "its in the game".
At this time, there seems to be no point in pursuing it. Some newbie will stumble upon it, report it, get credit for it, and the search will be over.
I’ve hypothesised that Raxxla is in Sol for some time now, based on the existence of an alien artefact on Mars. I believe Raxxla to be one of the Guardian arkships; and, as Han Zen says, think Guardians are the basis for the Greek creation myths and thats behind the frequency of their appearance throughout ED. However I dont think Raxxla has anything to do with Persephone. We know Raxxla has been in-game since the gamma (2014?). Persephone is the newest “outer rim” of the solar system - The Guardians 2.2 update (25Oct2016) added Persephone (Planet Nine), Haumea, Makemake, Eris, Orcus, 2002 MS4, Salacia, Quaoar, 2007 OR10 and Sedna to Sol.
A valid hypothesis has to address all parts of the evidence we have (the toast in this case).

Alrai Sector JR-V b2-4 is the nearest (6.52 ly) from this coordinates. Somebody checked it out?I think if you drill down you will get better results - What I did was go to the borders and zoom all the way in and then move the cursor till the text changes from one galactic sector to another... there is your line - then try to find a system that straddles that border (or gets pretty close) - thats what I was doing. Also the lines do not match up with the grid lines - the lines that define the galactic sectors are related to the galaxy map in the codex ... which is not the grid map. It has the zero point where we are looking - not at sol.
I do like that they came out pretty close either way though - just a matter of moving around in that column - maybe we will find something
hmmm other thing that bothers me about the codex map is - Why is it divided into 93 slices.... three 'quarters' of 23 and one of 24 slices.... very annoying. Unless it was just a way to convey the numbers 23 / 46 / 69 ?

Neptune can be seen as the original 'obfuscated on the outer rim'. Neptune and Uranus were unknown in classical times. The were only discovered after good telescopes were developed. Neptune was discovered last of them and still mark the outer rim of planets, in our solar system.
Yes indeed, I think Raxxla is connected to the Guardians. Or at least the Guardians play a bigger part in the upcoming lore, like Halseys vision. Maybe Raxxla isn't a timemachine but rather let's people view the past/future. Anyhow I think the Guardians are still alive in some way or form.
still not convinced that saying has anything to do with the location. its a toast. why would it reveal the location of the most secret thing in the galaxy. additionally its a saying by the faction LOOKING for raxxla. not the people that know where it is... and when you read into it it comes across as just that a toast ABOUT the SEARCH for raxxla.
To the jewel that burns on the brow of the mother of galaxies! ------ kind of ambiguous and probably the only interesting part of the toast as mother of galaxies is pretty specific.
To the whisperer in witch-space, ---------raxxla is the thing that whispers in witchspace.
the siren of the deepest void! ----------- raxxla is the siren of the deepest void.
The parent's grief, -----------raxxla is the parents grief. causing the parents children to die searching for it. or something else sinister.
the lover's woe, -------------the same as above. just like the submarine called "the widowmaker" many things have been called similar. just means itll kill the lovers partner.
and the yearning of our vagabond hearts. -------------well we are all yearning to find it, that much is clear.
To Raxxla! ------to raxxla. they are just cheering to raxxla as anyone would cheer to anything for a toast. not saying to/to travel to/to make a voyage to..
as much as id like to believe the toast is a clue it makes no sense that it would be given the toast is made by the dark wheel. a faction as i said that is searching for it. not hiding its location.
if it was as simple as taking the 6 lines and figuring out whatever constellation/star system/planet they referred to then raxxla would have been found years ago. the teams dedicated to exploring and searching the galaxy like the canonn research group and other people have done FAR FAR FAR more complex puzzles and found stuff before. code breaking. audio decryption. hidden websites. the list of puzzle mechanics goes on. 6 reference points from a well know toast? even if they did lead towards a beacon with a code the beacon would be public knowledge by now..
kind of a downer post i know. but a little reality check is often needed to get people searching in the right direction.

I think you nailed it. You're right.
I think @SpocksOdddSocks is still outthataways. He didn’t come home after DW2. He stared into the Abyss,
got some popcorn
and settled down to enjoy the show

Well, I suspect Raxxla may be a time machine,
in that if you find it you might find yourself transported to a World of Dinosaurs,
and The Dark Wheel did find it-
they’re the zookeepers!
P.S. if do you find it do not hide out in the toilets!
I'm having a bug or feature moment in Spica, at the moment. I'm trying to fly to the gravity centre of the system, in the orrery map. That should be simple as this is a binary system with two large stars, about 12 AU apart.
When flying from Spica (smaller star) to Spica B (larger star), my marker jumps shortly before I get it to the centre. It ends up way out on the far side of Spica B.
I can't be bothered to bug report it. Has anyone had similar issues, in other systems?

Maybe try renaming your ship "Experiencing a Significant Gravitas Shortfall"?? Oh wait, forgot, there is a "feature" that ship names can't be that long either. Maybe just "Lack of Gravitas"?I'm having a bug or feature moment in Spica, at the moment. I'm trying to fly to the gravity centre of the system, in the orrery map.

Edit: I'd try to confirm the bug for you but I'm busy reinstalling That Other Spaceship Game.
ahh nice - will have to try thatAlrai Sector JR-V b2-4 is the nearest (6.52 ly) from this coordinates. Somebody checked it out?

Havent tried it in other systems... but just tried it in Spica myself ... yup same issue.
edit: Just tried it in Synuefe CF-P c22-32... same issue.

Speaking of Spica... when looking up Spica (Virgo's brightest star) and surrounding stars and constellations, it made me wonder if that first line of the alleged toast, if it is indeed a clue, might be referring not to Cassiopeia, who would only be mother of one galaxy if we take the mythological angle... but instead referring to the Virgo constellation which contains a galaxy cluster and is also part of the Virgo Super Cluster. Hundreds of galaxies, basically. That sure would qualify as the mother of all galaxies.
There is also this asterism with Spica at its southern end, called the Great Diamond. Won't help us much narrowing it down, but if we try and assign the lines of the toast to a stellar object, Virgo as the mother of galaxies makes more sense, astronomically speaking.

This is why I went to Spica. It's at Right ascension: 13h 27m 49.926s / Declination: -11° 24'57.536'' and it has mother and jewel aspects. I thought it might be a good starting point, for a little search. I was going to look for nearby stars at Right ascension: 13h 37m / Declination: -10°, but I got caught up in the jumping orrery.
