Sometimes I wish Frontier would retract the "No Ship Interiors" stance because this would be the perfect reason to expand on the VR experience. Just being able to move to a room with an Expanse-style hologram of the galaxy map would be awe inspiring.
The Quest To Find Raxxla
- Thread starter Macros Black
- Start date
I've done similar things in the past, but I have access to matlab which makes life easier for me - its an engineer's programming language (the free Octave might be a possibility or else python can probably suffice ). You shouldn't try to load the whole file - parse it byte by byte on the disk - trying to load 100GB into memory is not a good idea. Its just text with nice formatting characters - you can read byte by byte until you get a pair of '[' ,']' and then you know you got a whole system. Etc.
But it seems like you haven't got the skill base for the rest of the task, in which case your only hope is to inspire someone else to do it for you. I'd offer, but I have far too many other things to do, and I'm not inspired enough to overcome my intertia activation energy. I would recommend learning to do it - that way your hunt for Raxxla is achieving something useful

I wanted to return to the basis and thought about the Raxxla's text in the codex:
"To the jewel that burns on the brow of the mother of galaxies!"
But currently there are 3 persons that could describe the mother of galaxies:
Gaia in game doesn't exist but there is "Mother Gaia" that is a faction at sol
Rhea is a planet in SOL
Hera is a system, nothing important reported (no tourist beacon or anything else)
Raxxla's text, IMO, is a map to follow but if we don't follow the exact road, it's useless.
It could also be the locations of Raxxla if it's moving (which makes sense).
So which one do you think is the correct one and why? I googled it but all the explanations seem good
"To the jewel that burns on the brow of the mother of galaxies!"
But currently there are 3 persons that could describe the mother of galaxies:
- Gaia, at the origin of greek titans
- Rhea, daughter of Gaia and mother of greek deities
- Hera, daughter of Rhea. The milk that came from her breast created the milky way in greek mythology.

The Codex could relate to ‘anything’.
The various descriptions etc may / may not describe something in game.
Looking at the Codex for actual, reliable information, well there just isn’t much within it. Other than the date and location identified by the inclusion of Tau Ceti.
Other than those, all other statements are totally open to interpretation.
If the Codex does reference certain locations we can only assume those locations were chosen for a reason.
If we can assume at least one or two are true (if indeed it relates to multiple locations) then we can locate all the others, and then review them to see what they possibly could mean (if we had confirmation they were what we thought they are, as we may just be projecting our own patterns).
I for one like the idea of a series of locations that triangulate another location. It’s an existing process in game, and I personally have found things by triangulation of constellations.
Alternatively they are all arbitrary with no correlation what’s so ever! Or it’s narratively locked, we can never really know until someone finds it.
Your guess is as valid as anyone else’s.
Tin-foiling is inherently open to interpretation and bias, all we have is very limited information other than Tau Ceti, I would presume our best course of action is to compare that against other known facts surrounding / upto that date and location.
We presume FD to be clever and Machiavellian in regards to Raxxla, but they may not be, in RL many solutions revolve around very ordinary and mundane relationships. It’s true humans are good at hiding things, but most of the time they don’t apply overly complex processes, as this actually identifies such Obfuscation… if you want something hidden, you hide it in plain site.
I do suspect we have projected our own desires onto it, making it more or fanciful than it likely is. In all respects we have all probably already been there, worse still, it may have been adapted over time by FD to make it even more Obfuscated…
The fun is looking. I hope we never find it, I hope FD never reveal it.

‘Art Tornqvist’ and his drunk partner ‘Cora’, could be a very big hint, if it was, what does it relate to, it could mean anything or nothing?
“Cora comes home soused and raving with wild stories, a new one every night. She claims she's found a map to some pirate stash, and all I have to do is loan her my ship so we can go dig it up. Maybe we should go find Raxxla while we're at it!”
‘Art Tornqvist’ - the first part ‘Art’ could be a Celtic name meaning ‘bear’ or ‘champion’. It may also be short for ‘Arthur’.
The reference to a bear (champion bear?) could potentially relate to the Ursa Major constellation.
The second element of the name is ‘Tornqvist’ which is Swedish meaning ‘thorn branch’; at present there is no correlation discovered except for a journalist in Galnet named ‘Colm Tornquist’ (Colm meaning ‘Dove’ in Irish) linked to the Imperial Herald and a singular article about the Facece system, birth place of Jaques Orbis Station where there is a planet (I presume a brown dwarf, or is it a Jovian with 8 moons!
Art in the Codex is described specifically as being a ship board mechanic, another description for an ‘Engineer’?
‘Cora’ could be Arts daughter as she is never referred to with a surname, and it is the Latinized version of the name “Kore” meaning “maiden” or “daughter”.
There is another’Cora’ in game, that of a professor ‘Cora Shaw’ who runs the Palin institute however these characters lived thousands of years apart.
‘Kore’ were also feminine statues used as various Ancient Greek idols for various reasons, cults and ceremonies, their exact entomology remains unknown.
‘Kore’ is also the classical Greek mythological name reference for Persephone.
Persephone can be linked to the constellation of Virgo.
Currently I can’t correlate ‘Cora / Kore / Persephone’ with pirates, nor being drunk, but her mother was.
Demeter during her search for her daughter ’Persephone’ drinks a kind of beer, when offered she refuses red wine instead accepting ‘kykeon’ a trippy drink made from water, barley, and pennyroyal; commonly linked to the drug fuelled Eleusinian Mysteries (been here before haven’t we!).
Later in the tale she’s disguised as an old maid and tells a tale of how she was supposedly kidnapped by pirates from Crete escaping to Eleusis.
Pirates did exist in Ancient Greece, the Lipari Islands (Aeolian Islands) were apparently a notorious stronghold of pirate activity (also a tenuous link to Atlantis).
Are there any ‘Anarchy systems’ linked to Engineers or named after Demeter or Persephone or Greek islands?

Isnt Liz Ryder supported by the Eurybia Blue Mafia?
Currently tooling around Eurybia after plotting all relative locations from my report. Seams like as good a place to start than any other.
I doubt being allied with Liz Ryder and the Eurybia Blue Mafia will resolve anything, unless it’s a narrative lock and at some point such ‘actions’ might be needed. But any possibility is as good as any other in the absence of anything conclusive.
Something to do at least!
No shipwreck signals at present to be found here, unless there are listening posts someplace else, pointing here? I’ll keep looking anyway.
My ‘anarchy’ pirates stash concept is pretty simplistic / tenuous; scan every anarchy system in close proximity to Sol etc, based on the ‘pirates stash’ reference, and the absence of any other ‘reliable’ information. I suspect if it’s valid it won’t actually point to Raxxla, but possibly could provide some POI which contains some other reference?
This is as good as a place to start s as far with no incentive to do much else, so will ensconce here for the time being and tool around to see what / if anything occurs.
Then onto the next.
Like any theory I am highly suspicious that such an endeavour may be overly simplistic, and still open to human error. I initially feel Raxxla at some point could have been found just through scanning the system, but I seriously suspect something was altered around 2017, who knows.
Interesting point, after mapping out all of the locations from my report, I noticed Pandemonium actually sits relatively close to Achenar at the base of the sphere of interest. Probably nothing but coincidence?
In the middle of temporal / geospatial mapping to identify (if any) correlations from the various findings I’ve proposed, I’ll update once done.

Anything on system log file?
Maybe a missing body like 2060 Chiron in Sol
Pippi is a princess. Her father is a king and former pirate.
Not Raxxla? Where is this?

So which one do you think is the correct one and why? I googled it but all the explanations seem good
TO
(used for expressing direction or motion or direction toward something) in the direction of; toward:from north to south.
That's how I took that line in the Codex. We are talking about a time when Travel was limited in how fast and how far you could travel. So i dont think we are looking for anything too far away from SOl.
Secondly I belive the jewel to be a direction a heading. I'm still sitting with the fact the mother of galaxies is Cassiopeia. I have other reasons to believe this as well, as the rest of the Codex has 2 other clues in it that suggest the area of space we are looking into is Cassiopeia, Andromeda and Picies.
What i dont have is a start point. or which star is the jewel that burns.
For the jewel, people say either:
- NGC 7822 nebula (look for S171 34 tourist beacon)
- Sirius
For the start, Sol, one of the old worlds? Tau Ceti? I don't know.
Im so glad you said Tau Ceti...On the of codex relates to something in that system. Maybe a Planet that changed its name?
Also Panzers Star... you need to look at that one in relation to where it is in the constellation
"A planet that change its name", i think it's the first time someone say this. Why not.
For Panzers Star, i don't get your point. When i google it, it show me some IRL milittary stuff but nothing related to stars or constellations.
Don't google it, look at it in game.
