The Quest To Find Raxxla

That bit about being ‘linked to TDW faction’ and having a ‘more valuable prize hidden within’ intrigues me. And why are they strictly prohibited everywhere? That doesn't make sense unless they contain some deadly toxin, OR FD is making their importance highly apparent.

Previous responses from Support and Devs was these were linked to that story and are now a ‘curiosity’.

I accept that story was removed or paused for whatever reason, but these were left in game as environmental storytelling. I don’t think they actively activate anything anymore, but potentially provide context.

As to if FD are keeping secrets through narratively gate keeping is another hornets nest all-together and not constructive. The past is the past. I presume FD moved on.

Arthur has hinted, there are things out there, for those able to read between the lines. As to if they are talking about Raxxla or something else is anyone’s guess.

At most the Codex is likely the primary information. What is ultimately means or leads remains a mystery.

So is that a clue that Raxxla lies in Alliance space???

There exists a Dev video of Brookes saying something similar, about being careful about transporting certain illegal cargo in Alliance space, it then cuts to an amusing ‘reaction’ he pulls with a Brookes smirk and appropriate ominous music!

Mmm, wasn’t aware of that. Certainly significant of something!
Also 9:30- definitely an intimation that we’ll encounter hostile AI!

And do we have a reference or name for those early livestreams that disappeared and may have been the source of
“DB said Raxxla may appear if you’re in the right place and honk enough” or similar
Perhaps somebody has archived those too?

Technically the ‘Silver Comet’ of the article is in game.

The Galnet article identified two locations. One of these has a POI which leads you to another system. Likewise with another POI where you are ambushed by Elite NPCs.

You don’t actually find the Silver Comet, (at least I didn’t) just her acolytes. It’s more of a vignette, I suppose there are a lot of these types of POIs out there, but generally I found it a tiresome practice of tracking them down as it was reliant upon you the Cmdr to pursue.

Nice to have as environmental storytelling but it never felt divergent nor believable to me, more like a set dressing, and there was no explanation upon completion so you were left unsure about what had actually happened or if you had to do anything else… I always imagined what would someone think if they randomly found these POI, would they investigate or just ignore them.

Interesting - I know ive watched this a few times but a while back... MB mentions the Martian alien artifact (about 10:21) in the context of other sentient species in the galaxy and says he hopes to reveal a little bit more about it in the future. Seems to me that he is indicating it is Guardian since that is how things have played out. My only issue is - why wasnt the connection brought forward when Guardians were "Discovered"- an, oh by the way in Galnet saying ya we found this bit a while back on Mars... and ya turns out it is related to these Guardian chaps... But they didnt.... So i guess it still leaves the potential for something else...

Perhaps it’s the remote for a Guardian AI? 😁😁

Yes - do feel they are linked, and I am now more inclined to suspect so were the Trinkets. There’s no direct evidence obviously it’s just a gut feeling, but everything considered it feels like an obvious solution.

One could suppose the Trinkets were an initial breadcrumb introduction to the discovery of the Guardians, taking us out of the bubble via the removed missions?

The Relic I suspect is Guardian in origin. If so then the secrecy surrounding it would be applicable as it opens up the hypothesis we are Guardian offspring / experiment / leftover food or simulation so those in charge would have good reason to keep it hidden.

Is Raxxla another relic, or the same relic, is Raxxla the Guardian home world, or any ruin, or their AI?

Or as has been proposed, the DW missions were obfuscation, a wild goose chase that lead nowhere and only hinted at future narratives?

Who knows but I feel it’s one of the most elegant solutions.

My only concern with linking Raxxla to the Guardians or the Relic is it opens up that terrible suspicion of it being part of the 10 year narrative. That is a real concern for me because knowing FD modus operandi it would indicate Raxxla is not accessible, in game but gated.

Considering the alleged statements contrary to the above; I hope that even if some of that might be partly true, that Raxxla is just a footnote, an Easter egg along the path, a milestone or a memorial to Holdstock.

If so it means we can find it. I hope so, the other alternative is I feel far less imaginative.

The Raxxla and DW codexes are if our interpretation is correct, strongly indicating it likely is discoverable.

I think Raxxla is discoverable, but is very hard to find. Like a player ship in normal space, after the drop wake has expired. You have to know quite exactly where it is, to find it.

Many hints suggests that Raxxla is obfuscated / cloaked / a ghost world. It would surprise me if it shows up on scanners at all. At least until we are very close.

The Mars relic could well be a relic of the exiled Guardians. The only thing we know of them yet, is that they had AI implants and were evolving rapidly. Their rapid evolution and disappearance from Guardian history makes them prime candidates for the role of ancestors, to the Caretakers.
These guardians would have had plenty of time to visit planets and make technology. They were roaming the galaxy before the first humanoids made fire on earth and long before homo sapiens even existed.

FD probable have plans for us to learn more about these beings. What we learn may increase the ods of finding something that is practically invisible

I’ve been mooting the Martian Relic as Guardian, and humanity as an engineered anti-Thargoid weapon or Guardian food source for years. The triangular motif, now obscured, in the ships’ nav panel and UC interface point to Guardian AI guiding us.

It’s possible that thise missions for SAP8 containers were obfuscation, and to resolve them we should instead have grabbed Trinkets —the containers both have the same visual appearance and serial number.

“FD probable have plans for us to learn more about these beings”, yep, well I’m 70, so I won’t be expecting to see that event!! Whatever happened to the 10-year game plan? I feel it’s stretched out to at least 30 year plan! There’s still the hostile human AI and Guardian AI to encounter/annoy/war, plus whatever is produced by the Thargoids from all those escape capsules they snatched.

I presume someone has tried shooting at Trinkets (?) to see what’s inside... has that been done in Alliance space? Has anyone tried to take Trinkets into Alliance space??

Ya the childs hand size for the martain relic and calling the omphalos rift an artefact ….
Along with the general size we associate with trinkets…. Make me think they could all be descriptions of the same thing.
