The Quest To Find Raxxla

[Rochester]

The location of those early settled systems match the key information in the Codex - namely the time frame of 2296.

2296 identifies that Raxxla was known within an early window, this reduces the area of influence significantly.

I don’t believe we ought to concern ourselves with fuel nor travel capacity, simply because the key information omits it, and the key lore person @Allen Stroud mentioned he didn’t include such detail in his texts. So I feel such a hypothesis is unnecessary, simply because it renders all information useless (as technically it could be anywhere if one used a fuel scoop etc).

That area of space likewise in the lore is said to have been, dangerous and unexplored, so it’s very likely I suspect discovered during this initial period of exploration.

When you look at the various aspects of the Codex namely the mentioning of Atlantis, Cities of gold and Prestor John, those localities are slap bang in this same vicinity.

Combined it establishes in my opinion a focal point.

This focal point is further backed up by the inclusion of Pandemonium, Michael Brookes (RIP) reference to Paradise Lost, this area is also home to many ‘underworld’ systems (Tartarus being the deepest void); Axis Mundi (!) and of course Persephone, which is an obvious allusion to Cora comes home!

This focal point is in my definitive opinion the area FD want us to focus upon.

What’s next, is still an unknown…

If the above is true, what happens if we then ignore the Codex information and refer back to the lost DW missions! There was those missions which talked of the silent spheres, again a John Milton reference, linked to Pandemonium. If Axis Mundi and Pandemonium are a key element, what else might be in this vicinity, or are all these simply environmental clues, attempting to act as markers to focus our attention upon this relatively small area?

Is something there, hidden, or in plain sight, is this a jumping off point to point us elsewhere! Jacques is very suspicious, his home system likewise matches the DW description!!!???

Jacques travels past a weird system called ‘Bridge’ a potential allegory for Milton’s Bridge in Paradise Lost!

Or equally, how many of these are ‘projections’ on our part; or an amalgamation of separate mysteries; or are these separate mysteries pointing ‘back’ towards a common centre!

We have no evidence linking Jaques to Raxxla, however IIRC there is a similarity to codex TDW logo, which in the past has caused me to muse that Jaques is a member of TDW (not got PC powered yet to check the codex, pity it’s not available on the web! ). Membership of TDW would make sense given his long life, wanderings, knowledge gained through bar room chat etc. Facece is one of the Old Worlds & hence possibility for TDW (“operating since the very earliest days of interstellar travel”). However I have posted in the past about his journeys mentioned in Galnet posts.

Systems visited by Jaques prior to the jump to Colonia:

(There’s a risk that some of the old lore re Jaques is not canon for ED, but we go with what we got!)

Circa 3000 he got a job as bartender in the newly-built Peters Base station at Facece/Topaz (not 8th moon Facece 6g!)
By 3200 he had secured ownership over half of the station. Jaques' dream was to buy out the rest of the station, attach engines to it, and use it to explore the galaxy.
By 3300, Jaques had exchanged Peters Base, a Coriolis, for a more resilient Orbis.

? Feb 3301 - 19 Feb 3301 wandering around HIP 110620

19 Feb 3301 Journeying through HIP 110079 - Unknown date

-16 months gap in record of Jaques’ activities!-

19 May 3302 Jaques jumped from Gliese 1269. Beagle Point was the intended destination, jump expected to take a week but he went missing

28 Jun 3302 Jaques found in Eol Prou RS-T d3-94 (Colonia)

So I wonder if that 16 month gap without explanation, (and the Galnet posts seem deliberately intended to call attention to it) means that he spent the time looking for Raxxla? No suggestion of that possibility in the codex, but he is a wanderer (“vagabond”). Do those systems tie in with your mythology-based hypothesis? I do agree that Persephone (greek myth of Demeter &“Kore”) and the Tau Ceti rumour’s “Cora” is suggestive....
do you have a centre system and radius for your suspect region?

 

[CMDRCorrMorningstarFelian]

?? Topaz moon-??

Your options are: Facece, Phekda, or Ayethi (the original home of Walter Argent).

Phekda has 3 earth-likes in orbit of Phekda 4. In other words, they are moons. Also, home to the very cool The Ancients of Mumu. The "moons" are Nirvana, New California, and Topaz. The system has another earth-like simply known as Phekda 3.

In Facece, Topaz is a stand-alone earth-like planet.

In Ayethi, Topaz is a stand-alone earth-like planet.

Yes there is no evidence linking Jaques to Raxxla, I simply find it very odd his journey originated in this very suspicious area, and his origin system does have a gas giant with 8 moons, could just be a coincidence.

In regards to Jaques and Yggdrasil there is no definitive correlation, however the existence of the ‘underworld’ area does sit directly below Yggdrasil, and Axis Mundi could be identified as being at its base.

*green main is path of Persephone, blue are systems named after sunken kingdoms, yellow cities of gold, red is the Greek underworld, green again for the path of Jaques. All other points are Yggdrasil.

Concurrent with galactic north / south, Yggdrasil is aslant, but given the old Star Trek analogy ‘what’s really up or down’ if one tilts one’s head the two do look like they correlate; but still nothing conclusive.

The path of Jaques travels away fron this region.

The 2296 sphere of influence is established simply from Sol to the furthest system explored upto 2296.

This region does seem to be very close to where the path of Jaques begins, relatively close to the system Bridge!

Bridge has the controlling faction ‘Kronos Sovereing’ (Omphalos)!

Simply finding it very odd and attempting to interrogate the information for any possible links or evidence to exclude it.

Does this mean something, does it relate directly with Raxxla, is it pointing us outwards or is it simply another mystery within another mystery whose purpose is to draw us towards this underworld area, is the system’s Bridge and HIP1114458 an reference to John Milton and Lucifers Viaduct (bridge) across the Outer Rim of the Silent Spheres!?

If it is, then this is certainly by the hand of Brookes (07) and if that is the case it’s truly a work of art; if it’s just apophenia, well let’s disregard it.

Pilot's Federation is founded in 2805. However, first Elite CMDR doesn't happen until centuries later sometime during 3100s (Peter Jameson). So, clearly Peter Jameson is not the founder of the organization.

Hold up, though, it isn't that simple...

Facece has both the planet Peter's Wreck and station (Coriolis) Peter's Base. So, apparently Peter Jameson did not die in Riedquat as reported in manual of Frontier and First Encounters.

Jaques (aka Peter Jameson) is revealed as being some 300 or more years old in "..All that Glisters". This, however, would put him in line with being sufficiently old to have founded The Pilot's Federation and potentially be the same person as Augustus Brenquith and his "Glistening legacy" who discovered pretty much everything in Frontier gazetteer including Ackwada and Quphieth (this was the Imperials name for it). Quphieth was notable for having the Donaldson starport. In other words, it is known in modern times as the stellar "El Dorado" (language used in Alliance History codex entry in Elite Dangerous) that is Alioth.

You want to know who built the console for your ships? That's a Saud Kruger Astrogation console. Guess who founded that organization and built the controls - Augustus Brenquith. In other words, the same person suspected of being yet another alias of Jaques "the supplanter". Yet, we cheered this megalomaniac on his exit of the Bubble (presumably). Unless someone else has alternative theories on this, the matter seems fairly straightforward. Especially, given the events involving the D'Writ estate and subsequent destruction of the Rockforth Legal Academy.

ROCKFORTH LEGAL ACADEMY DESTROYED​

M.C.S

One of the Galaxy’s newest but nevertheless most prestigious legal Academies was destroyed last week in a series of unannounced bombing raids.

Five separate ships, all bearing false identification markings launched devastating point-blank missile attacks on the Academy, leaving it a heap of smouldering rubble.

Emergency services had their rescue efforts seriously hampered by the serial nature of the bombings and the entire structure was raised to the ground in the space of a few minutes. Fortunately, the attacks took place during the night and few of the academic staff were on the premises at the time.

The three Senate attorneys preparing the final judgement in the W’rit vs. Thompsonson case were, however, on site and all three were injured beyond repair in the blasts.

Neither side in the case has made any official statement, however, sources close to both parties suggest that they may well be prepared to drop all further action in an effort to prevent any further escalation of the violence.

There is also a suggestion that the proposed Rockforth vs. Frontier News libel suit may also be allowed to lapse.

 

[CMDRCorrMorningstarFelian]

I foresee a visit to Ackwada in my future to see what exactly dirt the D'Writs found on Rockforth Corporation. This should prove enlightening.

Mother of galaxies I think might be Sol or Hathor....Eve only had three children (Cain, Abel, Seth) that we know and none relate to galaxies, though IIRC Abel might be a star catalogue....ah yes, (but no system called Eve) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abell_catalogue !

Milton of course knew nothing about galaxies, Hubble’s observations were way later. I did have a brief glance at

[CMDRCorrMorningstarFelian]

Mother of Galaxies is Gaia / Mother Nature / Terra Mater / etc. The rebuilding of Talmor Lens is started at Earth. All the infrastructure was dependent on that one broken piece that humanity rebuilt in Egypt. I think Raxxla as per the rumors and what we are looking for in Elite Dangerous is in whatever globular cluster is the Saramandara Pearls.

I suspect the Guardian ruins provide a map in the form of the ruins themselves. Azimuth Saga seems to suggest the Thargoids are probably the Traditionalist branch of the Guardians (but there may be multiple groups based on different behaviors in California Nebula).

Humanity appears to have developed our technology from the Progressive-branch Guardians which were well known for holographic technology, virtual reality, etc. In fact, Pilot's Federation infrastructure is essentially a copy of the Monolith Network (this largely explains telepresence) and the vehicles being ad-hoc parts of the network. Jaques may have meant well but I don't know for certain. He, however, is unlikely to actually be human. Also, CMDRs, are likely genetic hybrids between humans and Guardians. This is why only CMDRs can fly the ships. Who are the bad guys here is big unknown at the moment. There is also a lot more cooperation behind the scenes that isn't obvious unless you watch small details in missions carefully.

TL;DR version: Raxxla (otherwise known as the Monolith Network) has literally been in front of us the entire time. It is huge and covers millions of systems. It seems to enable our ships warp capabilities via wormholes and hyperspace comms. The question is does it ultimately connect to other galaxies? The artificial power sources, antennas, arrays, installations (orbital and surface), surface ports, and stations are all components of the larger structure.

The Codex shows that there are guardian ruins all over the galaxy. But I haven't encountered them in the bubble.

Here's likely why: a large portion all Earth-likes in Human space either are 1/3 mass of Earth or functionally have gravity at 1/3 Earth normal. In other words, we cannot see them because we cannot land on Earth-likes. There are definitely ones more geared to normal humans and others geared to the aliens we are on good terms with like First Encounters suggested had happened. This is also why a lot of Orbis and Ocellus have 1 ring that is substantially bigger than the other so 1 ring has 1g and other 0.5g. With Coriolis, if you further away from access of rotation there was automatically less gravity.

“To the jewel that burns on the brow of the mother of galaxies! = who knows? Maybe it is Sol, eg ‘direct yourself towards Sol’ because FD do refer to Earth as being the jewel, generally there are too many potential candidates for this, so if we attempt to follow the key information provided to us by FD, Sol seems a likely candidate?

To the whisperer in witch-space, the siren of the deepest void! = Tartarus and Nysa eg the underworld sector? ‘direct yourself to the underworld’?

The parent's grief = Demeter; The lover's woe = Persephone, and the yearning of our vagabond hearts = who knows, but maybe it simple means ‘follow Persephone downwards’, because Demeter was a wanderer, her heart’s desire was her daughter!

Regards Milton, all of creation ergo our universe, as well as all ‘other Eden’s’ (ergo other worlds, other systems) sat within the spherical shell of the silent spheres. In Miltons own terms a physical orb hanging from heaven walls, Hell and it’s capital sat way outside of it in the Chaos, Heaven’s gate was in direct polar opposition, far above the apex. But we’ve been here before.

I feel the author of all of this did what most artists do and extracted various influences from a number of sources and built something relatively abstract but with some common context. I don’t believe we can utilise just one reference point and apply it directly to others or find a common thread.

Together I believe they represent specific systems or regions and collectively they point someplace, I’m certain of it.

Within the Codex it does directly indicate Atlantis, Eldorado (cities of gold, and Prestor John. These locations are in game, all slap in the middle of a Greek underworld, around Axus Mundi, relatively so is Pandemonium.

I have a presumption the ‘Children’s Story’ is as allegory for the book ‘Elite Legacy’ but I don’t think it holds any exact clues textually, other that it’s system location… or it’s a nod and a wink to look at the book again and look for indirect clues within?

Had a further thought this morning. we know DB was impressed by 2001 Space Odyssey (e.g. Blue Danube music for docking), but there are subsequent books. The second “2010:Odyssey Two” book/film had Jupiter turned by millions of monoliths into a star named Lucifer... and mankind was forbidden to land on Europa as the monoliths had found aquatic life there with potential to evolve intelligence.

In the third “2061: Odyssey Three” a mountain (Mount Zeus -reminiscent of the eagles and omphalos greek myth) was observed on Europa, and determined to be a diamond fragment of Jupiter’s core. Other fragments anticipated in Lucifer orbit.

Now Lucifer would tie across to Paradise Lost, and also the second line of the toast. Also the third line if the parent was God grieving over Adam & Eve’s transgression and they were the vagabonds after expulsion from Eden.

So could Raxxla be a giant diamond in orbit of Jupiter? It would seriously mix timelines and lore though!!!

Copawlot fit at 06:55, now thunderstorm outside, so not going to go exploring until at least later today!

I have another thought to check out!

If MB set this as a mythology-based puzzle I think you have to remember he was an author & would have been fairly precise in his usage of the concepts.
Tartaurus was the region, so ok for the deepest void, but the whisperer/siren? More likely Hades was the lover, and then could also be the whisperer/siren. However from Paradise Lost it would be Lucifer, who tried to seduce Eve and whispered to her (temptation->siren) about the forbidden fruit.

We might presume Jaques spent the missing years exploring this region in search of Raxxla....I suspect he found it, and then he wanted further adventure so was planning to jump across the galaxy to Beagle Point but was sabotaged by the Thargoid Sensor terrorists.

I have slight feeling he wasnt really going to Beagle and just used the hype to get him wherever he was goin but was stopped along the way by the Sensors, Perhaps Hyponia? or getting closer to Hyponia or maybe near a titan in the area caused the sensors to flip? One of the current titans did come more from that direction rather than the direction of the others or they flipped due to him passing directly through a Guardian site (there is some in his path to Colonia in Prua Phoe/Skaudai sector)

Oh I think FD fully expected some people to sabotage Jaques' jump by selling UA/TS in his market. The effect supposedly threw him out of hyperspace in a random direction/system, but in practice I suspect FD planned a second human buble there from the outset in view of their plans for the inevitable Thargoid war.

Yeah i agree even without the sensor bombing i suspect it would have had a different failure from being such far a distance etc

I like this concept.

We accept he was supposedly going to Beagle Point, but why? That system is supposedly arbitrary (in regards to Raxxla and the narrative) as it was discovered, named by players.

The sensors caused the mis-jump, so from FD perspective likely BP was never intended and utilised to garner interest. What followed very likely was intended to become some type of treasure hunt for Jaques, but we all know that never went to plan.

Hard to say if Jaques inevitable direction is linked to Raxxla, I suspect it’s not linked, and more in line with the overarching narrative relevant to the Thargoids.

I presume therefore if anything about Jaques is relevant to Raxxla, based upon his origin point alone, I could suspect that HIP 110620 then HIP 110079, were chosen due to their respective location next to the systems ‘Bridge’ and ‘HIP1114458’ and the Gen ship Achlys (which means Death Fog).

From a Milton perspective this could be interpreted as a potential Hells gate, which linked to Lucifers Viaduct (bridge) used to connect Hell with the Silent Sphere’s.

It’s a stretch, but we’ve been here before. And I strongly suspect is actually archeological and represents a now retconned element built by the late great Brookes.

oh I think Beagle Point was a natural choice for Jaques, a cybernetic explorer & likely member of TDW (a group of adventurers and explorers). It's just about the furthest point from the bubble and had already become a focal point destination for other explorers so why not set yourself up as a bartender there, sell drinks and enjoy the bar chat and discussions of discoveries they'd made on the way??
but yes, FD wanted a second bubble and what better way to start it in anticipation of the Thargoid war by moving a station, manned by a cybernetic bartender and his minions, to (what became) Colonia, in a damaged state which would trigger the inevitable long range journeys to support him. A cunning bit of psychology!
