Witchspace Tunnel. The star field spins as you traverse it. They then fold up on themselves as you are ejected and the tunnel collapses at the destination system.
Absolutely correct, and I don’t presume to advocate any of my hypothesis are canon, as I always attempt to apply a standard probability yardstick, where one can never truly be 100% certain.
I never knew that, that's so cool
That is cool. Have you tried if the app manages to decode the Thargoid morse as well?
This is quite likely and was probably the plan from the start. There are quite a few indicators that FD kept the original idea that Raxxla is a planet.

John Milton the Space Poet: Early Traces of Science Fiction in Paradise Lost - Reactor
One of the many ironies of Paradise Lost, John Milton’s retelling of the Book of Genesis as an epic poem, is Milton’s trashing of Calliope, the Ancient Greek muse of epic poetry. In Book 7 of the poem, he references Calliope’s failure in mythology to save her son’s life and calls her “an empty...
If we take the FD recent memorial quote referencing Milton as a clue, in the absence of any other information, then the jewel which burns, is likely the pendant world, but it ought not sit on the brow of a mother of galaxies, but from the rim of the encircling wall of heaven or the Empyrean.
In Paradise Lost the empyrean is described in part to be made of stars (unsure it’s a metaphor), likewise heaven might also be described like a mountain?
What John Milton’s Heaven Has to Offer the Soul—According to Ken Jennings
John Milton set just as much of his 1667 epic poem Paradise Lost in heaven as he did in hell—which isn’t a theological problem, but it’s definitely a literary one. Satan is a terrible role model, b…
Within the Codex, the text ‘Mother of’ may simply relate to 'the biggest or largest of ‘something big’; the biggest thing? And ‘of’ may inform this to be ‘plural’?
The text could be referencing a particular galaxy, maybe seen from a certain perspective? Or again is this, like the jewel that burns, poetic license and they are not talking of an actual galaxy, just something truly enormous and brilliant - like a galaxy, ergo the Empyrean?
I’m simply looking for poetic examples where the author may have made an allegory between the Empyrean and mountains?
Mountains were a key element in the journey to the ‘Otherworld’. Referenced both in Holdcroft and M Brookes.
Is the Mother of galaxies not a reference but a metaphor or allegory for a type of mythic mount or point, does the pendant world hang or sit upon said system, named after a particular mount; because mountains do have brows!
Celtic burial mounds likewise were regarded as passages to this ‘Otherworld’. Are there any systems named after such monuments?
That is of course if the ‘Holdcroft’ hypothesis is correct
... probablyThis still sounds like an Earth/Sol reference.Interesting assessment of Paradise Lost, especially in relation to the description of the pendant world.

Well he was also technically in old money (like myself) Ophiuchus, 29th November to 17th December.
Whaaaat?! well it's almost like this astrology stuff means nothing at all, and the arbitrary position of celestial objects at your time of birth have no relevance to anythingWell he was also technically in old money (like myself) Ophiuchus, 29th November to 17th December.
No idea whether it makes a difference but its always been an interesting diversion from the mainstream

The precession of the equinoxes alone, which is known since the time of Hipparchus, makes the whole idea of a fixed-date Zodiac go against its own principles.Whaaaat?! well it's almost like this astrology stuff means nothing at all, and the arbitrary position of celestial objects at your time of birth have no relevance to anything
