Yeah I have my ow ideas about Raxxla (don't we all?) and the current years of searching and not finding is based off a false assumption made many years ago....of course I could be wrong, maybe one day I will fly out and see if I am or not!

Here me out for a second: Raxxla is the Construct(s). They very much exist. They are the ships themselves. CMDR's are just the avatar in order to interact with humanity and Holo-Me, tele-presence, and tele-existence is they means by which that is achieved. Which means we are nothing more than the dreaming of an ultra-intelligent artificial intelligence. In that case, Raxxla is the CMDR/ship/SRV avatar in the form of a human. Canonically, it would explain a lot - especially how CMDRs can withstand such extreme environments. If we're holographs, it is nothing more than a vast simulation - see the Utopia Sim-Archive.

Poking the Twitch API, the date on the clip is 25 July 2020; checking EliteBGS archives that's very consistent with both the BGS information shown in the clip and a reason for someone interested in Raxxla to be in that system at all so I'd guess the clip was made soon after the video itself - which puts it over a year after the rumour had started circulating in other forms.
Looking for the DJTruthsayer one searching for Raxxla just brings back a lot of results about an early Michael Brookes interview instead (where Michael confirms that it's in the galaxy somewhere) - can you remember any more about when that got mentioned?
Sure, I meant that the pattern of exploration of the galaxy as a whole was non-systematic (and mainly concentrated on the Sol-Colonia-SagA* triangle by system count if not by density)
So, in other words, Brookes didn't opt for the wholly esoteric or meta-physical solution. Though, I will say, there is good deal of lore suggesting not all CMDRs have the same origins. Which, honestly, is actually fine. I actually love that the story is flexible enough we all get our own ideas on what Raxxla is exactly (this was strongly hinted via Bonespire Publishing and Olav Redcourt story arcs). So, it appears my ideas merely add flavor and variety to the story but the question remains, "What exactly is Raxxla and why can no find it?". It would appear finding The Dark Wheel or whatever ruins of them that are left would be immensely helpful.
Hurray, welcome back to square one.
Also, I don't think there has been any progress whatsoever on the era between 2230 and 2296 beyond sources that some us hope are canonical but we cannot prove. Hope is a dangerous thing as shown by New Chernobyl station in Gateway. You'd think with 1,668 pages of tinfoil someone would have hit on a solution.

Inertia is powerful here.
Oh, impressive detective work then, I wouldn't have thought on checking the BGS. Meanwhile, what I found was that Michael Brookes was at LaveCon 2016, and in his farewell to Elite forum post, he said he'll be at LaveCon 2017 - but I don't know if he was there or not. Even if he was though, that would have been three years before this clip then. If that were actually said, I would be surprised if nobody reported on it until years after the fact.
Memory is a fickle thing, so don't rely on what I'm going to say now: I think I heard about the rumour, but not the name, sometime in 2018 or 2019. Don't have any dated proof though, unfortunately. In a private conversation with a friend on Discord near the end of 2018, I mentioned in passing among wild rumours that there was even one that somebody found Raxxla already - but that could have been anything, not just this specific one, and we moved on without any further word on that.
So, in short: not really, sorry.
I dont think there has ever been any proof that anyone has honked the system, i think its just an old wives tale.

Yes - that's the other clip under discussion. But it's 14 months after the rumour was already "old news" in post 8118 in this thread, so can't be the origin of the rumour.

Just an update to my bridge out of hell theory, happened to recal the Genship Artemis.
The system Mu Cassiopeia, weirdly also falls upon the hypothetical axis from Erebus to Sol?

Yes its orbiting planet C1, think the log mentioned Raxxla, will look at my notes.

Has nything ever been found in the asteroid belt clusters?
I believe Warinus asteroid base is within the Castellan Belt in Lave. Actually, pretty sure there are multiple stations either on the outer edge of rings or between rings of gas giants. So, it is likely possible. Might be part of the reason you don't get paid anything for scanning asteroid belts despite doing so helps miners.

I've seen non-dockable installations in belts and rings. They're in the nav panel but may have been much harder to find early on, i've never played before ps4 release.
The Hesperus megaship was hidden in one and didn't initially show up on a FSS of the system. That was long after people had been publicly speculating that belt clusters would be a good "no-one would check" place to hide mysteries, though.
The Crevie's Salvo station in Kinesi is also in a belt cluster, though that's obvious from the system map.
Maybe something traveling from one system to another?
Where is this station?

I am increasingly of the opinion that TDW does not. in fact, have one singular primary HQ. They still may but we'll see. We know per the in-game knowledge base the Nostrum starports were abandoned due to the incident in Tau Ceti. Currently the following are confirmed Nostrum starports (otherwise known as the
stations):Ortiz Moreno City (Tau Ceti)
Black Mausoleum (Beta Hydri)
Polya Coliseum (Aymifa)
Hunziker Orbital (Aymifa)
PEW-1901 (Aditi)
Mars High (Sol)
M. Gorbachev (Sol)
Galileo (Ocellus - Sol)
Brooks Estate (Pi-Fang)
Irkutsk (Alioth)
Leonard Nimoy Station (LHS 3006)
Vonarburg Co-operative (Wyrd)
Trade Post (Delta Pavonis)
Kummer Acropolis (Laedla)
Fort Dixon (Vega)
Wicca Town (Gateway)
As best I can tell, the anarchists, theocrats, democracies, and cooperatives have been coordinating efforts. These are their regional headquarters. They are closely connected to major systems from Frontier, First Encounters, the political capitals, and Engineers. This list is suspected of being very incomplete. The Cult of Sol from "Tales from the Frontier" is very real and very dangerous.
From memory, Attilius Orbital in CD-43 11917 is also the palm-tree design.
(The bit about "Atlas" in the system description is a red herring, though: that refers to the player faction "Atlas Corporation" which was added to the nearby Lambda Arae system instead but had the description put in the wrong place)
theres also asteroid base in the system named possibly after a dragon princess. right next to vesper-m4
and outpost named after some insignificant deity
