He’s an interesting element of apophenia; whilst I’ve been mapping the removed missions, Found an odd alignment with the system
Paradiso.
Paradiso is Italian for paradise obviously and was the title for Dante’s third part of the Divine Comedy.
What is odd about it is, firstly it’s nowhere close to any of my data, but if you shift its Y axis vertically downwards, it actually falls inside the zone denoted by the removed missions and Brookes tours?
Error, coincidence apophenia?

Removed missions - conclusion

Paradiso unfortunately is an empty system with two stars and nothing else. But, as you noted there are other "paradise" systems in the game. I find that to be the chief problem with a lot of those interactions that we are chasing here - there are so many synonymous system names that it's very easy to fall into a trap of finding false correlations.
Right now I have to get out of my system the trip to NGC 7822 and the Bow Tie nebula behind it. There is no way this arrangement is accidental, this goes into Elysian Shore, and it sort of at least fits with the interpretation of Brookes Memorial as the pathway to Hell, while the stairway to Heaven ends in NGC 7822. I noticed a few other things that are somewhat in line with this idea:
1. The full distance of Brookes Memorial is ~2500 LY. NGC 7822 is ~2800 LY from SOL - this is extremely close alignment for this game in terms of distances for anything that isn't out right written down, and it's sort of arbitrary what you could consider the point of end of the path to Hell and beginning of the stairway to Heaven. I intend to look for some edge bubble system that presumably could be a good candidate when I get back online and see how close those distances would be if I add the distance from Artemis to that, and then take the distance from that to NGC 7822.
2. NGC 7822 has a station (just like Orion Nebula has PMD2009 48 system and a station there) - I hope to find things there.
3. The Bow Tie nebula being a straight shot behind NGC 7822 cannot be a simple coincidence. This isn't actually proper placement from regular coordinates because IRL Bow Tie nebula and NGC 7822 are nowhere close to each other as seen from SOL, so at least one of them has been moved I believe to get the proper arrangement in place. My calculations could be off, of course.
4. The distances of various objects overlapping NGC 7822 IRL don't seem to line up very well with the game. The game has a few things that I think IRL are "IN" the nebula somewhere on the way. This is makes it more suspicious - various significant BD and HIP systems in particular.
That's why I really want to get this trip done. Following that and presumably not finding anything, I'll probably start chasing your theories around the bubble.
