I read Guru 951 post when first put up, didn't know what to make of it, still none the wiser. However, true or not, whether for his or our entertainment who knows. But a big thumbs up, I've found it all very interesting and very engaging.
The Quest To Find Raxxla
- Thread starter Macros Black
- Start date
If only we can have somebody in FDev themselves, one of the developers, to just answer yes or no to "Can Raxxla be achievable*/found as the game stands now?"
Or
"Has it ever been achievable* in the past in Elite Dangerous?"
"Is any of the previous Elite novels and games considered canon to Elite Dangerous, if not all, then what is?"
*just in case if Raxxla isn't actually a "place", but something else entirely; such as a trigger for more story content or who knows?

Source of this, please.
I don't know about that but Braben him self said during a 2.0 launch that Raxxla was in game, even calling the question "Silly"

People get confused with Fdev quotes. The "it has been in-game and doesn't need Horizons" is in reference to the Formidine rift mystery. It has nothing to do with Raxxla. Fdev has only said in reference to Raxxla that it "is in the game and we know where it is" "it needs to be obvious" and "it is in the Milky Way." That, coupled with the in-game Codex is the only concrete information we know. They have never explicitly stated that it is accessible.

Raxxla is in the Milky Way. This was confirmed during DJTruthsayer's lore interview with Michael Brookes.
Author Drew Wagar said "My own personal theory is that it can't be too far from Sol as it was reachable long ago by more primitive ships. Whether this proves true... I guess we'll find out."

Look up how the crashed ships were found - It involves the unregistered comms beacon in Sol the orbits our moon (check the Cannon website)
It's a good example of how complicated Frontier can make things (and I believe slightly bugged)
I've found a couple of things that fall under the "slightly weird" category. Tau Ceti has a station (Avogardo Enterprise) that is always undefined with the FSS when I enter the system. Is this relevant or a bug? It's impossible to tell.
You just have to fit that tin foil hat and try not to loose all sanity

There were hints from beacons and an extreme amount of manual searching, to find the crashed Thargoids. Finding an object in open space that does not give any signals and is dark and small takes a lot of luck, if you dont know where to look.
A station sized object in orbit around a star or in a high planetary orbit, is extremely difficult to spot. If it doesn't reflect much light and you have to 'hear' it, it's close to impossible.
Also note the dates of Tau Ceti's founding, and when the Non-human relic was found on Mars
It does for me. One possible reason is that it's in deep space, not orbiting a planet. Just a thought.
It's probably a Sun Dragon. Always be wary of those things when passing through Tau Ceti.
I checked Kappa Cass today, nothing special. (Except it's only a 2 million years old baby system and it has already a life form in it: Roseum Bioluminescent Anemone -imgur album- | too bad the main star is at end of its life already - a fast burning class A blue-white supergiant)
System map & orrery in case you're wondering (yes, I checked the landable bodies):
Not sure what you mean by Unresolved. It’s in the FSS under Concentrated Signal Sources.
OK
To explain - Ive been there lots, and have scanned the system (FSS)
If I enter the system again and use the FSS (say to find signal sources) Avogardo Station is in the FSS as a blue mark with circle as if its not been scanned before - unresolved
This is most likely nothing but I don't think Ive seen it before in other systems, It may well be a "quirk" of the FSS.
edit - "quirk"= polite name for a bug.
edit 2 - bug does not mean alien
