My advice at this point is just to enjoy yourself and proceed with your investigations as you personally see fit.
Some stuff you might find will be new to some, and may well be old news to others. If it’s new to you then it’s new to you and you should have the fun of finding stuff yourself (where that’s practical).
Just be aware that there’s a great many mysteries, and not all roads necessarily lead to Raxxla.
U are absolutely right!
Having fun is the main thing.
One thing im trying to see is if i find any guardian ruins in 2 close places to the bubble but well separated between them, if i do find anything of the sort at this 2 locations, then there is a couple more places i wanna go to, to confirm or dismiss the theory... if i do find them i want to draw on the galaxy map lines connecting this sights to see if a pattern appears, since my gutt tells me that Draxxla and the guardian story are connected, i wouldnt be surprised that what ppl are looking for is a guardian site, but not anything that we´ve seen so far.
I will keep my eyes open and if i see anything that even hints that what im seing may relate to this quest ill be sure to report it here so that the information can be processed.
this idea is surely not new. But when I searched for "main menu" or "screen" in this thread I found nothing, so please forgive me for sharing it again.
Ever since I have seen the two icons for Raxxla and The Dark Wheel (TDW) in the codex, I have to think about the two main menu background images for Elite Dangerous and Elite Dangerous Horizons.
The thought that Fdev could have placed those two iconic and ultimate goals right in front of our noses fascinates me. It certainly has changed the way I now look at the login screen.
One shows a golden Coriolis station above what appears to be an earth like planet (Raxxla?) and the other shows a dark (minimally powered) Orbis station in orbit around an icy moon or planet (TDW station?). There is also the SRV on a planet in the foreground. It is clearly far too close to the station, which would only be about 20km away. But of course this is not an ingame image but maybe a creation to give us some clues.
The star type in the Horizons main menu is a white one: O, B, A or maybe F. TDW Orbis station could orbit a moon which has another moon close by (binary or simply very close orbits). Has anyone taken a close look at Shinrarta Dezhra AB 2 h and Shinrarta Dezhra AB 3 h? Where else exists this combination in a star system reasonably close to the bubble (<1000ly)?
And another thought: Considering that Raxxla is probably not too far from the bubble, there is very little chance that its system is still unexplored.
Well frontier leaked out, at least i read this already that someone passed threw the system it was already but didnt saw it... That off course could mean alot of things, but...

There lots of things buried away in the thread, and yes this one has been suggested before. Jorki (Rasalas) has been a proponenet of it for a very long time now. Nevertheless, it's still good to have it independently suggested!
In terms of looking for the systems / bodies from the screen, nothing conclusive has been found to the best of my knowledge. There's very little to go off in the images (in contrast with, say, the images that allowed the Guardian sites to be found, or even the ones with the INRA bases) and we don't even know whether they're actual in-game images or just images that were created for the menu screens. Still, definitely worth checking any possibilities for those who are in the postion (and of the inclination) to do so!
For SD AB 2 h & 3 h, I'm not sure. Anyone else know? Not sure on other systems either, it'd need a search of the databases, and there's no guarantee that every system in 1,000 ly radius will be in the EDSM/EDDB databases.
Well frontier leaked out, at least i read this already that someone passed threw the system it was already but didnt saw it... That off course could mean alot of things, but...
It's happening again!! That is not dead which can eternal lie...
Lots of people have said that it happened. No one's ever been able to provide an actual verifiable source for it. It's a 'man down the pub told me' story. (Though I'm not sure if that translates linguistically or culturally for the non-Brits!)
Was just wondering if Raxxla is indeed a place, or merely a map to the place? Could it be that the name itself refers to separate star systems, with the target point equidistant from all six? Would tie in with the Codex image, and have been in the galaxy from inception.
After all this "nonsense" and waste of your time, any pointers or directions on what i should be particularly focused on finding or reporting back to you when im doing this?
Any help appretiated.
go look at the 1st page of the thread which is updated with all the known facts or there is a google doc earlier in the thread that gives a summary of the facts + tinfoil.
Hello CMDRs.
A 75k ly exploration trip through the Milky Way gave me a lot of time to read/think about Raxxla. I think The Codex is the best place to look for clues, so here's my 2 cents. Most likely to be proven wrong when/if Raxxla eventually gets found (I think The Braben LOLs all the time when he reads what we post here).
TL,DR - Possibility of a connection between Raxxla and pulsars/neutron stars. Arguments below.
1) The jewel that burns on the brow of the mother of galaxies. Pulsars burn bright pretty much anywhere and can be seen from tens of light years away; it might also refer to the importance and value of Raxxla. Brow means "forehead" or "bridge" (i.e. the plank that sailors use to get to shore from a moored ship). Earth is located in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way, also named the Orion BRIDGE or Orion Spur. In-game, the Inner and Outer Orion Spur regions. Mother of galaxies - maybe it's the whole damn thing, the whole Milky Way.
2) To the whisperer in witch-space, the siren of the deepest void. Something related to sounds it seems. In Audacity I recorded a few hyperspace transitions from/to neutron stars, between regular stars, to/from black holes. Well, mid-jump sounds seem to be just a 7-second loop that keeps repeating until the target system loads. Waveforms and spectrograms were looking similar to my untrained eyes, but there were some subtle variations in dB levels in hyperspace jumps to black hole/pulsar systems. Nothing conclusive though. However, pulsars have that humming sound when near them, so one might consider that as whispering. (on the left side, each graph has these annotations: BH=black hole; P=pulsar; O,B,F,K,M=star classes; OC=FSD overcharge ex. K-M: jump from K-class star to M-class)
Also, I think that the graph above the fuel gauge might not be related to ship heat, but to ship NOISE. I came to this conclusion after comparing the graph mid-jump vs silent running. Mid-jump the graph was high, "agitated", with a lot of spikes, and ship heat was only 53%. In silent running, ship heat was almost 88% and the graph was constant and in some places "calmer" than it was mid-jump, getting wider and wider as heat and noise increased (the high-pitch noise gets louder as ships gets hotter). I had to stop silent running at different levels of heating in order to see this.
Maybe that graph is the best tool we've got for seeing those mysterious "whispers" and I was looking at it the wrong way.
3) Lover's woe, parent's grief. Pulsars destroy ships piloted by someone's loved one or child when they get careless or unlucky. Easy one.
4) Yearning of our vagabond hearts. Many want to find Raxxla, nobody knows what we're gonna find. Must be that fernweh thing.
5) Cora. In my opinion not important, because she is after the pirate stash, she doesn't mention Raxxla. Raxxla is mentioned by...
6) Art Tornqvist. That's an interesting one. Why that particular name? Art/Arthur means "bear", Tornqvist literally means "thorn branch". So we have something that "bears branched thorns" (like the ones on the acacia trees). Metallic crystals are very similar to the acacia branched thorns. Aside from that, there's an interesting theoretical astral body (and exotic for that matter, since game files do contain exotic bodies) called a Thorne-Zytkow Object. TZO's are pulsars inside red giants or supergiants, ocurring in globular clusters or as a consequence of a supernova explosion. Also, again, pulsars.
7) Omphalos. The Omphalos Stone is a hollow, cone-shaped rock. But in the Codex, the Omphalos is mentioned as a Rift, an alien artefact, not necessarily an object, but definitely of alien origin. Ever used the neutron highway? Of course you have. What's the shape of the neutron star ejections we use to supercharge FSD? Conical. And hollow(ish).
8) Astrophel. In my opinion it's very important to make a clear distinction here. If you LISTEN, not just read the Codex entry for Raxxla, you'll notice the way it's pronounced. Not Astro-phel, but A-strophel, or even better, As-trophel. In greek, "trophein" means to feed, and "trophi" are related to the mouth organs of rotifers (microscopic organisms). Something related to feeding and mouth. Or a maw perhaps? Maybe that maw looks like a rift?
9) The Spiralling Stars. As in more than one. Pulsars are spinning, and the ejection cones clearly show a spiral. Imagine a binary/multiple pulsar system where the magnetic and gravitational forces are so great that the interference creates a tear in space/time. Or a wormhole.
You might have noticed I didn't say anything about Astrophil and Stella. While i may have enjoyed the 400-year-old lamentations, in my opinion there is NO connection between Sir Philip Sidney and Raxxla. The sonnets are just too vague to be of any use.
Tinfoil bonus: maybe Raxxla is INSIDE a BH. After all, there is a video on youtube of a cmdr who went inside one in E: D and lived.

I have also been in several BH nothing happens you just come to stop and need to becareful jumping out and heat damage blow you up, maybe BH are changed after the last update but nothing happend when I jumped not long ago in SAG A*
I see what you're saying, but I am not suggesting it isn't a place. I was contemplating if the name of the place also suggests its neighborhood. Maybe the names of the star systems with Raxxla-place in the middle. The toast could give the chirality of the spinning stars.
Just one of many hypotheses yet to be tested. Perhaps we have taken the toast and inferred too literal a meaning.
These days I keep my eyes open for "weird things" that might be a clue to Raaxla or TDW. B Carinae is weird. First thing I noticed about it as I was passing through is that it has no discovery tags, which is unusual except for "core" worlds like Sol. Then I noticed that it has a Federation allegiance, yet it has a population of zero. Finally, it consists of just two stars - no planets, yet it is a constant source of HGEs, which seems odd to me.
Speaking of, each HGE had a wrecked but intact fighter. Near the cockpit was the previously mentioned Planck constant. But since this fighter was in space, I was able to see other markings as well. These are: 1LAR1A-X and 3-R1K-A 4821. Probably means nothing, but then again, this is a company that hides clues in sound waves!
* same disclaimer as always: I'm late to the party, so forgive any rehash of old information found before my time here.

I was docking at Galelio at Sol and I noticed that I was picking up 2 signals, Human (1), Other (1). Nothing out of the ordinary I could see around the station but I also don’t recall seeing that before... anyone know what the other signal might be? Maybe just an ancient probe showing up?

Someone on the discord noted that in the games manual it says, regarding our start in the game, that we have a note left to us from a “mysterious benefactor” who left us our starting sidewinder and credits on the stipulation that we made the cut for the Pilots Federation (everyone has). And that we shouldn’t ask too many questions about who it was who left us these things, but only that if we made something of ourselves (being “movers and shakers, something special”) that they may contact us at a future date where we would learn more about them. They suggested, and i tend to think the same, is this the challenge to be brave and whatnot mentioned in the Dark Wheel codex that would be issued by a hidden person, that once passed they would expose themselves as being from the dark wheel? If so, what could the challenge issued in the manual be? Seems there are a lot of pilots who have accomplished quite a lot, yet to our knowlage, no one has been contacted since entering the pilots federation by them.
