The video posted by Six6VI explains the source of the quote. For brevity's sake though I'll answer via text. The quote comes from The Alien World which was written by Robert Holdstock under the pen name of Steven Eisler. Professor Steven Eisler has appeared in a couple of Galnet News articles that I wrote back when we players were permitted to submit articles for Frontier to publish. It's also the name of my son's CMDR so if you find a system first discovered by Steven Eisler ... don't go thinking you've found Raxxla
Bah. I was hoping it had to do with Elite. I even had a crazy theory going just from that quote. Guess I'll have to trash that one.
I'll post it if anyone wants a dose of crazy for the day.
-The Dark Wheel generation ship launches sometime after the current time in game.
-Generation ship is sent back thousands of years.
-The Dark Wheel set up colonies and begin developing new technologies (Guardian tech?) and making clones using existing technology.
-(If Guardian tech) The Dark Wheel create AI with the directive to maintain order in the Galaxy. Since The Dark Wheel is not from the current timeline, they are seen as a disruption to the order of the galaxy, causing the Guardians to turn on them.
-The original Dark Wheel members "survive" by continuing to make clones of themselves, extending into current times.
-Current members (clones of the originals) hide from the rest of humanity to avoid disrupting the timeline.
--- Different theories about time travel cause variances here ---
-1. Affecting current events can affect the members of The Dark Wheel, even causing them to cease to exist.
-2. The Dark Wheel want the timeline to progress as it did in their time, allowing their family and themselves to exist in the current timeline.
-Powers in the current timeline learn about The Dark Wheel. They begin sabotaging generation ships to alter timeline events, or to draw out The Dark Wheel.
The Dark Wheel toast
"To the jewel that burns on the brow of the mother of galaxies!"
This could be Earth, Sol, the human bubble, or even the entire Milky Way.
"To the whisperer in witchspace, the siren of the deepest void!"
This indicates the disire to return back home, despite the consequences. Every hyperspace jump is a reminder that they could just jump back home.
"The parent's grief, the lover's woe, and the yearning of our vagabond hearts. To Raxxla!"
The reason for trying to remain invisible to the rest of humanity, and staying so far from their home. They want their loved ones to exist in this timeline, which is why they ignore the urges to return.

This game is making me insane.
