well the dark wheel did expand from shinrata to LFT 926. back in the days, it was exclusively present in shinrata alone if im not mistaken. was the expansion influenced by players or not? i dont know. but if it was, then it should be able to be expanded again.
one could only hope. But i gave up on fdev's follow thru with their narrative when the rift story fell flat on it's face (well, honestly, when they retconned their own story when their jaques event fell on it's face). There's no wind in their creative sails. Or more likely, no drive to put money into creating it like when the game was first released. I think when it started, the grand vision was completely disconnected from the reality of how much it costs to have writers and content creators needing to work constantly due to the way they created the game and without recurring revenue, that isn't sustainable. So fast forward to now, and it's hard to look at anything with the same eye that you had a couple years ago when everything could be a new mystery and plot... Now it's far more likely to just be filler, with the only narrative currently going is the primary one currently revolving around famine and crops.
i think the next big update will bring base building into the game (according to some leaks). fleet carriers being the first phase of it. so hold on tight... the galaxy wont be empty for so long anymore. meanwhile, find cool places you want to build your future bases on. i myself enjoy believing that there is many untaped mysteries and stories untold around the galaxy, waiting for someone to trigger them. even if they dont exist, at least they do in my mind. the game is like a canvas, for my imagination to run wild. ^^
now, where is that damn raxxla!
*checks under that suspicious looking rock... is it here?
...nope.

I rather think next year’s big update will include legs and a first-person shooter. Don’t forget the leaked Thargoids in the flesh carapace pic showed them on the ground. So they’ll be attacking ground settlements/bases and pilots on foot. This is a logical commercial next step to rival the competition (Star Citizen +Citizen 42).

Context:
It may be worth remembering from DW’s Elite Premonition (an FD-sponsored book, so should be fairly representative of the lore) Luko, Rebecca, Elyssia and Salomé seem to all have been members of Dark Wheel. Luko left a TDW medallion engraved “Salomé” in her ship. Luko said to Hassan about Tionisla Orbital Graveyard “They say it was once the headquarters of the Dark Wheel”, Rebecca’s ship was interred there, & that’s where she (& Elyssia?) was killed by The Club’s minions. However I searched Tionisla pretty thoroughly with no joy.
I think the codex TDW station pic is a strong clue, but the colour balance has been adjusted, and quite possibly also the distance relationships between planet, star and station. The colour balance can be adjusted by comparison with other examples of this type of station such as Aulin Enterprise.
I am no longer convinced that TDW station orbits the 8th moon of a gas giant. The codex entry clearly indicates Lyta Crane’s knowledge on this may not be credible. Lyta Crane is an anagram of “LYT (i.e. dwarf star types) ARCANE”, is this relevant? “Arcane” means “understood by few; mysterious or secret”, so maybe a hint she is actually a DW stooge misleading us? OR perhaps it is a hint the station is near an L, Y or T type star? From discussion on the forum threads the codex pic star type may be: TTauri protostar, S carbon star, L brown dwarf, Herbig, M (VI) subdwarf, BUT NOT Y or T dwarves (too purple). I have visited quite a few systems in the bubble hosting these types of stars, without success.
Having done much long-range searching, I now suspect TDW station (and probably Raxxla) are within, or close to, the bubble (the “station has been in use for centuries”). The rumours arose early and the earliest mention is from Tau Ceti, not all that far from Sol so humanity hadn’t spread very far into space. The station is an old-style orbis, similar to Aulin Enterprise/Aulin or Abraham Lincoln/Sol. That should give us the likely distance of the station from its parent body, assuming it is in normal orbit. It may be located at a Lagrange point, & it may be this is the hint from the codex pic (suggesting L2 point). N.B. These old stations would probably not have ben capable of moving very far, so I think this is a reasonable hypothesis. Jaques is a later type of station with different configuration.
I don’t think the station is hidden behind a permit lock (though Raxxla might be, if so the permit is likely obtainable via this station). I don’t think it will be obvious on fss, or on nav panel until very close (if at all). I suspect we may have to eyeball it by parallax & drop in manually. Though it may be hidden by another in-game mechanism; possibly “salvageable wreckage” permanent poi, & Cmdr haxmurderer made a good point that it may be hidden in an asteroid field that's just beyond the planet.
However my current hypothesis is
Are you sure??
that the toast leads to the planet Eden and the star Proxima Centauri. This hypothesis fits the available clues, as follows:
Proxima is a long “journey we all must make” (0.2 ly, an hour realtime in SC) from system entry, though that statement by MB might also refer to an individual’s journey through life to death (“Paradise”) and the hardship etc that we all face on that journey. Proxima matches the star type of the codex pic. During game set up & having constructed Alpha Centauri with such a long distance to travel out to Proxima it seems to me likely that DB/MB would have used it as part of the Raxxla obfuscation.
MB, during that livestream, and on several other occasions, was wearing his tshirt depicting Ygdrasil “the tree of life”. I suspect this was a clue “for those wih eyes to see”. His tattoo was supposed to represent the storyline of an (apparently as yet) unpublished novel based on Cthulhu and Paradise Lost. I have found no systems in-game related to (the little I know of) Cthulhu, but several related to Paradise Lost.
The codex report of The Dark Wheel’s toast seems too detailed to be mere fluff, so I think it is another clue; moreover it is in the Raxxla codex entry rather than the Dark Wheel entry, which seems to me to increase the weight of this being a clue. To recap:
"To the jewel that burns on the brow of the mother of galaxies!
To the whisperer in witch-space, the siren of the deepest void!
The parent's grief, the lover's woe, and the yearning of our vagabond hearts.
To Raxxla!"
Note- singular parent, singular lover, and vagabond is a poetic term for a wandering homeless person.
Now Mother of galaxies could be Cassiopeia (mythological mother of Andromeda), or it could be our own Milky Way which has several satellite galaxies.
If Milky Way then poetically the jewel could be Sol or Earth, from which humanity has expanded...
If Cassiopeia the jewel could be the brightest star Alpha Cass (Schedar), but that’s not near the brow (forehead) of the constellation diagram of Queen Cassiopeia. It could be Gemma (in-game as Alphekka), but there is a more interesting possibility; if you read the Wikipedia text on constellation cassiopeia near the bottom of the entry you find “Pattern from Alpha Centauri”, which points out that from a position within the Alpha Centauri system Sol would appear as the brightest star in the W of the Cassiopeia constellation positioned near Eta Cass, which is near her forehead. Why is this highlighted here?? I bought the book (Dole, Stephen H.; Asimov, Isaac (1964). "Planets for man") this is taken from and this visual conjunction is heavily emphasised in the first chapter. The book is all about the requirements of planets to be habitable by mankind in a future when space travel is possible, and I’m sure this would have been read by DB given his interest in astronomy, and that a co-author was Isaac Asimov, and it’s quite probably influenced the Stellar Forge algorithm for habitable planets.
Now if we consider Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost (as I understand it, poetry is not my thing & I’ve not read much of it!) “parent’s grief” (singular) could correspond to “god the father” and “lover’s woe” (singular) could correspond to Adam’s predicament after Eve has been tempted and joins her in tasting the fruit of the “tree of knowledge of good and evil” which, together with Ygdrasil, was placed at the centre of the Garden of Eden. The “yearning of our vagabond hearts” could correspond to Adam & Eve who were then expelled from Eden to become homeless vagabonds.
For “whisperer in witchspace” there are a couple of possibilities. Whisperer, as well as the obvious interpretation of “someone who whispers”, can also mean “one especially skilled in a discipline”. In Star Trek the inventor of fsd drive Zeffam Cochrane lived in Alpha Centauri; however it more likely refers to Sirius Inc who are big in-game in fsd tech, or to Lucifer (& this may fit with the permit-locked Witch’s Reach system), since Lucifer/Satan whispered temptation to Eve and also Satan is the “Siren of the deepest void” who, from Paradise Lost, “by the command of god was driven out of heaven into the great deep”. The system Sirus has a planet named Lucifer.
I think it is also significant for E D lore that Alpha Centauri is one of brightest stars in Earth’s (southern) night sky, and would probably be the first to be explored by interstellar probes and then manned exploration.
It may also be worth considering that Lucifer (meaning “light bringer”) is also a term for the planet Venus. I did wonder if the toast was supposed to lead to somewhere within Sol (first visit Earth, then Venus, then...?) however I can’t see any other body within Sol that could correspond to the third line of the toast & I understand much of the outer bodies of Sol system were added after game release; also the star then doesn’t mach the codex pic.
I (several times) visited in sequence Sol (Earth, then Venus), then Sirius (& landed on Planet Lucifer) then travelled out to planet Eden in Alpha Centauri. I donated a lot of exploration data to Hutton Orbital Truckers Cooperative & spent a couple of months getting allied with and boosting the influence of the cooperative, with a couple of odd missions. I was tasked twice to retrieve structural regulators, and when I got to the crash site each time there was a duplicate set of these items), but nothing that was obviously “a test of skill and courage”.
No orbis wheeled station (or uss) is visible at Eden only the outpost Hutton Orbital. There is a large salvageable wreckage site on the star-side (L1? Didn’t check the precise position) of Eden, whereas the codex pic implies the station should be at Eden’s L2 position away from the star, or perhaps orbiting the star rather than Eden. I visited all 5 Eden-Proxima lagrange points, and also searched above & below Proxima out to about 10kls and also circled around Proxima at approximately the station orbital distance implied by the codex pic, all fruitlessly! though from the lagrange calculator L2 is about 26 Mm from the planet. So it may be that the station only becomes visible when the invitation is given, or perhaps the invitation leads to a permit to access a locked system to get to the station? When investigating the L2 position, carrying no cargo, I was scanned by a clean npc, then attacked by a pirate, both ran off (had no wake scanner to check destination). Investigating L3/4 I got a convoy dispersal USS, which turned out to be a few medical relief ships, being attacked by 3 pirate annacondas (I’m no combat pilot, was destroyed and resurrected back at Al Din Prospect some 0.2ly away).
“A handful of the bravest and most competent pilots of each generation are honoured with an invitation to join the group...it is always they who initiate contact, initially in disguise, revealing their true identity only once a suitable test of courage and skill has been discreetly administered, and passed.”
Maybe I failed the test, or didn’t do the right things to get it, but I have repeated this trip out to Hutton Orbital ad nauseam (more times than I care to think about, going on 50) and am now pretty fed up with the quest!
One other possibility came to mind friday afternoon. Considering the toast a set of directions (to...to...to...), on the galmap if you visually line up Sol through Sirius it leads (possibly) to the unknown-permit-locked LFT 509....
One thought here. If Sol is the brightest star in Cassiopeia for Alpha Centauri, what is the brightest star for Tau Ceti? I should to check angles and distances.
au contraire cmdr.
I have kept the location of this moon a secret. No station as such but I intend to do a thorough search in the SRV this coming week. I shall report my findings in due course.
I like your thinking Jorki….really enjoyed that tinfoil journey into your thinking. May have sparked a few ideas for me.
4 I's 2 C - have often wondered if this is how its read, a system with 4 x GG & 9 moons and 2 GG with 3 moons....or something....coordinates? (I may as well tinfoil about this I have nothing else to go on)
I too think DW station, if it still exists, is near Sol, has to be, was 'disused' when the DW took it over in the first place meaning it had been built, used and abandoned all in the early stages of interstellar travel, ideally somewhere near Lave et al. How many people travel straight up or down from the bubble rather than 'out' in a 'flat' direction, often wondered how unexplored the planes are around the bubble. If it was 2000 LY out from the bubble it should have a connected story as to why it was built in the first place, but that in no way excludes it, it just 'should' exclude it.
I have a nagging doubt most of it is time-locked, wont happen until a certain date regardless of what we do, but the hints from DB & MB that it is there lead me on....not complaining.
Has anybody from Fdev confirmed the existence of the DW as such and said that it is possible to do something that makes them initiate contact at the moment? I cant find anything as such, mentions of Raxxla but very little of the DW itself spoken about.
And I still don't know who the DW are. All these mentions of hidden, black ops, some kind of military outfit etc from the beacons all over - I think its supposed to read as The Club in various guises but Salome herself refers to a 'shadowy revolution' in a very strange grammatical way. Could Shadowy = Dark, Revolution = Wheel....maybe? So maybe its the DW and not The Club? Maybe that's the everything we know is a lie bit. But if it is, what do I do with that info, not a flipping clue!

Mmm, I quite like the “shadowy revolution” as a hint to the Dark Wheel, but since (from Premonition) Rebecca, Salomé et al were supposed to be part of the DW, and they are at odds with The Club, then I suspect that doesn’t lead us anywhere. I think the black ops hints are to AEGIS, The Club etc & not TDW, who are (from the codex) supposed to be adventurers and explorers rather than a military outfit. I think AEGIS & The Club are successors to INRA, but the Club are powerful elitists who want to save their own hides, and those of the wealthy elite members of society. The codex confirms, sort of, the existence of TDW. My last post gives a pretty strong hint who I think TDW are, or at least one of the wheels, since Premonition also tells us it is an organisation of wheels within wheels. Of course there are several other factions in that system, so I might have chosen the wrong one to get allied with!
Can no longer agree it’s fun, after so many trips out there I’ve totally lost my sense of humour!!! But I may do it once more to see if I can get those 3 annies again, I’m in my battlewagon krait now so might stand a chance....
I also find that apparent alignment to LFT509 intriguing...
We know from ED change notes that Witch’s Reach had military convoys added, so does that mean it was not originally permit locked? Or was it locked from game release and this upgrade added in that knowledge as another clue? Not that it helps since we have absolutely no idea how to get the permit- the galmap entry says explicitly it’s locked by Pilots Federation, so do we need to do some test for PF? Are they the real DW?
One thought here. If Sol is the brightest star in Cassiopeia for Alpha Centauri, what is the brightest star for Tau Ceti? I should to check angles and distances.
The thing I found interesting to contemplate is why is that fact brought out so explicitly in the wiki, and who could have inserted it- seems to be a clue!

It’s an intriguing hypothesis as it seems to address all the “clues” and likely FD design thinking quite well. Just extremely frustrating that I can’t get it to produce any result!!!
