The Quest To Find Raxxla

Yeah, didn't really think there would be anything unscanned, was just a double check before looking at other stuff.There is nothing that is unscanned in the system. I was lucky that all the sub stars have rings in their branch. If not, I wouldn't have been able to probe them.
The result comes out like this: "ScanType":"Detailed", "BodyName":"34 P Cygni 5 B Ring", "BodyID":13, "Parents":[ {"Planet":11}, {"Null":9}, {"Star":0} ], "StarSystem":"34 P Cygni"
It's a nice system for mining, if you bring an FC. Lots of expensive material hot spots. I don't even have a mining laser.
One would expect the 7 and 8 IDs to be planets / moons in orbit around 34 P Cygni 3, outside the A ring. I doubt there is room for an orbit between 3 and 4/5.Yeah, didn't really think there would be anything unscanned, was just a double check before looking at other stuff.
The ring on 3 is wide, so I guess a couple of tiny moons could hide inside the ring?
Could also be a couple of comets. In that case, I have no idea how to search.
Ahhh, the old HolyHop drive. He always had a blind spot with 7. Took them to a parallel universe where the gender attitudes of the 1990's were reversed.
I have that COVAS on my mining ship, which is a type-10 painted red and named "Red Dwarf". (Sure it's not the only one in the ED universe
) but if I hear him say "Frame shift drive engaged" one more time, I'm going to fly it into the nearest black hole

I think it's clear that Astrophel in the poem Astrophel and Stella, refers to the author Phillip Sidney. Sidney was know as the Swan, due to the similarity of the words Sidney and cygne. In a eulogy by Edmund Spenser, he is described as a swan that dies and rises to the heavens to become a star sign......
I was also hoping for 34 dots in the Raxxla symbol, but it seems most likely to be 33(unless we count the dot in the middle).
"The poem consists of 3 prefatory stanzas, 33 stanzas of elegy, and 3 describing the grief of Astrophel's fellow shepherds, in sixains rhyming ababcc. The concluding lines prepare the reader for another elegy, "The Dolefull Lay of Clorinda", presumably written by the Countess of Pembroke.[6] "

33 stanzas.... Mmmm...
oh and ababcc stood out....
ab = 171
ab = 171
cc = 204
Nothing there that I can see in the Gal Map...
Funny you mention number 33 in astronomy there is a Messier Object M33 which is also referred to as the constellation Triangulum which is also known as Triangulum Galaxy.
I remember hearing about the number 33 has a lot of mystery as well.
Even the number 3 has some going on but I recall what exactly anymore. I doubt this has any relevance to Raxxla or anything I figure I put it out there as it was the first thing that came to mind.

Interesting. Could correspond to Raxxla logo, where we have:"The poem consists of 3 prefatory stanzas, 33 stanzas of elegy, and 3 describing the grief of Astrophel's fellow shepherds, in sixains rhyming ababcc.

6x6 sided shapes on the outside
Then 33 dots
Then 3 dashes
Before the final circle and dot???
Where are you getting 171, 171, 204 from?
An audio signal I been made aware of by a source who wishes to stay confidential for the time being.
Nice summary and strong leads.I'm currently out and about in 34 P Cygni: https://www.edsm.net/en/system/id/6097757/name/34+P+Cygni
Why?
I think it's clear that Astrophel in the poem Astrophel and Stella, refers to the author Phillip Sidney. Sidney was know as the Swan, due to the similarity of the words Sidney and cygne. In a eulogy by Edmund Spenser, he is described as a swan that dies and rises to the heavens to become a star sign.
P = Philip and perhaps Princess
Cygni = Sidney = Astrophel
I was also hoping for 34 dots in the Raxxla symbol, but it seems most likely to be 33(unless we count the dot in the middle).
P Cygni brightened considerably in the year 1600 (shortly after Sidney's death) and was a considered a possible Nova, by Kepler and other astronomers.
The system has 'spiralling stars'. 4 Y class dwarfs. 3 with large rings and one with a planet. The planet is not landable, but has two rings it self.
The system is also a decent 'Gate to Elysium', as it's right on the border to the Elysian fields region.
I haven't found anything mysterious in the system, but there is plenty of places to hide something in the rings.
I do have a question though. I peaked at my Journal log file and spotted that the system body IDs are a bit odd.
They are:
BodyID 0: 34 P Cygni
BodyID 1: 34 P Cygni 1
BodyID 2: 34 P Cygni 1 A ring
BodyID 3: 34 P Cygni 2
BodyID 4: 34 P Cygni 2 A ring
BodyID 5: 34 P Cygni 3
BodyID 6: 34 P Cygni 3 A ring
BodyID 9: Null (Center for 4 and 5 pair)
BodyID 10: 34 P Cygni 4
BodyID 11: 34 P Cygni 5
BodyID 12: 34 P Cygni 5 A ring
BodyID 13: 34 P Cygni 5 B ring
7 and 8 are missing. I wonder if this is normal or if it is a sign of something hidden?
Does the system have a couple of barycenters perhaps?
7 and 8 could be barycenters. Perhaps if someone could check a system with barycenter or two for comparison? (sorry I'm off to bed now, so I can't test it myself)
I've seen something similar when you scan a new system via EDD and it throws up a temp-barycenter (a fake 3d-planet as a placeholder) until the siblings have been scanned.
If the barycenter needs to be tracked by Starforge it would make sense that they have an ID.
Hmm, I wonder if the SF simulates shepard moons but doesn’t actually present them as objects.
I think we just need to establish a couple of baseline examples for comparison. Having looked at a couple of logs, here's phase 1.
Pareco:
- Travel to Pareco
- Honk
- FSS scan all system objects including stations
- Check logs
- Do logs give the Stations' Body IDs from having FSS'd?
- If yes, post all Body Names and ID's from Pareco here. Done.
- If no, continue below
- Travel to each station one by one (no need to enter station, just exit supercruise at the station as normal then re-enter supercruise and proceed to next station.
- Get the Stations' (and other) Body IDs from the logs and post all Body Names and IDs from Pareco here. Done.
Can't do it myself at the moment, so over to anyone who's in the vicinity of Pareco, is on PC and who fancies giving it a look!

Looks familiar but it's hard to tell from the image.
Can they provide the original audio file?
It is reminiscent of part of the thargoid probe spectrogram map.
But since this thread is for sharing ideas, hypotheses, & wild theories related to Raxxla I’ll respect the confidentiality and ignore it.
I think the Astrophel poem is hard to analyse. The old language is tricky, for a non native English speaker."The poem consists of 3 prefatory stanzas, 33 stanzas of elegy, and 3 describing the grief of Astrophel's fellow shepherds, in sixains rhyming ababcc. The concluding lines prepare the reader for another elegy, "The Dolefull Lay of Clorinda", presumably written by the Countess of Pembroke.[6] "

The same can be said for Astrophel and Stella, but I found a decent translation for that one: https://www.poetryintranslation.com/PITBR/English/Sidney1thru27.php
By the way, the 'eulogy' I was referring to is Ruines of Time: https://www.bartleby.com/153/19.html
The astronomy stuff starts on line 589.
The system has one barycenter. It's the one denoted as {"Null":9}. It's the parent of 34 P Cygni 4 and 34 P Cygni 5.
Will ask. Cheers
Huh? I kinda thought it was 36, like 36 decans of the ancient Egyptian astronomy. That would have been cool.
So was there like 33 regions in the galaxy or something?
Got my Type-7 spinning so it produces perfect Imperial gravity, great conditions for eating canned Irukama snails and binge watching Onionhead Channel on Galaxy TV, so can't check at least for a few days.
Maybe it's a leap year
Quote:They were able to calculate that the Sun took 365 days to complete its cycle by noting the time between one heliacal rising of Sirius and the next. For ease of division they adopted a year of twelve 30-day months and added an extra 5-day period at the end of the year, which was mainly used for festivities

old astrology deals in my option a lot with mnemonic and magic/psychology far from science
36 Decans Example with "nice" Numbers:
1 = ? (spirit)
2 = polarity (plus - minus)
3 = out-going, expansive, returning (cardinal fix mutable)
4 = hot, cold, moist, dry (fire water air earth)
12 = is circular, recurrently, birth live death and so on (zodiac)
3 + 4 = 7 planets
3 * 12 = 36 decans
Aries - plus - cardinal - fire
Taurus - minus - fix - earth
Gemini - plus - mutable - air
Cancer - minus - cardinal - water
Leo - plus - fix - fire
Virga - minus - mutable - earth
Libra - plus - cardinal - air
Scorbio - minus - fix - water
Sagittarius - plus - mutable - fire
Capricorn - minus - cardinal - earth
Aquarius - plus - fix - air
Pisces - minus - mutable - water
