Asteroid belts would make ideal hiding candidates as us explorers get 0 credits for scanning them. So, there is literally no incentive to do so. I do it more so for completionist/accurate mining info on the public databases. The same can be said for rings.
The Quest To Find Raxxla
- Thread starter Macros Black
- Start date
Hyperspace was available long before 2800. It was used on probes as early as the 2130s.
Achenar was colonized at about the time of the 2296 log of Raxxla, so the radius of operation was far outside Sol's closest neighbors.
That's still a hell of lot of systems. Really hoping the gazettes from First Encounters ultimately yield some clues. Specifically, that 70,000 figure for generation ships isn't something FDev pulled from thin air. All the systems in the First Encounters gazette where Bubbles (aka generation ships) were built are in the game under the identical name. I have a list of four systems I need to go visit that will hopefully either approximate direction these launched in, target systems, or similar types of info. Project Dynasty wasn't the only one interested in long duration voyages to the fringes of civilized space (though I'd argue most of the ones that are known fit the profile of the crew being sacrificed to keep the project under wraps). Even knowing the approximate zones the generation ships were sent would be huge boon for the Raxxla hunt as we might be able to at least make some sort of educated guess about where the discovery happened. I still think the pirate cache mention on the Tornvquist journal will be important as well as the journal being from Tau Ceti itself.
NOTE: Whatever the Mars Artifact was, clearly left an impression on whomever found it. It the discovery of Raxxla happened in the generation ship era, someone was deeply scared of what they found. One other thing, let's hypothetically say Marlin Duval was somehow privy to what the Mars Artifact was, that means INRA or its pre-cursor organization(s) came from this same era, too.

The mention of a pirates stash, always intrigued me…
If we take the Codex as accurate and literal, then it gives us a search radius, if we continue to trust the Codex surely anarchy systems within or in close proximity to this area should be given priority over others, due to their natural attraction for pirates?

I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand what it is: FE2 ?
There's Frontier and I don't even remember Targoids there.
There's FFE and there they are.
What game are you talking about? In fact Frontier Elite 2 is not really interesting in terms of theme.
I was under the impression that the sol system was more or less directly imported from older games, but the elements in Elite Dangerous do not seem to match. Would it be possibly for someone with access to the older games to post the elements for mercury, venus, and ceres as well to see how they compare to ED?
Looking at Triton's Elements in ED sparked an idea why it might be permit locked. The negative inclination, and negative orbital period might have broken some aspect of how things work/are updated in real time in game on the surface, and fixing it was not practical for whatever reason. So to avoid the problem they added the permit lock. Normally inclination is between 0 and 180.
So, Triton is one of the really weird moons of the Sol System. It likely started out as Kuiper Belt Object and was gravitationally captured by Neptune.
I think it was locked as soon as Horizons was released. Before Horizon there were no planets/moons with a permit. We couldn't land anyway.
I havnt seen much of the reading into of the below places being sprung to action, they are also mentioned in the codex and there locations/hypothosis/storys may help in our search, there is one key thing about them all, each one was tied in around Ethiopia during a very close stage in the Seventeenth century, Astrophel and spiraling stars are somewhat referred to as the Seven stars of the Pleiades and may hint at the "Seventeenth century link and may also include other refences such as the Seven cities of gold in El Dorado and the Seven towers of Atlantis etc etc.
Also another place also with links to the above, there also is a system named the same and it references Delphi etc and not to far from Achenar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperborea

And for now so is Raxxla both for us and by in game Lore Raxxla is the space equivalent....The point being the only clues we have are in the Codex and these 3 places are mentioned
Seven it's probably not about Raxxla, but about the Targoids...
Raxxla is six.
Thats right, and all of the codex is written so as to be deniable. Everywhere its Statement x, followed by statement ~x. Some say its a place - others compare it to know myths that never existed. And so on.
Does the codex give any clues? If we read at face value, no. The opening is the toast of some hopefuls who never found it. It could just describe what they think it might be and why they are looking for it etc. Then the rest is just full of maybe and speculation.
Are there hidden clues and hints? If there are then they have utterly failed to find their mark. No further progress has been made since the codex was issued.
So if we assume that the codex is actually empty and not helpful then what? We need to go back to the story as it was at the beginning, and find what was apparent then.
This all assumes there is something to be found, but if you're in this thread then I assume you're on the hunt, like myself, though I must say my patience is wearing thin.

Missing Body IDs are probably comets.
List of bodies in Tau Ceti:
As you can see, there are two empty IDs in the list. These are located between Tau Ceti 5 and 6. In the game, there is nothing there.
It used to be though:
Avagadro's Enterprise used to orbit an invisible comet, between TauCeti 5 and 6. The station now orbit a planet, but the comet is probably stil there. It also seem to have a twin.
