We’re still well in the realms of there being multiple viable interpretations of things, with no definitive confirmation of any particular interpretation.

The last log of 23B says there was an explosion believed to be the communications, so I would expect the base's ability to decrypt a transmission was lost at that point .... and it sounds intentional which makes sense, in the real world destroying decryption cyphers and equipment is common if a base is abandoned and there isn't time to remove it.
Hey, guess that's my introductory post.
Sorry if something has been already posted since yesterday, but I couldn't sleep and had time to think
I think there is something (important) missing.
I don't think it matters, what kind of propulsion the Adamastor had, or if FDev got it technically correct. As Babylon 5 has already been mentioned, I'll do it as well: The Adamastor is traveling at the speed of plot.
Let's look at the log. So the Adamastor did travel in three days from Chukchan to the listening post, then in one day from the listening post to coalsack. What matters here is 3 days is longer than one. Why the delay?
There is an entry for the 28.10.3111. The Adamastor did something on the 28th. The entry is missing. Not a crippled message due to the malfunctioning log like from the 29th when having "the object" close or on board, but completely missing. Maybe it was important enough to be deleted before things went from bad to worse.
Now, if I look at the LP Message it isn't an "incomplete snippet from an overheard transmission" like the example LP posted a while ago.
Someone deliberately sent a message to what is presumably a "dead letter box".
I do not think it is just a ciphered message, it looks too structured for that. I think it is a code as in "a set of commands", like navigation data or orders, which need the correct interpreter to read. At most it is a set of commands that was encoded as well.
So, if Azimuth (or whoever has been pulling the strings) wanted to transmit entcrypted data, the top-of-the-line security measures would surely focus on hiding the key, not the message.
I think, the Amastador did indeed depart with only 370 LY of fuel towards Barnard's Loop from Chukchan. At that time they had two planned stops: Some yet not known system, and Synuefe XE-Y C17-7 as the final destination. Along the way, they did pick up something, which I assume is more detailed information, more fuel, the mercenaries, and the key to read the LP.
tl;dr:
I think there is some missing hint to be found between Chukchan and Synuefe XE-Y C17-7. With it, the LP message can be read. The LP message also most likely explains, why the Adamastor did not heed straight back to Chuckan (or what the final destination was).

I had the same thoughts after listening to all of the logs in-game.
If it was a Faraday Cage then I would have expected the head scientist to call it such by name. The lower-case and single word "cage" being used twice in the logs to me indicates and actual cage to contain a living thing.
That it was breaking down materials also indicates to me it was covered in or exuding the Thargoid corrosive green goo.
To me, I think they recovered a hurt or dying Thargoid pilot.
I think you're on to something there, with the release of odyssey coming up, ground combat with thargoids would need a reveal of sorts. And if you look up the mythological meaning of adamastor, odyssey is mentioned.
Eradini 64 means nothing to the galactic map...
I'll find the full information when I've finished work
Gonna stick my neck out and say that @Lister_Of_Smegg meant 64 Eridani.
No worries, apparently it means nothing or the value has been squeezed from the system already.
I think I'll hang up my tinfoil hat and just wait for the uber nerds to wrap this thing up. I'll check back in another three years or so... just to see what happened.... and to see if anything actually came out of it.

Possibly, sorry for my lack of info
Any news from Bletchley Park yet?
No worries, it's just a typo in the spelling of Eridani and a mix up of the order of the name and number. No big deal. (Also it was nice to have an easy puzzle to solve as a little break from the LP stuff!
)Edit - having said that, there might be a mix up in the actual numbers as well! 64 Eridani is a real star, but it doesn't seem to be in EDSM. Alternate names tried: S Eridani*, HD 32045, HIP 23231, HR 1611. Haven't checked in-game.
* s Eridani is a different star to S Eridani.

There is a "64 S Eridani" in the game, which does have an A class primary. But it's nowhere near the Coalsack...
Why take more fuel and the mercenaries without knowing their future secret mission?
So what is it? LHS 1047 or Alaunus?
Well the generation ship is in Alaunus 27kls until I'm there
