Raxxla 8th Moon, The companion site for Elite:Dangerous with the game database, market data, trade routes, outfitting, engineers, blueprints, crafting, Thargoid war, squadrons One thing to note, what are we trying to find, Raxxala or TDW station. Right now, there's nothing to suggest that Raxxla is a star system, planet, or a place on a planet, a star, black hole, etc. It is Neptune's eighth moon, and it's permit-locked. When exploring I never pass on checking out the 8th moon of any of them! One day. The myth. Drew is no longer actively maintaining The original Raxxla is a planet with a Coriolis station also named "Raxxla" in Galaxy 9, Andromeda. What youre talking about is the Dark Wheels original location, orbiting the 8th moon of a gas giant. I don’t think the sonnet has anything to do with TDW or Raxxla. So Gas Giant with an 8th moon, if the story has any clout. I think once we find that station, something there, maybe a mission or passenger mission will lead us to Raxxla. By investigating I mean possible getting It's the Dark Wheel station that's rumoured to be orbiting the 8th moon - not Raxxla. I suspect thats one of the moons in the picture and likely the 8th moon that the station is in orbit around is directly behind the camera. It likely requires an elite rank to access. And a forgotten legend that echoes the Dark Wheel. Perhaps My latest lore video is live, this time we delve into the greatest mysteries of the Elite Dangerous Universe, the legend of the Dark Wheel and the myth of Raxxla. Shame, cause the ice giant actually does have an eighth moon. The last planet may have Assuming we could track down some silent running station hanging around the 8th moon of some fuck, what would we really have been able to do there? Again, our only interface with the world outside our The Great Raxxla Potato Hunt is a survey of all systems within 200 ly of Sol, in order to find Raxxla or determine that it is not scannable in that area. EDIT: It’s also worth noting that the 8th moon reference is That 8th moon refers to the location of the original Dark Wheel, not Raxxla. But that may just be wishful thinking. Like searching a needle in a haystack, the 8th moon of a gas giant is the rarest thing to find. The alignment of said 2 signal from that story by my A player initiative to uncover the mystery of Raxxla started this year and its starting to see some tentative results. The more likely explanation is it's simply a myth with just enough information to keep us According to self-professed Dark Wheel expert Lyta Crane, a conspiracy theorist and 'people's journalist' who has painstakingly assembled an archive of relevant data, the original group was based in a I personally don't believe in this whole 8th moon of a gas giant story - I'll check them but I have zero expectations to find anything. And when found one, this happened#elitedangerous 1d) 8th moon of a gas giant, toroid low power station 1e) the image for the darkwheel in the screen in the codex could be a clue (close star, maybe the actual station) 540 votes, 294 comments. Raxxla itself is a feudal world with reptile race with higher technology level than humans. Long story short, I think I think that if we want to find Raxxla, we need to find The Dark Wheel STATION first, what do we know about TDW? - It orbits 8th moon of an undefined gas giant - Faction is looking only for the best of the You'd need the arrangement to have the M-star cobinary with the gas giant, at a tight enough separation that for at least some of its orbit the 8th moon was within 10Ls of the star. So a I also found it interesting that the moon, if visited at the right time can nearly align (haven't watched that long) with the gas giant in the sky. com) Introduction The Great Raxxla Potato Hunt is a survey of all star Still it wouldn't be too hard to filter all populated systems with a 8th moon orbiting a gas giant and investigate those with an Orbis station orbiting it. Rumor has it that it's Also it wasn't orbiting the H moon, it was orbiting the moon of the G moon, so G A. It might not be Raxxla, but there might be something there in very low orbit, beyond what we can see from the distance we can get to it. (8th moon of a gas giant apparently) it might only be detectable visually. The Dark Wheel station might be closer, or even in the bubble itself, so We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. As far as I know everything officially mentioned by FD regarding Raxxla is on the front page, but I stand This is an archive of Drew Wagar's lore guide, available here with his kind permission. I'm admittedly not as experienced a CMDR in a lot of things Elite:Dangerous, especially Raxxla; but I know a bit about The Quest To Find Raxxla - Place that isn't a place, door that is also the key. But like I said, the station is player made. This ship log will be used to document the assumptions, facts, theories and efforts surrounding I did mention say that was a possibily, that TDW is hidding behind an actual starport and another faction. But like LFT 509, if it's locked, a commander And separately, I don't believe the station and Raxxla actually have anything to do with each other in terms of location. The in-game codex say that the Dark Wheel operate from a thoroid (wheel) station running at minimal capacity to stay undetected (Dark) and would be around I always just went ahead and assumed Raxxla is - or is on - The Moon. The only system in the game that you have to have Elite rank to enter is Shinrarta. Got excited for a minute there. Take into account that in 6 years we’re at Personally, I think Raxxla is a body with a ring. Foreman Guy stood at the nearly-finished small Tourism settlement The original Raxxla is a planet with a Coriolis station also named "Raxxla" in Galaxy 9, Andromeda. Heart and soul nebula, nothing, horse head, locked! Col 70 locked! My theory is we won’t find Raxxla till we find the Dark Wheel Station. It might be the case that he had just seen planet 8 and the image of the planet he saw after dropping wasn't like Strange picture, 0 day old account, username mentions the "Eighth Moon". If anyone had ever found anything, an object, text, a mission, a place, anything related to Raxxla, then chasing this After some late night thinking, albeit lacking in sleep somewhat, I think I have a vaguely supportable theory about the location of Raxxla. Much like the ancient myths of Atlantis, El Dorado and the kingdom of Prester John, the interpretations of the story range from the skeptical to the outlandish: Raxxla has been suggested to be anything Just like the Formidine Rift ship was an abandoned Anaconda before it was remade properly in a megaship, I bet Raxxla is there as a basic unlandable planet in case we find it, but planned to be After some late night thinking, albeit lacking in sleep somewhat, I think I have a vaguely supportable theory about the location of Raxxla. A scrambled nav beacon. In my theory (i dont think its earth/moon, just an You're mistaken the Dark wheel and Raxxla. Robert Holdstock did many of the embellishments to the game that appeared Everything we know about Raxxla (with citations ;)) Raxxla Hi guys, in my efforts to avoid doing any work today, I've gone down a rabbit hole learning about Raxxla. The system is likely close to colonized space, being that early accounts began to spread when galactic travel was in its infancy. Sure, they continued to sow seeds of rumours - after all the more It was a dark and stormy night on HIP 666 6 a, a sulphur dioxide (brimstone, of course) thin atmospheric landable moon. It is in the Originally posted by PK Ultra: Raxxla is some kind of planet-sized guardian ship that jumps to other galaxies (which is NOT currently in our galaxy), YouTube™ Video: That's no moon. We should still be looking for a gas giant with at least 8 moons but we Much like the ancient myths of Atlantis, El Dorado and the kingdom of Prester John, interpretations of the story range from the sceptical to the outlandish: Raxxla has been suggested to By that logical Raxxla ought to be on an eastern direction from the Alex of Chaos, that being very close to the Thetis signal. Eyes on are the only way to locate it. That's at least something that could exist with known in game assets. i'm inclined to think that the eighth moon of a gas giant is simply the eighth moon of a probably B,C,D LYT star. But technically it could be the 8th moon of the gas giant. Anyway we can search for decommissioned star ports? Or just really old ones? We still would have had to discover it before galaxy travel, the dark wheel station is supposed to be a stealth station around the 8th moon of a gas giant but I've heard rumors raxxla is an entire stealth And if we look at the dark wheels image it also features an orrery, and on the 2nd path (same path as Raxxla's brokenline), is 3 circles, insinuating that the system in the dark Wheel image Raxxla is undoubtedly the biggest mystery in the game to date, and it seems like we are still where we began searching years ago. Tourist beacon in Shinrarta tells us that Raxxla is in a system that you have to be Elite rank to enter. The omphalos (the circle and dot) are the rotational axis of the station where you can pick up Orbiting the 8th moon of an unknown gas giant. Why I suggested looking for populated systems with a 8th moon and perhaps try This would be acceptable as long as I said in game there were many fake rumors, potentially like it's on the 8th moon of a gas giant or some bs like that. And the reason is the past tense used by the codex entry to No, TDW’s 8th moon station is not disguised as an ice moon, it’s just a normal toroidal station orbiting an ice moon but running at much reduced power so it won’t be detected very easily Raxxla was a legend from almost 40 years ago, and Fdev is still stringing people along. In this instance TDW station I believe. The Triton connection is striking — it's the 8th moon of a gas giant, matching the Dark Wheel station description, locked by a faction called "Mother" Gaia. This might be the biggest clue to Raxxla’s true location or anot What We know. The whole ‘someone honked the system’ bit is totally unconfirmed I also imagine Raxxla is a long way out of the bubble, otherwise the system would get lots of traffic and it would too easily be found. EG, the 1st moon of the 7th planet that just happens to be the 8th moon Long time lurker here. Long story short, I think it's at Triton, . Plus Drew Wagar did a stream a few months ago where he summed everything up. A missing codex. It should be a landable body, after all, but it isn't for some reason. Elite Dangerous: Elite Dangerous Lore Raxxla: Secrets of the Seventh Moon The Dark Wheel novel that came with the original Elite 1984 game said raxxla was an interdimensional gateway used to travel between different universes, however, that apparently doesn't apply to Raxxla Now for this theory; i propose that Raxxla could be within the Hyponia Region. Much like the ancient myths of Atlantis, El Dorado and the kingdom of Prester John, interpretations of the story range from the sceptical to the outlandish: Raxxla has been suggested to be anything from This was the only known way to find Raxxla without deeper involvement with the Dark Wheel. In the Codex, it says Assuming the Codex is saying the truth, the station is orbiting the 8th moon of a gas giant, so it has to have at least 8 bodies orbiting it, not counting Probably the unassuming fourth moon of some gas giant orbiting a secondary star more than 300,000 ls from the main star, just to discourage people from flying out that far to surface scan it I've been doing some 8th moon tourism lately. It might be any or all of those things, but the fact that the Codex is What you are talking about is not Raxxla, but the Dark Wheel station "Self-professed "people's journalist" and Dark Wheel expert Lyta Crane has created an extensive archive of Just like the codex icon for the Dark Wheel is an Orbis station, the Raxxla icon is the back of a space station. It's speculative, naturally. Reply reply Alexandur • Isn't that the Dark Wheel Reply reply Funny how this is posted so soon after that photoshopped evidence on reddit/facebook. But it might be a step in the right direction, according to Lore The Dark Originally posted by God: It will not show with just a honk or a full system scan. Would probably have RAXXLA (Items of Note, False (Raxxla does not exist, A player has visited the system of Raxxla, "honked" and then left, Raxxla has been found), Rumor (Drew The dark wheel is meant to be a low power (dark) station orbiting the 8th moon of a gas giant and probably won’t show up on any sort of scan at distance. . "disused starport orbiting the eighth moon of an unnamed gas giant" Dark Wheel location from the codex. The wiki for it has: "Hyponia is a region in the Perseus Arm surrounded by some GETTING STARTED Great Raxxla Potato Hunt CMDR MiloGreenRanger (milogreenranger@gmail. Is raxxla a thing in this elite? or is it just mere speculation, and if it has been discovered is it permit locked? Is Raxxla a planet? An artifact? A gate? The Codex calls it “the whisperer in witchspace, the siren of the deepest void. ” That’s all anyone has to go on, apart from scattered myths and Of course, there are now permit locked systems in some of those areas, so it could be that they have deliberately locked the system it is in now. There's also a water planet in the system, tagged as Conservatively speaking, systems probably have around 8-10 bodies on average? If you think about the number of bodies to search, the odds of a player just happening to stumble across something in the The 8th moon of a gas giant is the supposed location of The Dark Wheel station, not Raxxla. Yep you cant be more suspicious than that. It's good to assume Raxxla is the name of a legendary planet, first featured in the novella The Dark Wheel by Robert Holdstock, which came packaged with the original Elite game Yeah, he doesn't mention if the USS was near planet 8 which he's definitely in the vicinity of. Lets have it for the mysterious semi-transparant 8th planet visible after entering a USS thousands of In the end those controlling Raxxla concluded that the way to control their position was just to make Raxxla appear completely normal. The only way to get to Raxxla was to use Ben Ryder's gateway which was located near Lave and Tionisla I'm a bit of an armchair raxxla hunter and whilst on my way to the collection of wonders I found a previously undiscovered system of interest, which contains a water-life gas giant with 8 moons. I announced the project about a month ago - this post The ambiguity surrounding Raxxla has given rise to various theories and interpretations, doubt and detractors, all contributing to its status as a There is a gas giant in Sol, and its eighth moon, Callisto, is named after the mythological figure that was placed in the sky as Ursa Major! This could also point to the location of Raxxla: Callisto's son The following lines may sound familiar to those who have pursued Raxxla: Raxxla is a journey that every commander must travel for themselves. what station is this? is that an Earth like with a moon, a water (water gas) with rings and 4 moons, and a gas giant (with a a little water, a lot It's very tightly related to an ancient organization called the Dark Wheel, who may be operating from a very low-power, stealthy station, in orbit of the 8th moon of some unknown gas giant. The moon being "behind" earth, so the sun light hits all of earth, and the moon. I've While looking for RAXXLA I was doing missions for “The Dark Wheel” in Shinrarta Dezra. It could even be in geostationary orbit on the dark side of a moon. What frustrated me the most is that I The darkwheel rumoured M class star and 8th moon theory is part speculation part codex entry but no one has found them. The codex refers to Astrophel and the Spiralling Stars as a childrens book, not a ridiculously lengthy 15th Full moon for earth = a moon, earth, and sun, in a straight line. The E:D community though is not small, and we all know what can be Raxxla is an icy body (the smallest of a dozen or so) orbiting a class III gas giant which is orbiting an M class red dwarf in a binary system where star is 100,000 Ls from arrival point. Create a camouflaged faction (or alien race) to To the jewel that burns on the brow of the mother of galaxies! To the whisperer in witchspace, the siren of the deepest void! The parent's grief, the lover's woe, Raxxla was actually Robert Holdstock's baby (the author of "The Dark Wheel", which shipped with 8 bit versions of the game). The more realistic first step IMO is the Dark Wheel station, said to be orbiting the 8th moon of a gas giant. Self-professed "people's journalist" and Dark Wheel expert Lyta Crane has created an extensive archive of information related to the Dark Wheel, and claims that the group was founded in and operated out No, TDW’s 8th moon station is not disguised as an ice moon, it’s just a normal toroidal station orbiting an ice moon but running at much reduced power so it won’t be detected very easily (remember ship’s Raxxla, if it even exists (which I have my doubts) more than likely is locked behind an unobtainable permit. Low power and Another user pointed out that the Eighth Moon thing is for the Dark Wheel, not Raxxla. That's only an assumption from out of the game lore. I finished a mission and was on my way back to Jameson when I got interdicted by what I initially thought was an HIP22460 - What if the clue in the codex is like a Chinese whisper - Dark wheel base 8th moon of a Gas Giant - originally B moon of a Gas giant 8-B - Overlook is/was the Darkwheel/Club Ain't nothing there, it's an empty, icy moon. Pulled data from EDSM and filtered for systems with 8 moons, plotted routes with shorter jumps. ma2, r4fr, 7kjlwk, 9ps, hoym1a, uz, mu7y1x, ftxc, 3vre, s9f, hn0t, 2jf0, 75x49g, a1p, spu, jzq, bl, kizj, zs1, zf3o, rumzgtg, 03vyeut, 7hji0, gnl, zre3sc, oo, lczegsh, na, y3hmog5, tmf, \
