Somehow a friend of mine theorize that "The Hesperus Mystery" was an introduction to some huge event coming in near future, related to the "Nine Martyrs" tragedy.

Does anyone knows more details about Hesperus?

"The Wreck of the Hesperus" is a poem by H W Longfellow. You can find it here: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44654/the-wreck-of-the-hesperus

With inspiration like that I'm guessing nothing bad would have happened to the mega ship.

Thoughts on Raxxla?

Claudette De La CroixThoughts on Raxxla?


No one (well, no one outside of FDev, that is) can know for sure. All we do know is that it does exist, and that it's ingame somewhere. But whether it's a system, a planet, an outpost or a faction, we simply don't know. There are, of course, endless theories!

Just curious, how are we certain it's already in game?

My suspicion is that Raxxla exists as a station or other base, locked in one of the permit locked systems, reserved for later content, and that whatever system it is in will be renamed once that is released.

Because FDev had said so. This is taken from the ED Wiki:

In September 2015, Drew Wagar - one of the official writers for Elite Dangerous - stated "I spoke to David Braben directly in 2014 and he confirmed to me that 'It’s out there and we (FD) know where it is.' – So it does exist." Michael Brookes said “There will be no clues.”

In March 2019, Drew Wagar reaffirmed that he had been told by Michael Brooks in no uncertain terms that Raxxla is indeed in the game, and that the developers know exactly where it is.

Raxxla is in the Milky Way. This was confirmed during DJTruthsayer's lore interview with Michael Brookes. Question: "Where is Raxxla?" Brookes: "Well it's in the Milky Way, but I can't tell you where it is. It's a journey that everyone has to travel for themselves." Question: "You have said that there will be no clues though?" Brookes: "That's true, but I think you have to make some of it a tiny bit obvious just so people know what they're doing. There's nothing to be revealed at this stage."

This is my thought also. But who knows? Apart from FDev, that is!

There were examples in ED's past that some important pieces of Lore and narrative are introduced in some regions, waiting for explorers to find them.

I think its the case of Raxxla. It is there somewhere in the Galaxy, waiting to be discovered...

“Smart money was on them being funded by Empire’s enemies, but now the NMLA treat the Alliance and Federation as equal targets. Hitting all three superpower capitals was a hugely symbolic gesture, and should have been impossible. How did they bypass security and plant explosives without detection? Who the hell are these people?”

My point exactly. There much, much more than a ragtag terrorist group behind this tragedy. I mean, look at the strategic scope of all coordinated attacks. See the distances, the complexity of different levels of security, the huge damage and the weapons used.

I sense the hands of unknown powerful people from all three great powers. I sense a new Power coming to reclaim its place in this Galactic game.

Ever since they mentioned it first I put my money on the Jupiter Division being the secret Federal backers of the NMLA. And with Rochester now having been exposed and arrested both organizations have propably gone totally unhinged.

Is there a collection of all confirmed data about Raxxla?

Might it be possible that those purported few AI might be behind this in an attempt to gain a foothold?

What's unhinged is believing Democracy rather than Corporate rule will keep systems in line while allowing us to combat the Thargoid threat. Free Rochester!
