The Entrance to The Rift

By this point, the stars are starting to thin out. Route plotting starts to get harder. 

Look on screen how many stars are in front of you, and how many are behind you.

With 35LY jump range maximum and a route plotter that only does 1,000LY at best, heading there was tough in 3302!

The Reorte-Riedquat line and the constellations clues seem to point to the Heart and Soul nebulas though.

Waypoint 8/16: Eafots BP-I d9-35 (4889.60LY, ~72 jumps)

This is1 the entrance to the Formidine Rift, there is a tourist beacon here, Children of Raxxla Staging Post. Salomé was the leader of a player faction called the Children of Raxxla (CoR).

There are two bases nearby if you want a look in the nebulas and/or to repair/rearm/refuel:

  • Heart Sector IR-V b2-0 – Farsight Expedition Base
    • There’s a touching tourist beacon here for CMDR Skelturoth’s dog who passed away
  • Soul Sector EL-Y d7 – Base Camp2

At this point, the players have little else to go on, expect to start jumping from system to system, randomly looking for whatever is out here.

                 

Jumped to 1,000 different systems? No. Fine! 🙂 Right On, Commander…

                 

Drew’s Footnotes

  1. The Children of Raxxla approached me after the publication of Reclamation and asked if she could be their leader in the lore. I had no objection as (at the time) Premonition wasn’t on the cards. This made things a bit tricky as I had to balance revealing things to the CoR that Salomé would know… but not giving them favourable information over other players at the time. ↩︎
  2. This is effectively the “entrance” to the Formidine Rift. ↩︎
