[[File:Elite-Dangerous-Codex-Options.png|300px|thumb|Codex options]]The '''Codex''' is a new way to track your findings and progress in the Elite Dangerous [[galaxy]], as well as keep up to date with the lore and learn about the latest news.<ref name=":0" />

It shows personal stats, session logs, discoveries in both a collaborative and individual way and hint at potential discoveries in the galaxy. It also provides encyclopedia-style information about topics.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/451045-Beyond-Chapter-Four-Beta-Announcement Beyond - Chapter Four - Beta Announcement]
</ref>

== Commander ==
[[File:Elite-Dangerous-Codex-Commander-Stats.png|thumb|250px|Commander stats]]

The Commander page is where you can find information about your in-game statistics, a session log of your activity and an archive of audio and text logs.<ref name=":0">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/451420-Content-Recap-Beyond-Chapter-Four-Livestream-Exploration-and-the-Codex Content Recap: Beyond - Chapter Four Livestream - Exploration and the Codex]
</ref>
* '''Home Page''' - In the home page of the Commander section, you'll find a full length picture of your Holo-me avatar, your current Elite ranks and their progress and an overview of other quick reference Commander stats.
* '''Session Log''' - The session log tracks certain in-game activities based on the already existing player journal.
* '''Statistics''' - The statistics page is a neater, clearer and more concise way of displaying information that was previously found in the right-hand panel of your cockpit.
* '''Archive''' - The archive is your very own library, a collection curated by your discoveries. Any audio and text log you uncover across the galaxy (such as those found from abandoned settlements, Generation ships and other points of interest) will be added here. Audio logs in the archive can also be added to your playlist for easy listening while out exploring in the black!

== Discoveries ==
[[File:Elite-Dangerous-Codex.png|250px|thumb|Codex]]Within the Discoveries section, the galaxy has been broken down into 42 regions. Each [[Galactic Regions|galactic region]] has information detailing the stellar bodies, geological/biological entities and civilisation contained within them.<ref name=":0" />

Within each system, there are a variety things for you to discover, such as [[stars]], terrestrials, gas giants, [[species]] and more.
* In each of these will be a list of types which you can select to view more information.
* As you find new types within that system they will be added to The Codex.
* There is also additional information such as the largest, smallest or the coldest stellar body found (for example).

The Codex also has '''‘Rumoured’, ‘Reported’ and ‘Discovered’''' states.
* '''Rumoured''' - If an item is listed as rumoured that means there is a possibility of finding it within that region.

* The Codex has been filled with ‘rumoured’ discoveries in each region to give you an initial breadcrumb trail to follow.

* '''Reported''' - When a Commander finds the rumoured item in question, it then shows up as ‘reported’ in the Codex, and updates everyone’s Codex . If you then find it, and scan it, that will then become ‘'''Discovered'''’ in your codex.
* If you’re hoping to be an intrepid explorer and find things that haven't been discovered, you can - and set off that cycle of Rumoured, Reported, Discovered!

The 42 regions are huge, and there is a lot to be uncovered, the initial ‘rumoured’ items are just the very beginning in getting you exploring out in to the black.

While you’re out there making incredible discoveries and earning credits you’ll be inspiring other explorers to follow in your wake!

== Knowledge Base ==
The [[Knowledge Base]] is your hub for brushing up on ''Elite Dangerous'' lore.<ref name=":0" />
* It contains articles detailing the history of the Superpowers, key figures and characters, organisations and other key powers within the galaxy.
* It is also the place for information about the Thargoids and other articles of historic importance.
* These articles are accompanied with vocal narration that can also be added to your playlist.

== Pilot's Handbook ==
The [[Pilot's Handbook]] is a detailed guide to the available activities in ''Elite Dangerous''. It explains where to find certain activities and roles, how to prepare and outfit ships for them, and how to participate in them.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/april-update-coming-23-april-2019.508239/ Frontier Forums: April Update - Coming 23 April 2019]</ref>

== Lore ==
11 DEC 3304
* A new networked database system named the Codex has been released to the galactic community.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c0fadbfa9a9182e01271bb2 Introducing the Codex - 11 DEC 3304]

''The Codex is a joint initiative from the Pilots Federation and Universal Cartographics, which issued the following joint statement:''

''“We are pleased to announce that the Codex has been automatically uploaded to the onboard systems of all vessels registered with the Pilots Federation.”''

''“The Commander section of the Codex collates all ship data, including the pilot’s personal achievements, while the Knowledge Base contains information on the galaxy’s most prominent organisations and individuals.”''

''“The Discoveries section is designed to support deep-space exploration. As well as cataloguing stellar bodies and other phenomena, it also logs confirmed and unconfirmed findings from fellow explorers.”''

''“We hope the Codex will prove valuable to all Commanders, and we look forward to it being updated with their findings.”''

{{Quote|This is Lakon Spaceways' new combat trader-class vessel, designed for hostile-environment deliveries and light support duties. It is based on the Type-6 frame but with extra weapon hardpoints. It has a reduced cargo capacity to support a higher class of powerplant, and can even accommodate a fighter bay. Its durability is improved by better defence capabilities for armour and shields. Its similar silhouette to the Type 6 makes it a suitable vessel for commerce raiding or convoy protection.|In-game description}}
The '''Keelback''' is a freighter ship with enhanced combat capabilities based on a Type-6 Transporter chassis. It debuted in the 1.5 "Ships" update on December 2015. It was first mentioned in a list from the ''Answers from the Devs'' where it said it is an upcoming ship.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=191898&page=3&p=2952777#post2952777 Answers from the Devs 15/10/15]</ref>

As this had never been heard of, people speculated that it was an alternative name to the [[Panther Clipper]]. However, on a stream David Braben revealed that it is a ship similar to the Lakon [[Type-6 Transporter]], but with better weapon hardpoints.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdP1DmRYco8&t=32m22s Elite Dangerous - On the Horizon Episode 4 - Q&A with David Braben 6PM GMT - 04/11/2015 ]</ref> It also has a better power plant at the cost of fewer internal compartments.

The ship has firepower similar to most of small combat ships, boasting two small and two medium hardpoints. Two medium hardpoints are located on top of the ship, very close to the cockpit, and two small hardpoints are located on the bottom of the ship a bit further back than the medium hardpoints. One of three utility mounts is located on the nose of the ship directly above the frontal landing gear piece, and two more on top and at the back.

This ship is capable of mounting a [[Fighter_Hangar|fighter hangar]].

It also has rotating engine pods on each side that seem to help with manoeuvering.

==Purchase Locations==
It can usually be purchased at Large population (5m +) and greater systems.

{{Quote|Only recently discovered, these mysterious artefacts are believed to be probes, but of unknown origin. Their physical appearance makes them likely to be related to the [[Unknown Artefact|unknown artefacts]] discovered in 3301. Such mystery only serves to make these objects more widely sought after by wealthy individuals and organisations alike, no matter that their unidentified status automatically prohibits them from being sold on any legal market.|In-game Description}}

'''Thargoid Probes''', formerly known as '''Unknown Probes''', are devices of unknown purpose created by the [[Thargoids]]. They appear to point to Merope 5 C, the planet where [[Alien Structure|"Barnacles"]] were first found. [[Discovery Scanner|Scanning]] an Unknown Probe will cause it to emit an EMP wave and burst of noise.

On June 26, 3303, it was discovered that Thargoid Probes could be used to open doors in [[Thargoid Surface Site]]s, linking the objects to the [[Thargoids]] for the first time.

==Locations==
Thargoid Probes spawn in the vicinity of ammonia worlds, in signal sources identified as 'Non Human Signal Source (Threat 2)'. If none spawn after 20 minutes, high-wake out of the system and then return to the planet to seek out a new signal source.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCoSBvTBKug</ref>

They have been found in Convoy Dispersal Patterns (USS) with a Threat Level 4 in the following systems:

* Ross 47
* Wolf 294
* G 99-49

Convoys carrying the Thargoid Probe will usually have a Python called "Military Transport" and various strange comms chatter, as well as Anacondas of varying combat ranks. The convoy will most often also carry Meta Alloys and Reactive Armour.

They have also been found orbiting planets with ammonia atmospheres in the Pleiades Sector, at locations marked as Anomalous Signals with Threat Level 2. Systems with such planets include:

* Pleiades Sector KC-U b3-1 (Planet #8) (Found 9/20/2017)

==Timeline==
[[File:The Unknown Probe shut down my ships! And Talked...|thumb|330x330px]]
On July 18, 3302 CMDR Rizal made use of the Advanced Discovery Scanner in the presence of an Unknown Probe after targeting it. The Unknown Probe responded by turning on its lights, charging and releasing an EMP shockwave, which in turn briefly knocked out CMDR Rizal's HUD (supposedly to grab his attention). This was accompanied by an audio burst; the Unknown Probe finally "spoke".

The forums were quick to respond, decoding the audio from the video and suggesting various experiments.A map has been drawn from the audio, showing a globe and possible coordinates. With the Unknown Probe pointing at Merope 5 C, many CMDRs are now on the hunt to find the next clue.

On August 17, 3302, the first free-floating Unknown Probe was discovered orbiting Pleiades Sector KC-U b3-1 8, a planet with an ammonia atmosphere, at an "Anomalous Signal" point of interest. This was quickly followed by additional Unknown Probe finds above other ammonia worlds in nearby systems. Finding the Probes above ammonia worlds is significant because it potentially ties the Probes to the [[Thargoids]], who are believed to have originated on an ammonia world.

On August 20, 3302, the Unknown Probe transmission was [https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/57b6f11a9657baec6b4f8624 fully decoded] and revealed to contain planetary data such as radius, surface temperature, gravity and atmospheric composition. This transmission was directed at an unknown receiver on Merope 5C. In addition, the transmission included distance data that, when triangulated, was found to have been measured from the star system Col 70 Sector FY-N C21-3, which is within a group of permit-locked systems that players cannot currently access. It is believed Col 70 Sector FY-N C21-3 may be the origin point of all Unknown Probes, and contain the homeworld of their creators.

On September 26, 3303, Unknown Probes were officially reclassified as Thargoid Probes.

They have also been found orbiting planets with ammonia atmospheres in the Pleiades Sector, at locations marked as Anomalous Signals with Threat Level 2. Systems with such planets include:

* Pleiades Sector KC-U b3-1 (Planet #8) (Found 9/20/2017)

On July 18, 3302 CMDR Rizal made use of the Advanced Discovery Scanner in the presence of an Unknown Probe after targeting it. The Unknown Probe responded by turning on its lights, charging and releasing an EMP shockwave, which in turn briefly knocked out CMDR Rizal's HUD (supposedly to grab his attention). This was accompanied by an audio burst; the Unknown Probe finally "spoke".

The forums were quick to respond, decoding the audio from the video and suggesting various experiments.A map has been drawn from the audio, showing a globe and possible coordinates. With the Unknown Probe pointing at Merope 5 C, many CMDRs are now on the hunt to find the next clue.

On August 17, 3302, the first free-floating Unknown Probe was discovered orbiting Pleiades Sector KC-U b3-1 8, a planet with an ammonia atmosphere, at an "Anomalous Signal" point of interest. This was quickly followed by additional Unknown Probe finds above other ammonia worlds in nearby systems. Finding the Probes above ammonia worlds is significant because it potentially ties the Probes to the [[Thargoids]], who are believed to have originated on an ammonia world.

On August 20, 3302, the Unknown Probe transmission was [https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/57b6f11a9657baec6b4f8624 fully decoded] and revealed to contain planetary data such as radius, surface temperature, gravity and atmospheric composition. This transmission was directed at an unknown receiver on Merope 5C. In addition, the transmission included distance data that, when triangulated, was found to have been measured from the star system Col 70 Sector FY-N C21-3, which is within a group of permit-locked systems that players cannot currently access. It is believed Col 70 Sector FY-N C21-3 may be the origin point of all Unknown Probes, and contain the homeworld of their creators.

On September 26, 3303, Unknown Probes were officially reclassified as Thargoid Probes.
