They just jumped and off they went. They either scooped and gone."''<ref name=":1">CMDR Ascorbius - [https://m.twitch.tv/clip/SnappyScaryMousePupper Ascorbius confirms MB speaking about 'Raxxla has been visited at least once' at Lave-con Q&A] - video clip - Twitch - July 2020</ref> Ascorbius explained: ''"He didn't say anything else, but the system where Raxxla is has been visited. So it's not in the 99.9% of the rest of the galaxy. We have been there. So whether you trust my word or not that's a thing, but I was there when he said it at Lavecon and it was in a Q&A. So it's not in a locked system no, but we just don't know how to find it or what even it is."''<ref name=":1" />

*In November 2018, author Drew Wagar said, ''"My own personal theory is that it can't be too far from Sol as it was reachable long ago by more primitive ships. Whether this proves true... I guess we'll find out."''<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/9xx2di/with_the_q4_exploration_content_about_to_drop/ reddit: With the Q4 Exploration content about to drop... lore questions?]</ref>

*The alleged name of the artefact on Raxxla, the Omphalos Rift, is taken from Ancient Greek culture. In Ancient Greek, "[[wikipedia:Omphalos|omphalos]]" means "navel", or the center of a thing, and the Ancient Greeks believed that the sanctuary of [[wikipedia:Delphi|Delphi]] was the center of the world. Intriguingly, when the [[Knowledge Base]] that contained the first mention of the Omphalos Rift was added to ''Elite Dangerous'' with update 3.3, the system Pleiades Sector IR-W d1-55, which was the headquarters of the anti-[[Thargoid]] organization [[Aegis]], was also renamed [[Delphi]].
