The '''Codex''' is an upcoming feature that lets players log personal discoveries in both a collaborative and individual way. It provides encyclopedia-style information about topics. It will also hint at other possible discoveries.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/451045-Beyond-Chapter-Four-Beta-Announcement Beyond - Chapter Four - Beta Announcement]
The Commander page is where you can find information about your in-game statistics, a session log of your activity as well as an archive of audio and text logs.<ref name=":0">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/content-recap-beyond-chapter-four-livestream-exploration-and-the-codex.451420/ Frontier Forums: Content Recap: Beyond - Chapter Four Livestream - Exploration and the Codex]

* '''Home Page''' - In the home page of the Commander section, you'll find a full length picture of your [[Holo-Me|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 pre-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 that you uncover across the galaxy (such as from abandoned [[Settlement|settlements]], [[Generation Ship|Generation ships]] and other [[Points of Interest|Points of interest]]) will be added here. Audio logs in the archive can be added to your playlist for easy listening while exploring in space.
=== Time played ===
The codex shows the approximate time played. Note that Steam also counts the hours with the launcher open while not in-game. So if you forget to close the launcher it will inflate the total hours played.
== Discoveries ==
[[File:Elite-Dangerous-Codex.png|250px|thumb|Codex]]Within the Discoveries section, the galaxy has been divided 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 of things for you to discover, such as [[stars]], [[planets]], [[moons]], [[Gas Giant|gas giants]], [[species]] and more.
* In each of these is 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 additional information such as the largest, smallest or the coldest stellar body found.
Discovering your first Stellar Body type within a region with a [[Full Spectrum System Scanner|Level-two Scan]], your first biological [[Vista Genomics|Species]] (eg. Stratum <u>Tectonicas</u>) with the [[Short Range Composition Scanner|Composition Scanner]], or your first Xenological discovery with the Composition Scanner within a category will award you with a 50,000cr '''Codex Voucher.'''  Any following scans of a biological Species's '''color''' (eg. Stratum Tectonicas <u>Roseum</u>) or Xenological category will grant a 2,500cr Codex Voucher.
Despite the [[HUD]] displaying an immediate notification upon any discovery, and directing you to view your records entry, you '''<u>''must'' turn in your voucher to save your records.</u>''' Losing your Codex Vouchers via ship destruction means that you will ''not'' retain any credit for the discovery in the Codex. Because the Codex Vouchers often take time to appear in your [[HUD/Left|Transactions Panel]] due to server lag, forgetful [[Explorer|explorers]] may simply neglect to redeem their vouchers at any station's '''Administrative Contact.'''


It's coming with [[Elite Dangerous: Beyond]] in Q4, 2018.
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 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.
* The Codex is filled with ‘rumoured’ discoveries per region to give you an initial breadcrumb trail to follow.


== '''Commander''' ==
* '''Reported''' - When a Commander finds the rumoured item, it then shows up as ‘reported’ in the Codex, and updates everyone’s Codex . If you then find it, and scan it, that will become ‘'''Discovered'''’ in your codex.
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]
* You can be an intrepid explorer, find undiscovered anomalies, and set off the cycle of Rumoured, Reported, Discovered.

* '''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.
The 42 [[galactic regions]] are gigantic with a lot to be uncovered. The initial ‘rumoured’ items are just the very beginning in getting you to explore in space.
* '''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.
While you’re out there making incredible discoveries and earning [[credits]] you’ll inspire other explorers to follow in your wake!
* '''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!
 
== 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 [[:Category:Characters|characters]], [[:Category:Organizations|organisations]] and other key [[:Category:Power|Powers]] within the galaxy.
* It is also the place for information about the Thargoids and other articles of historic importance.

== Pilot's Handbook ==
The [[Pilot's Handbook]] is a detailed guide to the available activities in ''Elite Dangerous''.

== Lore ==
The Codex was introduced on 11 December 3304:


== '''Discoveries''' ==
''A new networked database system named the Codex has been released to the galactic community.''
Within Discoveries section, the galaxy has been broken down in to 42 regions. Each region has information detailing the stellar bodies, geological/biological entities and civilisation contained within them.<ref name=":0" />


Within each system, there are variety things for you to discover, such as stars, terrestrials and gas giants - and even more! 
''The Codex is a joint initiative from the Pilots Federation and Universal Cartographics, which issued the following joint statement:''
* 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.
''“We are pleased to announce that the Codex has been automatically uploaded to the onboard systems of all vessels registered with the Pilots Federation.”''
* '''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.
''“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.”''


* '''Reported''' - When a Commander finds the rumoured item in question, it then shows up as ‘reported’ in the Codex, and update everyone’s Codex . If you then find it, and scan it, that will then become ‘'''Discovered'''’ in your codex.
''“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.”''
* 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.
''“We hope the Codex will prove valuable to all Commanders, and we look forward to it being updated with their findings.”<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c0fadbfa9a9182e01271bb2 GalNet: Introducing the Codex]

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