The '''Dark Wheel''' is a | The '''Dark Wheel''' is a secretive organization comprised of exceptional adventurers, explorers, investigators, and treasure-hunters that is said to have existed since the advent of interstellar space travel. Among their many arcane goals, they are thought to be primarily dedicated to finding [[Raxxla]]. A minor faction that calls itself "The Dark Wheel" is known to operate out of the [[Shinrarta Dezhra]] system, which is also the headquarters of the [[Pilots Federation]], but it is unlikely to have a legitimate connection to the Dark Wheel of legend, and most likely a reconstruction or an opportunistic imitator, since it was founded by a squadron of independent pilots.<ref name="KB-TDW">''[[Elite Dangerous]]'' [[Knowledge Base]] > The Dark Wheel</ref> | ||

This planet is believed to be the source of [[Soontill Relics]], which are exclusively sold at Cheranovsky City in Ngurii. At the time of Soontill's discovery, the Dark Wheel was headed by the pilot Alex Ryder.
