As the legend goes, on Raxxla there is an alien construct that's a gateway to other universes, and all that's in those universes in the way of bounty, and treasures, and aliens, and life. Legend also says that long ago, a corps of [[The Dark Wheel]] discovered its location and lives there, exploiting the gateways for all the wealth and riches the other universes could provide. This made them powerful and twisted.<ref name=":0">http://www.iancgbell.clara.net/elite/dkwheel.htm#A56</ref><ref>http://www.abandonia.com/files/extras/29369_the%20Dark%20Wheel.pdf</ref> | As the legend goes, on Raxxla there is an alien construct that's a gateway to other universes, and all that's in those universes in the way of bounty, and treasures, and aliens, and life.

According to Rafe Zette, a trader of old, there are people on Raxxla already. They've long suspected that a corps of elites live on Raxxla who exploit the gateway. They're powerful and twisted men who hire assassins to kill people who threaten their dominance.<ref name=":0" /> | According to Rafe Zette, a trader of old, there are people on Raxxla already.
