A corps of Elite-ranked pilots was suspected to have found Raxxla and exploited the gateway for their own selfish purposes, and hired assassins to eliminate any independent pilots and members of the Dark Wheel who tried to uncover Raxxla.<ref name="TDW">[http://www.iancgbell.clara.net/elite/dkwheel.htm ''The Dark Wheel'', Robert Holdstock]</ref> | *Raxxla was first featured in the 1980 book ''The Alien World: A Complete Illustrated Guide'' written by Steven Eisler, under the pen name of Robert Holdstock.<ref>https://www.amazon.com/Alien-World-Complete-Illustrated-Guide/dp/0517305607</ref> Holdstock published a novella called ''[[Elite: The Dark Wheel]]'', which came packaged with the original [[Elite]] game, in 1984.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Wheel#Packaging_and_marketing</ref> In that novella, which is outside the canon of ''[[Elite Dangerous]]'', Raxxla was described as a mythical planet which held an alien construct that served as a gateway to other universes.
