The earliest documented reference to Raxxla dates to 2296 and originates from an entry in the personal journal of Art Tornqvist, a shipboard mechanic based out of [[Tau Ceti]]. The entry does not describe Raxxla or its possible whereabouts, but its existence is evidence that the Raxxla legend was already in the public consciousness by that time.<ref name="KB-R" />
SomeIn some versions of the Raxxla story, which were later shown to have a striking resemblance to the children's story "Princess Astrophel and the Spiralling Stars" and consequently became discredited, Raxxla holdsis said to hold an alien artefact called the Omphalos Rift, which acts as a gateway to parallel universes. SomeEven after it was discredited, staunch Raxxlasupporters seekersof the Omphalos Rift theory insist that the author of the children's story knewhad knowledge of Raxxla's exact location and had deliberately wovenwove clues into his book. OthersOther Raxxla seekers claim that Raxxla is nothingsomething moreelse thanentirely, with theories running the gamut from an unremarkable moon, or evento a state of cosmic enlightenment.<ref name="KB-R" />
A number of conspiracy theories assert that Raxxla has already been discovered by either a sinister cabal or a lone individual who has harnessed Raxxla's power to become the shadow ruler of all of humanity.<ref name="KB-R" />
Students and commentators of Raxxla lore have noted that the legend of Raxxla is unusually influential, often leading Raxxla- seekers to become singularly obsessed with it. This has been compared to the concept of "fernweh", which is experienced as an inexplicable longing for a place that an individual has never seen.<ref name="KB-R" />
