While (mostly) aimlessly flying around the “old worlds” and origin systems, I recently happened upon a few “Unregistered Comms Beacons”.
The first one is documented here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Spurred on by this discovery, which was in Lave – the original system where Elite started, I set the course for several other known “origin systems”. I visited Sol, which has 2 Unregistered Comms Beacons. Achenar, the main system for the Galactic Empire, has 1 beacon orbiting Capitol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a whim, I told myself there was a pattern in how I saw these Unregistered Comms Beacons. The way I read it, they seemed to be located near “main” systems. And remembering when I myself first graduated as a fresh pilot, we were located at LHS 3447.
And one of the first trips we took, all of us, was to Kremainn system. I actually made my first million credits there in bounty hunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it happened, nothing like the beacons could be found neither at LHS 3447 or Kremainn.
So, I opened the galaxy map and scanned what was nearby. One system stood. Eravate.
Perhaps because of my initial history with Elite: Dangerous. Perhaps I have read something about Eravate before. I am not sure. But I went there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And sure enough, there was a beacon there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And after waiting a long while; it sparked into life and started transmitting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, I am happy to have recorded these transmissions and transcribed them to these pages – but I can not hope to guess what they mean. Not yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
