Intergalactic Summit

Greetings fellow pilots,

Those of you who are familiar with my work know that I have long had an interest in establishing the location of Anoikis compared to the New Eden cluster. Despite inconclusive results in the first iteration of Project Compass, I resumed efforts when a second research methodology came to light. Despite CONCORD's sudden intervention to shut down the second iteration of Project Compass, I have kept my eye out for new research methodologies that could help further my quest.

It recently came to light that Aura, our friendly in-ship AI, has recently been attained the ability to plot a ship's given route between stellar systems, and that these plots persist into Anoikis. With this in mind and using well-known trigonometric principles, I was able to derive an upper-bound for the distance between Anoikis system J144956 and the edge of the New Eden cluster as 1,377 light-years. Because this method is less precise, as it relies solely on visible measurements rather than any mechanical precision, I hesitate to bring my full Project Compass resources to bear on this particular project, but the methodology was simplistic enough for a case study, and I believe it has considerable merit despite its limited nature, especially given how closely the data matches with the data obtained in the second iteration of Project Compass.

For those interested, the full research methodology and data are available in my project report, available here. I welcome any questions, comments, and insights that the capsuleer and research communities have.

Thank you for your time.

Well done Mark!

I was hoping Anoikis would be further away. ALOT further away.

I think you missed the point and the joke Ms Priano.

Very informative.

You have my thanks as a reader and my respect as a researcher.

Citations, please, Ms. Blackwind?

Edit: As Ms. Blackwind has removed her original comment, please consider the question moot.

Not just that, but the OP was indeed one of the leads on Project Compass 2.0.

I agree that this raises quite a few questions, especially given CONCORD's previous actions regarding my research. I eagerly await any comment from the Aura developers or CONCORD on the subject.

EDIT: Additionally, I'd like to thank everyone for the positive feedback I have received so far!

It was chosen randomly (as randomly as the wormhole network gets, in any case). I had established my calibration in Auvergne, and one of the wormholes available when I was done was to J144956. As I discuss in the paper, cursory examinations of other Anoikis systems revealed the 77S8-E to 46DP-O jump to be roughly the same size and in roughly the same position.

For those who may be curious, I have continued my reconnaissance using the trick I identified in my report. Although by no means systematic, I have observed the 77S8-E to 46DP-0 jump line from every wormhole system I've entered since publishing my report. More intriguingly, as of tonight, I can confirm that the jump line is visible from Thera as well. A quick repeat of the Compass 2.5 methodology yields an almost identical result as my analysis into J144956, which suggests the two are very close in space.

At this point, the only class of systems I have not yet encountered are non-Thera shattered systems, but I would be surprised if they yield a separate result. I intend to continue my investigations as long as I can.
