The Anath connection

Glitter's data includes the system of Anath. It sounded familiar to me and I have been mulling over that for the last few days, trying to remember where I heard about it before. 

Then it struck me, as I was talking to Franco and the Directrix. This system was raided years ago by the Blood Raiders in a rather focused attack where the father of our Directrix, professor Tertius Bathana, was killed!

He was an archaeologist, pursuing the trail of the most precious Amarrian relics stolen by the Sani Sabik who became the Takmahl. When I started my investigations, it seemed odd to me that he retired to this remote place, rather than to Gamis or the Araz constellation. But now, the pieces of the puzzle start to fit: after the fall of the Takmahl empire, our relics were part of the loot that the ancestors of the Blood Raiders tried to haul from Araz to their Delve strongholds. Prof. Bathana had not retired, but was pursuing a lead! And I'll wager that his death was more than just an unlucky accident.
