Thargoids
Permit required (especially for Thargoids). Check out Voyager, a kind of E.D. easter egg. Check out the Federation Battlecruiser near Earth (unless the Thargoids have already got to it) but don’t get too close, there is also one near Mars but apparently it is the president's personal ship and if you get too close they open fire. I seem to remember that this system has inter-system trade potential, buying metals at the extraction stations and selling them at the service ones. I think Jupiter has some RESs for bounty hunting within a ring that is unusually sparse of ‘roids. I went here to get selfies in front of all the famous planets and moons.

Lose a few hours of your real life trekking to Hutton orbital (about 1 and a half hours) to pick up some mugs. And whilst you’re there you can drop one off, you-yourself, what else could you be if you did this stupendous run? Still it has gotta be done for some fun.

137.5  Epsilon Indi  - H - Canyon Runners Do some canyon running here. Mitterand hollow as shown here by 777Driver. Mitterand is a small moon orbiting the planet New Africa.

It is claimed that this abandoned settlement belonged to the unfortunate crew of a generation ship that missed its intended target but that is not so clear from the logs. Engineering materials are known to spawn here. Check out CMDR Scott's Page for more details.

Materials Hunters
Bells World, at lat./longt. -10.9630, 170.1096 Wreckage of something, perhaps an Annaconda?. Fill up on Tellurium, Ruthenium, Antimony and Tungsten here. There are 3 cargo racks close to the wreckage, destroy them and they will release these rare materials. Log out and log in and start all over again until you have had your fill. Head for -10.9630, 170.1096. Check out the link here. Scan the wreckage before you leave and you will get a marker on the map for the next time you need to return. Supposedly, there are also Thargoid sensors here.
154.5  LAWD 26  - L - Explorers A Wolf Rayet star within the bubble. I remember spending ages looking for Stone's treasure here, thanks Frontier, I should hand myself in at Hutton orbital for "mug" recycling.

There are some satellites and a navigation beacon here as well although they do not seem to yield anything when scanned. There are quite a few ships including some security ships hanging around the installation and pirates appear every now and again. Feels like a LO-RES so beginners could get some bounties here.

173.9  4 Beta Trianguli  Explorers An uninhabited system within the bubble, has 5 terraformable planets on one star, a system scan here netted me 277000CR and that was before the exploration buff, now each of the terraformables would yield more than that alone..
174.0  Aku  - L - Hi-g-Landers High g planetary landing challenge. Planet 1 has a gravitational pull of 3.5g, thats 3.5 times that of earth. Try to land without splatting your spaceship. There is some kind of ground facility here (no docking facilities) called Sturgeon Works.

185.6  Vucub Huan  - L - Bounty Hunters In the Codorain area, ALL the factions were present in this system at one point so you could cash-in all your Empire, Alliance and Federation bounties in one go. I believe this is no longer the case but there are definitely Federation, Empire and Alliance factions in the local area so it should be possible to sell all your bounties by visiting this system and another nearby. Here EDDB lists the factions that are currently present in the system.

INRA 1B (lat: 11.41, lon: 177.06) Abandoned INRA base Mayes Chemical Plant. There were a few common (no rare ones) manufactured materials around for salvaging when I checked the location. However scanning the data beacon yielded an 'Abandoned Settlement Location Data Package' worth around 120,000 CR. See this image.

189.8  Col 285 Sector SU-E c12-23  Materials Hunters Planetary object 1 This system is located at the top of the bubble. A gem of a planet for material hunters, 9Ls from the main entry star. It has 3.1% Tin, also has 3.7% Cadmium. This system is just outside the bubble, about 10-15 Ly from several systems. For other good Tin sources try this EDDB link here. Modify the search for other Cadmium sources. Ruthenium is 2.9%, again one of the highest known percentages in and around the bubble. All in all this is a gem of a material hunter's planet. It is a Metal-Rich body so definitely worth a quick detailed scan.
190.6  Chujohimba  - H - Canyon Runners Do some canyon running here. Chujohimba B2 as mentioned here. Bit of a trek to get there though apparently. Also one of the cheapest places in the bubble to buy Imperial Slaves see Eddb.

An amazing uninhabited bubble system that has a neutron star and many metal rich planets/moons. Also has a pristine metallic ringed planet.
191.1  Orrere  - A - Wreckage
Materials Hunters
Planet 2B, at lat./longt. 43.8122, -173.9826 Wreckage of an Annaconda. Fill up on Tellurium, Ruthenium, Antimony and Tungsten here. There are 3 cargo racks close to the wreckage, destroy them and they will release these rare materials. Antimony does not drop very often, but be patient it does drop. Log out and log in and start all over again until you have had your fill. It is hard to get to since it is in a difficult spot to reach. Head for 43.8122, -173.9826. Managed to land my cutter at 43.8191, -173.9291 right in front of the wreckage. There is also some Palladium, Gold and Berylium down there but the main goal is the rare materials. However, if your a starter looking for some free cash, then go down and collect the Palladium, Gold and Beryllium just lying around. Check out the link here. Scan the Annaconda before you leave and you will get a marker on the map for the next time you need to return. Still working as of 19-12-2017.

193.2  Sanna  - M - Wreckage Caher at 55.35, -74.85 A wrecked Anaconda. Lying around the wreckage was a Thargoid Sensor, and a low yield cargo cannister that ejected rare materials when shot. There were also some invaluable salvage lying around when I visited. See this Sanna Anaconda Wreck Gallery. There is also a data point which when scanned and sold gave a tidy 175000 CR
193.4  Pomeche  - L - Base Jumping 2C ("Epic Mountain Range" tourist beacon) at 24.9590, 27.9263 Epic mountain on Pomeche 2C (Schimz), (Toberius) A great base jumping location with 0.07 G gravity and a landing which is good. For more info see video and this video Source(s):Alec Turner

197.5  Lave  - M - Asteroid Stations Warinus An asteroid station, 861 Ls from the entry star
Bounty Hunting
Rare traders
Asteroid Stations
The is not just about Lave but about the systems in and around the Lave area. Many of these systems in this area are pretty in themselves with lots of colourful ringed planets hence the good BH opportunities, however they are all long since depleted reserves so no good for miners. The main point is that this is a well known spot to pick up a bunch of rare trading items. Here is a link to some rare trading routes that include systems in the Lave area. There is allso an asteroid station in this system called Warinus.

This place is well suited for beginners. It features steep canyon walls, it isn't terrible high and the bottom of the canyon invites for exploring and racing. A special bonus to this location is, that there is the Coriolis Starport "Leonard Station" right next to the planet.video Source(s):Alec Turner

214.7  El Tio  - M - Materials Hunters Planetary object 3ea has 2.9% Arsenic. For other good Arsenic sources try this EDDB link here

The system name links through to Inara where details of the stations in the system and their facilities can be obtained and also trade opportunities etc. (when it is available).

Most of the resources systems here I have found myself but many I have found on the elite dangerous forums and have given the links and credit where necessary. For Ship docks, Megaships, Installations and Asteroid bases I mostly used the information supplied by Alec Turner and AlistairHope.
