We present part 1 of the 6th and final Data Release (DR6 or FDR) of the
Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE), a magnitude-limited (9<I<12) spectroscopic
survey of Galactic stars randomly selected in the southern hemisphere. The RAVE
medium-resolution spectra (R~7500) cover the Ca-triplet region (8410-8795A) and
span the complete time frame from the start of RAVE observations on 12 April
2003 to their completion on 4 April 2013. Wavelength-calibrated and
flux-normalized spectra for 518,387 observations of 451,783 unique stars are
presented. The final data release presented in this publication consists of
spectra, error spectra, spectral classification, derived radial velocities, and
cross matches with other relevant catalogs. The data can be accessed via the
RAVE Web site (this http URL) or the Vizier database.
