This guide is created for VULKK.com by Kal from TodayinTOR.
Datacrons are hidden collectible items in SWTOR that provide a permanent stat boost to all of your characters within your Legacy on a server.
There are dozens of Datacrons spread across both the Republic and Empire factions in SWTOR. Each Datacron you collect permanently boosts the stats of every character you have, including new characters. Every Datacron also unlocks a Codex Entry which unlocks Lore for you to read.
This guide goes over all the Datacrons that you can find on the planet Coruscant. Located in the Coreward Worlds, Coruscant is the capital of the Republic.
Coruscant is only accessible to the Republic faction. Empire players will not have access to these Datacrons. Each walkthrough segment of the guide always begins with the recommended starting point on the map and ends with the location of the Datacron itself and the Data Codex Entry.

Galactic History 4 – King Adas
The ancient Sith on Korriban–not an order of Force users, but a distinct species native to the planet–were distinctive for their yellow eyes and blood-red skin. But the warrior Adas was unlike his brothers; his skin was jet-black and he towered over his fellow Sith. Through violence and cunning, he fought his way to become ruler of the Sith and united their nations through a bloody war. He later took the title “Sith’ari,” meaning “overlord.”
King Adas’s ascension may have been helped by an untrained Force sensitivity. Certainly Adas was long-lived; his reign lasted three hundred years, and only came to an end when the Infinite Empire launched an assault on Korriban. The title Sith’ari remains a key tenet of Sith lore, eventually coming to refer to a perfect being in Sith philosophy.

Galactic History 5 – Rise of the Infinite Empire
The “Infinite Empire” was the name the Rakata people gave to their magnificent but ultimately flawed civilization–one that eventually encompassed more than five hundred known worlds. Their rise was fueled by their impressive technology, powered by what would later be called the Force. Using it, the Rakata developed the first known hyperdrives.
Slowly, the Rakata became corrupted by their power. They began enslaving entire species, including the peoples of Coruscant. The Rakata also attacked Korriban, ruled by the great King Adas. Although their attack failed to enslave the pureblooded Sith species, King Adas was killed. Without his leadership, Korriban was plunged into civil war.
The Rakata’s slaves were put to work building monuments to the Infinite Empire’s glory. Among the Infinite Empire’s achievements was the Star Forge, a space station capable of producing endless droids and starships. However, the Star Forge was fueled by the dark side of the Force. Using it only hastened the Rakata’s fall.
Coruscant Yellow Matrix Shard Datacron Location
Matrix Shards are mission items that you can use to create a Relic. The Shards are earned Per-Character. This means that even though the Datacron is considered collected for your entire Legacy if you want to get the Matrix Shard on a different character you will have to find the Datacron again on that character. This Datacron unlocks the Galactic History 6 Codex Entry.
The Yellow Matrix Shard Datacron is located deep in The Works. Once you enter the works, follow the path given on the map below to find the starting point.
Once you have reached the starting point. Climb up the boxes and jump onto the large pipe, walk all the way to the top.
Once you make it to the top, jump across the small gap onto the next pipe and follow it all the way.
Once you have gone all the way, the pipe will suddenly drop down. Jump off onto the pipe below.
Follow the large pipe as it turns a corner, you will see a smaller pipe to your left that comes from underneath and goes to the other side of the wall. Jump across to that pipe and follow it all the way.
The pipe will turn around a corner before going down. Once you reach the end you have to jump across to the next pipe then walk along it as it goes up into the air.
Once you reach the top, jump over to the next pipe and follow it all the way. You may notice that your map changing between The Works and Coruscant, this is normal.
Once you have landed on the new pipe, walk all the way to the top again and jump onto the large platform. There is another final pipe on the other side you need to cross.
Once you have made it across the final pipe, the Yellow Matrix Shard Datacron is all yours.
Successfully collecting the Matrix Datacron will give you 1 Yellow Matrix Shard in the Mission Items Tab of your Inventory, as well as the Codex Entry:
Galactic History 6 – The Infinite Empire Collapses
The Rakata species had created a glorious Infinite Empire with their Force-fueled machines, but cracks were beginning to show. The cruelty of the Rakata to their slaves and occupied worlds grew more pronounced. If a planet’s population rebelled, that entire world would be burned to glass.
Despite this, more slave rebellions began to rise across the galaxy, forcing the Rakata to divide their forces to deal with them. A plague, either created by the rebelling slaves or by Rakata dissidents, began to decimate the Rakata population. The Rakata realized that, possibly due to the plague, they were losing their connection to the Force; without it, they were cut off from their technology.
The fall of the Infinite Empire, once it began, was swift. The slaves overwhelmed their Rakata overseers, who fled into the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. The Rakata degenerated into a tribal culture and even resorted to cannibalism. The Infinite Empire was gone; only its technology was left behind.

Successfully collecting the Datacron will give you +2 Mastery to all characters and the following Codex Entry:
Galactic History 7 – The First Spaceflights
Free of the Infinite Empire’s enslavement, the humans of Coruscant began investigating the technology their Rakata masters had left. Although they couldn’t use the Force-powered machines, the humans learned enough to make tentative forays into space, using slower-than-light vessels manned by crews kept in suspended animation for decades at a time.
Slowly, humans began to colonize new worlds: Alsakan, Metellos, Alderaan. The first explorers to Alderaan discovered the remains of strange insect nests, later known to be built by the Killiks.
The pureblooded Sith species on Korriban, having survived both the Infinite Empire’s onslaught and a bloody civil war after the death of their king, also became intrigued by the machines the Rakata left behind. Suddenly a spacefaring civilization, the Sith species left Korriban and eventually established a new capital on the planet Ziost.

Successfully collecting the Datacron will give you +2 Presence to all characters and the following Codex Entry:
Galactic History 8 – Hyperspace Cannons
Early spaceflights were conducted with sleeper ships, their crews preserved via suspended animation over the long journeys to other worlds. But these journeys were incredibly slow. Remembering the efficient hyperdrive technology of the Infinite Empire, the most brilliant scientists of the galaxy began to study what remained of those machines, despite the claims of Tiran, the Drall scientist who centuries before said that nothing could travel faster than the speed of light.
Eventually, this led to the development of a hyperspace “cannon.” These cannons allowed a ship to be propelled into hyperspace, though a second cannon was required for a ship to return to its origin point.
The Core Worlds quickly established a hyperspace cannon network. The children of Coruscant soon encountered the Duros civilization, whose people became some of the earliest–and most daring–hyperspace explorers. The true colonization of the galaxy had begun.
