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 Tython. Located in the Coreward Worlds, Tython is the homeworld of the Jedi.
Tython 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 9 – The Force Wars
On the planet Tython, an order of philosophers and researchers arose, studying the mysterious energy that permeates all things–an energy known as the Force. However, disagreements developed within the order about how this energy should be used, leading to the Force Wars that eventually engulfed the planet. A faction comprised of those who followed a more peaceful path left Tython and established itself on the planet Ossus; later, this faction called itself the Jedi Order.
At their new enclave, the Jedi refined a code that would guide them. They became a monastic warrior people, devoting themselves to the pursuit of peace and knowledge, rather than personal power.
In the wake of the Force Wars, the Jedi also had a new understanding of the Force. They saw that the Force, while naturally light, could be used for corrupt ends. Those who did not respect its power risked falling to the dark side.

Galactic History 10 – The Tion Cluster
As the Core Worlds began to expand, another power in the Core was rising. The Tion Cluster, inhabited by the descendants of ancient sleeper ship crews, had developed a new hyperspace beacon technology based on fragments left by the Infinite Empire–far superior than the hyperspace cannons previously in use.
The Tion Cluster was gradually conquered by an arrogant and powerful pirate prince, known to history as the despot Xim. Using the new hyperspace technology, he despoiled world after world, taking slaves and ruthlessly expanding his territory. His rule of the Tion Cluster lasted for thirty years and saw the conquest of hundreds of thousands of planets.
Xim might have continued his rule unchallenged even longer, but he chose to expand his empire into a new area of space, one already inhabited by the powerful Hutt Empire.
Tython Blue Matrix Shard Datacron Location
Tython Blue Matrix Shard Datacron LocationMatrix 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 11 Codex Entry.
The Blue Matrix Shard Datacron is located deep in The Forge Remnants. The closest starting point is the Elarian Trail Quick Travel Point.
When you leave the Elarian Trail, you need to enter the cave that joins Tython to The Forge Remnants. You can find it by following the South road from the easy of the Elarian Trail base.
Once you enter the cave, follow the road straight from the North until you reach the South exit.
The Forge Remnants is a huge area, the best path to take to the Datacron involves going up the right-side staircase when you exit the Cave.
When you reach the top of the staircase, follow the road and look for a broken part of the stone walls on the right (west) side of the Forge Remnants area. Walk through the broken part of the wall.
Follow the cracked stone floor inside the Broken Wall area and go behind the large rock mountain to find a grassy path. Follow the grassy path up a hill until you reach a small stone Temple.
Jump down from the Stone Temple and turn right, you should see several Flesh Raiders in a grassy field standing nearby, the Datacron can be found by following a small stone path along the edge of the Stone Wall.
Successfully collecting the Matrix Datacron will give you 1 Blue Matrix Shard in the Mission Items Tab of your Inventory, as well as the Codex Entry:
Galactic History 11 – The Tionese Face the Hutt Empire
Seeking to expand his territory, the ancient Tionese despot Xim began exploring the Si’klaata Cluster–and for the first time, encountered a force that could challenge him. This region belonged to the Hutt Empire. Although young, the Hutt Empire had already grown immensely powerful through its criminal enterprises, helped by the long lifespan of the Hutts.
The Hutts correctly assessed the threat Xim presented and poured resources into fighting him near the planet Vontor. Despite their strength, the Hutts were not certain of victory until they discovered the Si’klaata Cluster was home to several other powerful species, including the Nikto, Klatooinians and Vodrans. In a typical gambit, the Hutts managed to persuade these three species to sign the Treaty of Vontor, which bound them to the Hutts in perpetual slavery.
With these additional forces, the Hutts overwhelmed Xim at the third Battle of Vontor. Xim died a Hutt prisoner, leaving his vast holdings and territory free for the taking.
