Datacrons are unique collectible items that you can find in less frequently traveled places on the planets located in swtor. The places Bioware hid the Datacrons are seldomly visited and are sometimes very difficult to get to. Datacrons serve a much greater purpose than just a simple Codex Entry. Upon clicking on a Datacron you will be granted a permanent bonus to one of your stats or be rewarded with a colored matrix shard. The matrix shards are used for constructing the highest quality item modifications.
Below is a list of all the datacrons available in the game with coordinates of how to reach them and the rewards they grant.
