SWTOR Belsavis Green Matrix Shard Location Guide

The Green Matrix Shards are remnant relics of the Infinite Empire and no longer useful. Once they were used to create your first relics at the game's launch. Now it's simply part of the Datacron Master Achievement along with codex: Galactic History 71: The Muur Talisman. There are 5 Datacrons in total located on the planet of Belsavis.

Datacrons are collectables scattered around the galaxy in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Each Datacron contributes towards your Legacy's passive stats permanently. Furthermore, they also provide interesting Lore and Codex Entries about the Old Republic era.

The Green Matrix Shard is located in the Cave-Under-Tree, where you will also find the most dangerous prisoners in the Imperial Planet Arc. You have to collect 4 Rakata Energy Cubes to access this Datacron, which you can find in the Tomb area. There are 8 possible spawn locations for these cubes, maybe more. Respawn time is only 1-2 min, but it is random at one of the 8 locations. If you do this as a group only one member of the group needs to have the Energy Cubes and they are tradeable.

Once you have collected 4 cubes, head for the Cave underneath the massive tree at coordinates: -542, -2172.

Take the lift down and go straight past all the Esh-ka.

At the centre of the atrium you will find a Rakata machine with 4 Terminals and a Control Panel.

Interact with all 4 terminals and insert the Energy Cubes, then activate the controls by pressing "Run Shard Sequence".

The machine will activate the Datacron and everyone in the area can now interact with it.

This will grant you a Green Matrix Shard, which is no longer useful, but is simply part of the Legacy achievement towards Datacron Master, along with the codex: Galactic History 71: The Muur Talisman.

This datacron holds unheard of power and knowledge collected by an ancient race. You access its power and discover writings which are clearly only one small piece of a massive galactic history:

As the Mandalorian Wars raged, Zayne Carrick escaped the Jedi Covenant, falsely accused of murdering his fellow Padawans. While hiding on Taris, Carrick encountered Celeste Morne, one of the Covenant's shadow operatives. Morne was searching for the Muur Talisman, a Sith artifact that could turn humans into monstrous rakghouls.

Morne attempted to arrest Carrick but was interrupted by a Mandalorian raid. Realizing the Mandalorians had found the Muur Talisman, Morne and Carrick stowed away on the Mandalorians' ship to Jebble. The dark talisman possessed Morne, and she began using it to turn the Mandalorians into rakghouls.

Horrified, Carrick finally persuaded Morne to see reason. She agreed to be sealed away in an oubliette to protect the galaxy from the talisman's corruptive power. The oubliette was lost when the Mandalorians razed Jebble; however, Carrick spoke of the Muur Talisman--and rakghouls--to another Jedi, Alek... later known as Darth Malak.
