Quick Travel / Taxi

Republic [HEROIC 2+] Invisible Foes shuttle is closer.

Run to the Starship Graveyard

Run very far to the large downed ship in the Starship Graveyard, and head to the southern most path and entrance in to the Star of Coruscant, the giant crashed ship.

Go inside and take the elevator

Walk all the way inside the building and at the end there will be a slow-moving elevator to the second level. Take the elevator up, and then you will see the datacron in the distance and see a bunch of slow moving shipping crates hanging from the ceiling. You will need to jump onto these shipping crates to get to the datacron.

(Alternative Route) – Jump onto the crate at the back of the room from the walkway

This datacron is supposed to be gotten by doing a multi-step process involving jumping on a bunch of moving shipping crates. However, there is a trick you can do to bypass two of the three steps to this puzzle and save a lot of time and patience.

Go to the opposite side of the room from the elevator, and look for a shipping crate that is slowly moving up and down. Once it is at the lowest point and has stopped fully, you can take a running jump off of the walkway, jumping over the railing, and aim to land on the little indent or pipe on the side of the shipping crate. If you land correctly, the game will glitch you on top of the moving shipping crate, and then you can carefully jump off the shipping crate once it reaches the highest point it gets to and has come to a full stop.

This is not the route that you are supposed to take, and its taking advantage in a glitch in the moving terrain, but I figured I’d include it as the normal path can be quite tough.

(Traditional Route) – Jump on the Load Lifter

To solve the puzzle the traditional way, you’ll need to start at a different point.

To get high enough to jump on the first shipping crate, look for a farm tractor load lifter. You can jump up it to jump up onto some shipping crates, and up some small crates until you can eventually jump on a ledge that goes around the wall and carefully walk around the ledge, until you jump onto a shipping crate that will line up well with the first moving shipping crate.

Jump onto the first moving crate

Wait for the first moving crate on the corner of the shipping crate it will stop near. Wait until it comes to a complete stop. Then you can easily jump onto it. Once you are on the moving crate, just wait patiently as it moves across the room, and once it comes a complete stop, jump off it onto a nearby shipping crate on the ground.

Jump down

Jump onto the second moving crate

Wait until the next moving crate gets close, and once it comes to a complete stop, jump onto it.

Jump onto the third moving crate

From the second moving crate, you will jump onto the third moving crate, which is moving up and down in front of the datacron. You will want to jump onto the third moving crate once it has stopped at its lowest point and you are close to it. It’s the most difficult jump in this datacron, so feel free to not jump the first time you get close so you can get a feel for it. Once you are on the third moving crate, you can wait until it reaches its highest point, and then jump off it onto the ledge – the right-hand corner of the crate will be an easier and closer jump to the datacron.
