Korriban

Faction: The Sith Empire

Number of Datacrons: 3 

Other Notes: Starting planet for Sith force-users

Green Datacron

Reward: Endurance +2, Galactic History 15: Mandalore

Coordinates: 153, 81

Directions:  This Datacron's pretty easy to locate if you keep your eyes peeled- it's on a cliff very near to the Korriban departure shuttle.  Go across a small platform near the shuttle, and it'll be at the foot of one of the ion-cannons.

Purple Datacron

Reward: Willpower +2, Galactic History 16: The Alsakan Conflicts

Coordinates: 530, 65

Directions: Here's another ‘gimme' Datacron. If you take a taxi from the academy, you'll probably see this one from the air. Just follow the path to the listed coordinates in the Korriban Wilds and you'll come across it soon enough. 

White Datacron

Reward: Red Matrix Shard, Galactic History 17: The Duinogwuin Contention

Coordinates: -55, 379

Directions:  Right before you enter the Tomb of Tulak Hord, you should find this one in the courtyard, surrounded by walls on three sides.  You'll find it if you're looking for it- and probably even if you aren't.

Hutta

Faction: The Sith Empire

Number of Datacrons: 3 

Other Notes: Starting planet for Bounty Hunters and Imperial Agents

White Datacron 1

Reward: Aim +2, Galactic History 01: The Architects

Coordinates: -95, 860

Directions: Directly south of the Evocii Work Camp in The Bog, there'll be a small hill overlooking Huttsbane. Climb up the pipe on the south side of the hill to get to the ledge that houses this Datacron. 

Yellow Datacron

Reward: Presence +2, Galactic History 02: Ancient Civilizations

Coordinates:  650, -108

Directions:  You'll find this Datacron hidden atop The Rustyards. To get to it, you need to move across a series of pipes that begin at 503, -20. Be careful while jumping across the pipes, as there are a few locations where it's quite easy to fall down into the water below. The Datacron sits on a raised island guarded by two Venomous Chemilizards. They're elites, so it might be worth waiting to tackle this one until you've got a friend who can watch your back.  

White Datacron 2

Reward: Blue Matrix Shard, Galactic History 03: The Battalions of Zhell

Coordinates: -9,319

Directions: Hands-down, this is the most difficult Datacron on the planet to acquire, since it's located within the Sewer Maintenance Tunnels, which are themselves populated by a number of elite mobs. Worse, the Datacron itself is guarded by an elite, named boss, "B3-4T Disposal Droid." If you're just starting out, bring friends. If you don't, you're going to find the droid disposing of your battered and broken remains in short order.

Dromund Kaas

Faction: The Sith Empire

Number of Datacrons: 5 

Other Notes: Dromund Kaas is the capital of the Sith Empire. As such, Datacrons on Dromund Kaas are currently inaccessible to Republic players. 

Red Datacron

Reward: Strength +2, Galactic History 19: The Pius Dea Crusades

Coordinates: 855, 643

Directions: This one's a little tricky. Start at the Dromund Kaas Spaceport Docking Bay D-61. Nearby, there should be a ramp. Go up that ramp, and once you're at the top, drop down onto the metal support beams at 873, 596. Once you're on the beams, it's just a matter of crossing them to the box where the Datacron rests. If it helps, the docking bay is located on the opposite side of the Spaceport from the Black Talon Docking Bay. 

Yellow Datacron 

Reward: Presence +2, Galactic History 21: The Birth of the Mandalorians

Coordinates:  581, 798

Directions:  After leaving the Dromund Kaas Spaceport, turn left and follow the path up the hill. When you reach the top, there should be a hidden opening in the nearby rock-face that leads to the Datacron. Note that there's usually a Gundark Lifetaker elite mob guarding the entrance, so be careful. If you received the quest Warning Sign, you're going to need to go this way anyway- go past the third beacon you have to rewire. 

Orange Datacron

Reward: Cunning +2, Galactic History 22: The Second Great Schism

Coordinates:  -1219, 209

Directions: This Datacron's located in the Dark Temple Approach, Kaas City Expansion District. When you first enter the district from the city, take the right fork in the road. As you follow the road, you should eventually see the Datacron glowing in the distance, atop a seemingly-inaccessible pillar of stone.  When you reach-1098, 219, near some tents you'll see a number of boxes stacked against a cliff face. Start climbing up, and eventually, you ‘ll be able to drop down to the Datacron's platform. 

Green Datacron

Reward: Endurance +2, Galactic History 20: Chancellor Blotus

Coordinates: -187, 1738

Directions: Just north of Lord Grathan's residence, there's a hidden path right between the defenses and the wall. Just follow the path, and you'll eventually reach the Datacron. 

White Datacron

Reward: Yellow Matrix Shard, Galactic History 18: The Hutt Cataclysms

Coordinates: -187, 1738

Directions: This is the toughest Datacron on Dromund Kaas to get, since you're going to have to get by several groups of elites.  It's situated in the Malignant Bog, south of the wall warp point. You should see the Datacron atop a waterfall nearby- go easy, and you'll find a hidden path located at 30, 1700 that cuts behind the mountain. Follow the path, and you'll have your Datacron. You should probably wait until you've gotten the [Heroic +2] Shadow Spawn quest before attempting to acquire this one.

Balmorra

Faction: Independent, Occupied By The Sith

Number of Datacrons: 10 (5 Empire, 5 Republic)  

Other Notes: Most of the Datacrons on Balmorra are faction specific.  

Empire

White Datacron 1

Reward: Aim +2, Galactic History 28: The Battle at Primus Goluud

Coordinates: -1017, 1514

Directions: Admittedly, knowing the coordinates is only the first step of locating this one. Not only is it smack dab in the middle of a heroic area (The Assembly Line in the Droid Factory), it's also very well hidden, to boot. After taking the elevator down to the Assembly Line area, look for the first droid conveyor to your right, and drop down into a hidden room from there. After that, drop down the nearest support shaft into the pipe that holds the Datacron. Oh, and watch out for the elites- chances are they won't just be standing there politely while you're trying to figure this one out. 

Orange Datacron

Reward: Cunning +2, Galactic History 29: Sadow's Escape

Coordinates: 1853, 111

Directions: Guess what? You're going on an adventure! In order to locate this Datacron, you're going to need to trek through the whole Balmorran Arms factory, after entering from the Northern Sundari Flatlands. Once you've gotten through the factory and arrived at the nearby power center, head east, take a swim, and follow the shore. There's your Datacron. 

White Datacron 2

Reward: Green Matrix Shard, Galactic History 30: Rise of the Sith Emperor

Coordinates: -504, 1988

Note: You'll need another player's help to obtain this Datacron 

Directions: This one's in the Neebray warehouse, in the lower level. Use the elevator towards the back, and it'll take you down into a room that contains the Datacron. It's protected by a forcefield that can only be lowered by the simultaneous activation of two switches on opposite sides of the room. Bring a friend.

Red Datacron

Reward: Strength +2, Galactic History 31: The Ritual of Nathema

Coordinates: 272, 2033

Directions: East of Outpost Victory, you'll find a path leading to the South/Southeast at 695, 1879 (keep sharp, it's quite easy to miss) . Follow it, and you'll eventually come across the Datacron, sitting up against the wall of a chasm. 

Purple Datacron

Reward: Willpower +2, Galactic History 32: Long Exile

Coordinates: 191, -346

Directions: Located in the Farnel Research facility in Bugtown, you'll find a locked chest with a quest icon hovering over it. In order to open that chest, you'll need to find Ba'teil the Junk Dealer (located at 574, 35) and purchase the Lost Code Cylinder. Bring some creds- it'll cost 5,000. On the plus side, if you're in a group, only one person needs to shell out. 

Galactic Republic

White Datacron

Reward: Aim +4, Galactic History 53: The Conclave at Deneba

Coordinates: 191, -346

Directions: Same deal as the Empire's Purple Datacron. You'll need to buy the Lost Code Cylinder for 5,000 creds from Ba'teil the Junk Dealer in Bugtown (574, 35) if you want this one. 

Green Datacron

Reward: Endurance +3, Galactic History 54: Ulic's Fall

Coordinates: -485, 233

Directions: This one's nestled deep within the Colicoid Queen's nest, the entrance of which can be found at -190, -121. At -358, -230, you'll find a hidden tunnel that'll take you straight to the Datacron. You'll need to come here for the Down With The Queen Quest, anyway, so you might as well pick up the Datacron on the way. 

Purple Datacron

Reward: Willpower +4, Galactic History 55: The Ascension of Exar Kun

Coordinates: -779, 2069

Directions: From the Lower Makaran Outpost, go south. Follow the road until you reach a bridge with an Anti-Air tower next to it; then look for a pipe along a nearby ridge to the west. Run across said pipe, then follow a small path around the hill- the Datacron will be just below you when you reach the end. 

Orange Datacron

Reward: Cunning +4, Galactic History 56: The Brotherhood of The Sith

Coordinates: -1017, 1514

Directions: This Datacron's the same as the "White Datacron 1" on the Sith side. Same deal as that one- After taking the elevator down to the Assembly Line area, look for the first droid conveyor to your right, and drop down into a hidden room from there. After that, drop down the nearest support shaft into the pipe that holds the Datacron. Again, keep your eyes peeled for the elites. 

Yellow Datacron 

Reward: Presence +2, Galactic History 57: The Brotherhood's Power Grows

Coordinates: 730, 2030

Directions: From Sundari outpost, go south, and keep your eyes open for a well-concealed path at around 716, 1856. Watch out for elites wandering about the area. This Datacron is very similar to the Sith-side's Datacron 31. 

White Datacron

Reward: Aim +2, Galactic History 28: The Battle at Primus Goluud

Coordinates: -1017, 1514

Directions: Admittedly, knowing the coordinates is only the first step of locating this one.

After that, drop down the nearest support shaft into the pipe that holds the Datacron. Oh, and watch out for the elites - chance s are they won't just be standing there politely while you're trying to figure this one out.
