SWTOR Balmorra (Republic) Orange Mastery Datacron Location Guide

The Orange Mastery Datacron increases your aptitude in combat, allowing you to do more damage. It will grant you Mastery +4 to your permanent stats along with codex: Galactic History 56: The Brotherhood of the Sith. There are 5 Datacrons in total located on the planet of Balmorra.

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.

Starting coordinates: -1022, 1483.

This Datacron is located in the lower levels of the Okara Droid Factory in the Markaran Plains. This is the exact same as the Imperial Blue Mastery Datacron, so be sure you are on the correct faction.

After entering the main factory, turn right (left side on the map) towards the elevator leading to the Assembly Line.

When you reach the large open room with the conveyor belts to your right, jump down between the first two ones.

Underneath the second conveyor belt is an opening with pipes leading down to the lower levels.

You will see the Datacron directly below on a pipe quite far down. I recommend disabling sprint (you can right-click the icon on your buff bar) to make it less likely to jump off too far. Align your character parallel to the edge and move forward slowly with a slight angle towards the first pipe.

From this pipe walk directly backwards to land precisely on the pipe below.

This will grant you Mastery +4 to your permanent stats along with codex: Galactic History 56: The Brotherhood of the Sith.

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:

The Jedi still hoped to save their fallen brother Ulic Qel-Droma, who had become leader of the evil Krath cult. Ulic's close friend Nomi led a second rescue mission to the city of Cinnagar to bring him home. But again Ulic resisted, unleashing his vast armies until the Jedi were forced to withdraw.

It was then that the Dark Jedi Exar Kun arrived at Cinnagar's royal palace. From Yavin Four, Exar Kun had sensed Ulic's growing dark power and saw him as a threat. The two men clashed in a ferocious duel until the spirit of Marka Ragnos, a long-dead Sith Lord, appeared to them.

Ragnos commanded Ulic Qel-Droma and Exar Kun to join forces; together, they could bring about the long-prophesied Golden Age of the Sith. With Exar Kun as Dark Lord and Ulic as his apprentice, the Brotherhood of the Sith was born.
