This Datacron is located on top of a broken bridge in Ossus Canyon. To reach the location,you need to pick up an item in a small cave.

Follow the cave to the end and drop down.

To your right you will find an unfortunate Crushed Explorer (Rodian). You have to loot a grapple off of him, which will be transferred to your Missions Items inventory.

To exit the cave, you can Quick Travel or now click the green glowing circle from where you just entered. This way you also get to test the grapple safely.

In Ossus Canyon, close to the path that leads to the Farms, up to the left of the river (north of it on the map), you will see some brokens steps leading to the broken bridge. Starting coordinates: 658, 287.

Climb the broken stairs. Use a mount for speed and help with the jumps.

When you get to the final bit of the broken stairs, click the green glowing circle on the edge of the bridge and grapple to its location.

This will grant you Presence +5 to your permanent stats along with codex: The Unlikely Survival of Ossus.

This datacron holds unheard of power and knowledge collected by an unknown individual. You access its power and discover information unknown to many:

Ossus still bears the scars of the Cron Supernova: its surface is a seared wasteland of rock and sand. But even this degree of desolation is shockingly mild; that the planet was not rendered into a charred ball of molten rock, or even obliterated completely, is nothing short of miraculous.

Little academic work has been put forward to explain this unlikely survival; only conjecture. The initial cause of the supernova was unnatural; perhaps this explains the unnatural results? Ossus was a stronghold of the Jedi; does the inherent life force of such a place make it more resistant to destruction? Could the unique astrophysical structure of the Adega system where Ossus is found have played a role?

Regardless of the reasons, the continued survival of Ossus offers the promise that its ancient mysteries may one day be unlocked.
