Star Core

The Star core is a quest item in the Fallout 4 add-on Nuka-World.

Characteristics
Star cores (Systemized Telemetry for Automated Robot Control) are redundant multi-purpose control panels consisting of a black circuit board with glowing red lights. They are necessary for taking over the Galactic Zone during the quests Star Control and The Grand Tour, but they can also be picked up during normal exploration. Only 20 of the total 35 star cores are required for the quest. Collecting the full set unlocks the display case which holds the Quantum X-01 Mk.V power armor, provided Nuka-World's power has been restored by completing Power Play or Open Season.

Locations
There are 35 Star cores in total
 * 6 can be found at Vault-Tec: Among the Stars.

 * Down that corridor, and take the elevator to the left. Once in the basement, enter the next room through the opening left of the elevator and pick up the core from the console straight ahead.
