UNSC navigation core

A UNSC navigation core, also referred as the Data Core, is the human equivalent of the Covenant Power Module made by Misriah Armory.

Overview
These cores are installed within UNSC ships in use for interplanetary navigation. In an event when a Covenant force is detected, the Cole Protocol is enacted and all navigation modules such as the UNSC navigation core would need to be dismantled and its data purged. Should the Covenant obtain a navigation module, it would provide them the necessary information to navigate towards other UNSC colonies and Earth.

Ship breaking facilities usually scrap such important piece and protect them.

Appearance
The core in strikingly similar to the Forerunner power core. It's overall size is a rectangular shape with multiple wires protruding from the base to the outer part. The core also glow blue much like data storage units containing AI. Many warnings are also imprinted on it's base. Handles are also put on the base for hand-held traveling.
