Editing UNSC navigation core

{{Era|HCW}}
{{ratings}}
The '''UNSC navigation core''', also referred to as the '''data core''', is the human equivalent of the [[Covenant power module]] made by [[Misriah Armory]].<ref name="boneyard">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', multiplayer level ''[[Boneyard]]''</ref>

==Overview==
These cores are installed within UNSC ships in use for interplanetary navigation. In an event when a Covenant force is detected, the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]] is enacted and all navigation modules such as the 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]].

When a UNSC ship is scrapped, the ship-breaking facility responsible would usually put such an important piece of equipment into secure storage until they can be purged.<ref name="boneyard"/>

==Appearance==
The core in strikingly similar to the [[Forerunner]] [[power core]]. Its 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 does when containing an AI. Multiple warnings are also imprinted on its body. Handles are also present on the base for hand-held transporting.
