Persona core

The persona core is a highly valuable component used to build the ship computer core, which is one of the ship parts required to get off the planet.

Acquisition

Persona cores can only be found in an item stash world quest, or earned as a reward for completing quests for other factions. Once the Starflight Basics research project has been completed, you may also purchase the location of one from allied factions for the price of 1500 silver.

Analysis

As you need only one core to win the game, additional cores can be traded away without fear of setting yourself back. Alternatively, if another victory condition will be performed, or none will be, then they can also be sold without consequence.
