The UC Defense Manual 01 is on a shelf inside the 1-of-a-Kind Salvage on planet Niira in the Narion star system.
Once you've teleported to the 1-of-a-Kind Salvage, move forward and go inside the first airlock on your right that's guarded by turrets. Once you're inside, the shelf with the UC Defense Manual 01 should be on the platform on the other side from where you're standing, right next to a big chest. |

| How to Get | |||||||||||||||
| UC Defense Manual 04 is a randomly generated Skill Magazine that appears in Abandoned Weapons Outposts and Abandoned Weapon Stations.
These outposts have been observed to typically appear on Moons, but could possibly appear on some planets as well. Once you're able to locate one, keep an eye out for structures with a second floor. We found ours in Piazzi III-A in the Piazzi star system. The Magazine should be behind a set of orange locked doors on the second floor of a structure within the outpost. |

Obtaining Skill Magazines will automatically give you permanent bonus effects based on the number of magazines you've collected in a certain category. Whether you decide to sell or drop the magazine after getting it will not affect the buffs you've received.
Bonus effects from collecting Skill Magazines will remain in your New Game Plus playthrough. This will also allow you to gain new effects after obtaining similar magazines you've gathered in different universes.
After activating all bonus effects, the Skill Magazines will no longer have any bonus descriptions and are only good for selling.
