Xandarian Mainframe Core

"He discovered that there were universes stacked on top of his own..."

The subject of this article comes from an alternate universe connecting to the main timeline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This universe is designated by the Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki as "Nova Corpsman Nebula".

"A Xandarian Mainframe Core, impressive."

―Yon-Rogg^[src]

A Xandarian Mainframe Core is a data storage unit with information from all Xandarian administrative departments.

History[]

Stolen Schematics[]

"That's an old city-wide mainframe core. It's a unit B-42, I believe."

―Korg to Nebula and Howard the Duck^[src]

Howard and Nebula — Howard the Duck and Nebula look at the Xandarian Mainframe Core schematics

As a way of storing information, the planet of Xandar used Xandarian Mainframe Cores to store information for various government data. When the defenses of the planet went up to prevent Ronan the Accuser from entering the planet, the shield generator was activated. The source code for the shield was stored inside a B-42 Xandarian Mainframe Core. Hearing of plans to obtain the source code, Yondu stole the schematics to the Xandarian Mainframe Core to prevent the shield from being opened which he stored in his Yaka Arrow.^[1]

Yondu was killed for this information and his corpse and Yaka Arrow were found by Nebula. When Nebula discovered the schematics in the Yaka Arrow, she took it to Howard's Casino where she met Howard the Duck in an attempt to figure out what it was. Although Howard the Duck did not know what the schematics were for, Korg, who worked as a waiter at the casino did. Korg then informed Nebula of what the schematics were for, and that it housed the source code for the shield generator, leading Nebula to plan a mission to destroy the code.^[1]

Destroying the Source Code[]

"I need to get into that mainframe and destroy those codes."

―Nebula to Korg and Howard the Duck^[src]

In order to break into the place where the Xandarian Mainframe Core was located, Nebula broke out Yon-Rogg to help her break in. Once inside, Nebula connected to the Xandarian Mainframe Core and deleted the source code for the shield generator. Before Nebula could disconnect however, Yon-Rogg plugged a thumb drive into Nebula, stealing the shield source code for himself, leaving Nebula still connected to the Xandarian Mainframe Core while he flooded the room and made his escape. Nebula was able to disconnect from the Xandarian Mainframe Core, but nearly drowned before being washed out of the room.^[1]

Capabilities[]

The Xandarian Mainframe Core is a spherical data storage device used for storage of government data. In addition to storing the code for Xandar's planetary shield generator, the Xandarian Mainframe Core also stored sanitation department metadata, unpaid parking tickets, rush hour statistics, and a physical kitchen sink.^[1]
