Locations of all Audio Logs and Research Items

Star Trek: The Video Game is hitting store shelves several weeks before its movie counterpart, but that's no issue. In fact, the video game follows its own narrative. In addition to a new story, it also brings collectibles: audio logs and research items.

Audio logs provide back story and insight into several characters, á la Bioshock. Research items come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from important electronic devices to hidden Tribbles. Collecting every audio log and research item will net you a few trophies, but doing so will take some serious searching. Fortunately, we've search all over the universe and tracked everything down, so just follow along to snag every item Star Trek: The Video Game has to offer!

Finding every one will grant you the following achievements and trophies.
