In order to keep articles about locations useful for readers, only notable loot is to be listed, i.e. items that are of special interest. In order to be considered notable, they must fit into at least one of the categories below:

• Uniqueness or rarity
• High monetary value
• Used in repeatable quests and found in substantial amounts
• Oversized or undersized variants of otherwise non-notable items
• Notably high amounts of otherwise non-notable items
• Holodisks and notes

One-of-a-kind items are always notable. This includes unique weapons, armor, notes, and items with a finite quantity (i.e., not found in shops, random loot, etc).
