'''Illegal Data''' in [[Mega Man Star Force 3]] are special rewards which can be obtained from battle in place of the normal rewards.

==System==
A [[Noise Level Gauge]] is required, so a Noise Control Program (AcePrgrm/JokrPrgm) Ability Wave needs to be equipped. When you finish a battle with high Noise, 100% or higher, and without ZennyFinder and CardFinder W.E. Data on, you will receive Illegal Data instead of a regular battle drop. If the battle is finished with Busting LV. S, then up to 3 cards can be received, based on the Noise Level % at the end of the battle.

{| class="wikitable"
! Noise Level % !! Busting Level !! Result
|-
| 0%-99% || Any || 1 normal battle reward
|-
| 100%-199% || Any || 1 Illegal Data reward
|-
| 200%-299% || LV. S || 2 Illegal Data rewards
|-
| 300+% || LV. S || 3 Illegal Data rewards
|}

Using a number of factors, the game will calculate an Illegal Data Level for that battle. Based on the Illegal Data Level, a reward pool will be chosen from which all Illegal Data rewards will be drawn.

===Starting Levels===
The game first calculates your base Illegal Data Level by checking the Battle Level of the battle you just finished. This is a hidden value set for each random encounter individually, that also affects how many HP you need in order to escape successfully.

===Increasing the Level===
There is a hidden counter that increases whenever you finish a battle (with a reward screen) at low Noise. If you finish a battle with 50-99% Noise, the counter increases by 1; if you finish with 0-49% Noise, the counter increases by 2.

The counter begins counting when you first receive a Noise Control Program  during the story, and it caps out at 120. If you unequip the Program, then the Noise % will not change during battle, but the hidden battle counter will still increase. Note that, normally when you finish a fight with 100% or higher Noise, in the next fight you will start at 50% Noise rather than 0% Noise. If you unequip the Noise Control Program after a fight with 100% or higher Noise, then immediately go into another battle without pulsing out, the Noise % will still be at 50% even though it is not visible, so the hidden counter will go up by 1 rather than 2 for that one fight.

Depending on the value of the counter when you finish a battle with high Noise, you will get a bonus to your Illegal Data Level (caps out at 8).

{| class="wikitable"
!Value!!Bonus
|-
|0-9 || No bonus
|-
|10-19 || 100%: Lv+1
|-
|20-29 || 30%: Lv+1 <br> 70%: Lv+2
|-
|30-39 || 20%: Lv+1 <br> 35%: Lv+2 <br> 45%: Lv+3
|-
|40+|| 10%: Lv+1 <br> 20%: Lv+2 <br> 30%: Lv+3 <br> 40%: Lv+4
|}

Following this, the counter will be decreased by 10 times the number of bonus levels you got. For example, if the counter was at 35 and you get Level +2, then it will now be at 15. In other words, you can gain better rewards by first fighting many battles at low Noise %, and then fighting a few difficult battles at high Noise %.

==Illegal Data Drops==
For each Illegal Data Level, there are 2-3 reward pools defined which can be chosen for a battle. In the tables below all reward pools associated with an Illegal Data Level have been consolidated into a single list.
