It doesn't exist. Starfinder two handed weapons tend to do more base damage, but they do not get 1.5 str bonus damage. There is a solder class ability that allows you to gain 1.5 str with any melee weapon regardless of hands, but it's soldier only.

Thank you, this is what I thought but I was surprised it was not mentioned in legacy rules.

In the Starfinder Core Rulebook there is no 1-1/2 Str for two-handed weapons (or for one-handed weapons wielded with two hands). They instead increased the base damage of the two-handed weapons to typically be higher than a one-handed weapon of the same level.

EDIT
What Imbicatus said, they type faster than me!
