Olfaction Core augmentations

[GMSubterranDan]

On page 148 of Starfinder Enhanced, the table says that Olfaction Core uses the "nose" system (which afaik doesn't get used by anything else previously printed) while the item description itself says it uses the brain augmentation slot. Would love clarification about which is accurate. As a GM, for my games I'd rule it was the nose because I think there should be a couple more augmentation systems than there already is, but as a player (specifically in Society play) I would love an official ruling.

Official clarification pending, agreed that the Brain slot makes more sense.
As an additional data point, though, the only other nose-related augmentation we've seen uses the Lungs slot, so. Who knows?

I doubt they intended to create a new augmentation system at this point in starfinders life. However there is precedence for something like this. The original list of augmentations does state that it is not necessarily a complete list. And later books have indeed introduced the endocrine system as an additional augmentation slot. So the existence of a nose system can't be conclusively ruled out.
All that said, i do think either nose or brain is a misprint. And of those two it makes more sense that the more established brain system is correct.

For what it is worth (which, admittedly, isn't much), AoN.com lists the Olfaction Core items as 'Nose' items on their Equipment / Augmentations / Cybernetics page...
