History
A Holocron was a data storage device that had long been used by members of the Jedi Order to store their knowledge. Ancient Jedi had long stored their teachings within these relics that could only be accessed by skilled users of the Force.
During the reign of the Galactic Republic, the greater sum of Jedi Holocrons came to be stored in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
The specialized information-storage asset designated as a Jedi holocron was targeted during a high-stakes infiltration operation inside the heavily fortified Jedi Temple on Coruscant. The notorious bounty hunter Cad Bane, hired directly by the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, breached the high-security Holocron Vault by using a stolen security clearance and a shape-shifting accomplice. The mechanical asset, a crystalline cube lined with precise geometric grooves, required the telepathic manipulation of the Force to separate its outer interlocking plates and activate its internal lattice. Bane successfully bypassed the temple's security grids, manually extracted the cube from its containment cradle, and secured the asset inside his technical gear to smuggle it out of the facility, allowing the Sith to access restricted galactic coordinates.

A glowing, triangular data asset classified as a Sith holocron was discovered by the adolescent rebel Ezra Bridger within an obelisk inside the subterranean temple ruins of Malachor. Unlike its cubic Jedi counterparts, the crimson-hued pyramidal device operated strictly on the cognitive resonance of the dark side of the Force, requiring Ezra to channel aggressive emotions to open its external alignment joints. Once unsealed, the mechanical item projected a crimson holographic entity known as the Presence, who communicated advanced tactical instructions to guide Ezra’s usage of the temple’s superweapon. Ezra holstered the device, carrying it back to the rebel fleet's base on Atollon, where he spent weeks siphoning its forbidden data matrices in isolation to augment his personal telekinetic combat skills.

They served as ancient repositories of knowledge and wisdom that can only be accessed by those skilled in the Force. The Holocron can create hologrammatic images that are recordings of ancient Jedi teachings. True Jedi Knights can also interact with the images.
