- Holocron Name: The Holocron of Master Goran
- Alignment: Light Side
- Origin: Created by Jedi Master Goran, a renowned Rodian philosopher and historian from the High Republic Era.
- Affiliation: The Jedi Order, currently held by the New Jedi Order for preservation and study.
- Gatekeeper:
The gatekeeper is a holographic representation of Master Goran. He appears as a Rodian male with green skin, wearing traditional Jedi robes with High Republic embellishments. His personality is warm, inquisitive, and reflective. Goran speaks with a soft, deliberate tone, encouraging patience and self-discovery in those who consult the holocron. He is deeply philosophical, often posing questions to provoke critical thinking rather than providing direct answers. - Description:
The Holocron of Master Goran is a geometric artifact of intricate design, primarily cubic in shape with glowing cyan patterns etched across its surface. It emits a faint, soothing hum when activated. The holocron serves as a repository of Master Goran's teachings, blending historical records with his meditations on the Force, the Jedi's role in the galaxy, and the challenges they may face in the future.
- Accessibility:
The holocron requires the touch of a Force-sensitive individual attuned to the Light Side. To activate it, the user must recite the phrase: "Through understanding, we achieve harmony," in Galactic Basic or Rodese. - Security:
The holocron features a subtle Force-based defense mechanism. If accessed by a Dark Side practitioner, the gatekeeper emits a disorienting pulse of the Force to disrupt their concentration, making it difficult to engage with the holocron's contents.
The Holocron of Master Goran contains a wealth of knowledge, including:
- Philosophical Meditations:
- Master Goran's reflections on the nature of the Force, emphasizing balance, understanding, and the interplay of light and dark.
- Insights into the Jedi Code, including debates on its interpretation during the High Republic.
- Thoughts on how Jedi should adapt to changing galactic dynamics, with warnings against dogmatism and stagnation.
- Historical Records:
- Chronicles of the High Republic's golden age, focusing on major events, prominent Jedi, and the Order's achievements during this era.
- Accounts of early explorations and the Jedi's role in mediating conflicts across the galaxy.
- Practical Knowledge:
- Instruction on advanced Force techniques, such as heightened sensory awareness and environmental manipulation.
- Guidance on diplomacy, negotiation, and conflict resolution.
- Lessons on lightsaber combat, with an emphasis on Form VI (Niman) and its balance of techniques.
- Prophetic Writings:
- Goran's contemplations on the Jedi Order's potential futures, including cryptic warnings about arrogance, overreach, and the importance of humility.
- Speculations on how the galaxy might evolve and the Jedi's evolving role as guardians of peace and justice.
The Holocron of Master Goran was created during the latter half of the High Republic Era, a time of prosperity and exploration for the Jedi Order. Master Goran, a Rodian Jedi known for his deep philosophical insights and contributions to the Order's archives, designed the holocron to preserve his teachings and provide guidance to future generations.
Goran believed that the Jedi Order must remain adaptable, empathetic, and self-aware to endure the galaxy's challenges. His writings often critiqued rigid interpretations of the Jedi Code and urged Jedi to embrace growth and understanding. This perspective made him a beloved yet occasionally controversial figure among his peers.
The holocron was carefully hidden during the Great Jedi Purge to prevent its destruction. Rediscovered centuries later in the ruins of a High Republic outpost on Rodia, it was preserved by the New Jedi Order, who now study it for its wisdom and historical significance.
Though largely revered, Goran's more critical observations of the Jedi Order's potential flaws occasionally spark debate among modern Jedi. His teachings remind them of the importance of humility, adaptability, and staying true to the Force's deeper purpose. It has been taken to the Jedi Enclave on Sedesia for safe keeping.
