CIN DRALLIG'S HOLOCRON



HISTORY
Cin Drallig was a male Human who served as a legendary Jedi Master during the Clone Wars. He was known as one of the Order's premier duelists at the time, having mastered all seven forms of lightsaber combat that existed at the time. In the later years of his life, Drallig served as the Battlemaster, Chief of Security, and head of the Temple Guard all at once for the Jedi Order, as well as training many of the Order's master swordspeople at the time including legends like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker.

However, the latter would end up becoming his downfall. During Operation Knightfall, Anakin Skywalker, now christened Darth Vader led the 501st Legion into the heart of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and slaughtered his fellow Jedi. Cin Drallig, to his credit, stood tall and tried to stop the destruction by engaging Vader head on. However, he was tragically slain by the powerful Sith Lord; the apprentice having become the master.

However, his legacy did not end with his death. He had recorded a holocron before the events of Order 66 to instruct future Jedi long after he became one with the Force. This Holocron, whether through design or accident, survived the attack on the Temple and eventually fell into the hands of a private collector. This collector eventually put the valuable Jedi artifact up for auction and it became the property of one Rin Praji, a wealthy member of an illustrious family on Kaikelius, who grew up enraptured by tales of the Jedi.

THE HOLOCRON

Appearance wise, the holocron mostly looks like others of its make during that time period. It's shaped like a cube and glows whenever someone Force-Sensitive touches it. A few scorch marks and scuffs are indicators of both its age and the horrors that it survived through.

There are ten chapters in this holocron, each one containing valuable information that Drallig left behind to continue his legacy.. The first seven of chapters are of Drallig imparting detailed instructions and lessons in each of the seven forms of lightsaber combat. In addition to providing the basic framework and exercises necessary for a lightsaber owner to become proficient in these arts, Drallig gives lessons on how to beat each form. The other three chapters are Drallig giving his thoughts on each of the positions he held as Battlemaster, head of the Temple Guard, and Chief of Security respectively. He tells tales of each of the jobs, how he thinks he could have improved the three positions, and the best thing future Jedi in that role can do to prepare for them.

All told, it's a summation of who Drallig was in the Order and the massive developments he made both towards lightsaber combat and towards improving the Temple's security functions.



INTENT
There are two main intentions with the creation of this lore object. The first is to spawn a series of missions that justify the Jedi Order can partake in to reclaim this lost artifact. The second is to give Drow Venn a series of lessons to better prepare him for taking up Drallig's role as Chief of Security that he is seeking to obtain after formerly founding a civillian Temple Security Force. Additionally, it can be used by future Jedi to gain better understanding and expertise in lightsaber combat.
