Site lore


This Jedi holocron was constructed and recorded by The Caretaker of First Knowledge, Bruce Guleya within the secret Jedi Temple/Base of Eclipse in 6896 BBY. As one of the Jedi Council before Knightfall in 6898 BBY, he was granted certain luxuries and had a wealth of Jedi Knowledge obtained with his privilege. Contained within was countless stories and teaching, but nothing of ultimate secrecy.

Contents

Like all Jedi holocrons, the contents of Bruce's device could only be accessed by another Jedi Knight. The Caretaker himself served as the holocron's gatekeeper, there was no real restrictions imposed on accessing the contents. The Gatekeeper ensured that the information being provided was going to be given to someone who had proven they had a stronger connection to the Light Side as it was Jedi knowledge to be provided; there were also certain security features installed to ensure it's own survival - much like a Kyber Crystal.

Before his Holocron actually began to reveal it's contents, it gave the Force User an chance to better get to know the bardottan and his role within the Jedi Order as the Caretaker of First Knowledge. It'd allow for philosophical debates and talks, it'd even teach aspects of Bruce's culture and talk about his experiences and his friends he had accumulated when he was a real being; this was set up to help make learning and understanding slightly easier - as the Caretaker believed in bonds and when two people understood more about each other, things would absorb better. This approach would almost seem like a true Force Ghost in the way he was portrayed. True, it may have come off a little long-winded - like in reality - but at least there was some methods of fast forwarding through the ideal chit-chat. This aspects could be requested as training progressed.

The device, like the Grand Master's Holocron was to be used by a new generation of Jedi and contained the combined knowledge of the Jedi Code, its Nine Tenants, the Trials of Knighthood, and the Trials of Mastery, to ensure that there was an increased chance that the information would be located and preserved; it explained the councils and their purpose, the titles and their duties as achievements. Though it contained information on how to avoid the Dark Side of the Force, Bruce also spoke to what he believed to be some of the Jedi Order's greatest failings and his suggestions on how to remedy such failings; such as discussions of attachments and how younglins might benefit from a restyling of their training. It also contained the information related to a process for new admissions into the Jedi Order of old.

For Jedi users with a basic understanding of the Order's philosophy and a similarly basic use of the Force, the holocron would actually serve as a teacher in that it helped hone the user's application in the basic controls of the Force. The Gatekeeper Bruce would always be projected as a full sized individual and would often act as if it was actually a living being. Further he was was armed with countless textbooks of information and History of the Jedi Order as he knew it, coupled with his own 40 years of experience. The Gatekeeper also was capable of explaining the Dagoyan Masters' and their Force beliefs, as they had shaped him to the Jedi he was; Bruce could explain that while there were certain ways of looking at the Force, it was his duty and his beliefs to always seek unity and balance.

As the user advanced through the pathways of the Holocron, the Caretaker's Gatekeeper would explain the proper applications of the Force to heal the body, the mind, and the soul, while being exposed to the darkest of energies and still remaining in a constant state of light. It also contained Bruce's limited knowledge of retaining one's consciousness in the Force after death—for those who truly mastered the light side of the Force. (If you did not, it would never reveal that there was more to teach)

Finally, the Caretaker of First Knowledge delved into the Jedi Shadows and their role within the galaxy as a whole. He would reveal Dark Side artifacts known to him and their locations at the time of the Holocrons creation. He would explain the location of vergances and locations with a strong Force connection, including Kyber Crystals; unlike Wyck he was unable to provide a starmap. The secrets the Caretaker would finally teach were abilities that would prove to be incredibly useful to an individual who sought to walk the Shadows - from concealing their presence in the Force and physical form, to the purification of Force Light and the preservation of Force Seal.

Intent
To create a Holocron for Bruce's final act and story on the boards. To continue to link the Jedi's together from timeline to timeline by allowing the characters to locate and consume as they see fit. The teaching styles preserved are iconic to Bruce in that they are patient and deep, helping people understand themselves better by helping to sort through their selves. In finality, the holocron is a way to preserve countless Jedi knowledge to prevent the absolute destruction or trace of that knowledge.
