A holocron was a crystal lattice (often cubical and sized to be held in one hand) in which the Jedi, as well as the Sith, of old stored phenomenal quantities of data, as well as the holocron’s gatekeeper. The Sith also had their own form of holocron technology, and they seem to predate the Jedi in using the technology by three thousand years. 2fh3i

The holocron was able to capture the appearance and cognitive networks of the holocron’s owner, and transform this into a three-dimensional hologram. dark side repository.

The technology to make them was nearly lost after the Great Jedi Purge. Surviving holocrons contained information including Jedi techniques, blueprints of ancient starships, and historical information about the universe; as a result, they were quite valuable. Usually, only Force-sensitive s could access a holocron, though it is known that Bastila Shan‘s father also made one, which he used as a journal. Additionally, Data holocrons were a type of holocron that did not require Force sensitivity to access.
Construction
The process by which holocrons were created was a very difficult one. In the days of the old Sith Empire, holocrons were prevalent among the Dark Lords just as Jedi holocrons were among steps one must take to successfully construct the pyramidal Sith holocron.
Crystal matrix
As the Shi’ido form of Belia Darzu explained, the process can take months to finally perfect, though sometimes a holocron could be created within the short span of a few weeks. Each was unique to its creator; one who sought to fashion their own crystal matrix that must be fine tuned to prevent device failure. Rare crystal was used in the workings and tunings of the intricate network that would store potentially infinite data. Each holocron matrix had to meet perilous specifications, usually requiring thousands of precise alterations and adjustments on a subatomic level. Only through the power of the Force could one ensure that each crystalline strand was properly aligned.
