The Founders Holocron is a Holocron containing the core tenets of the three Jedi Orders (Consular, Guardian, and Sentinel), the philosophies of three Jedi Masters as well as two unique force powers adapted for use by the Disciples of Odan-Urr. Created in [Blank] ABY by the Founders Ji and Solari. This holocron stands as the heart of all knowledge of the Jedi Order on New Tython.

The Founders Holocron itself lies hidden away within the subterranean caverns deep under Ooroo Abbey in the New Tythonian capital of Menat Ombo. This holocron remains a source of clear contention with the outbreak of the Tenth Great Jedi War as Brotherhood forces seek to collect this Jedi Compendium.

Origin

• Where, when, how and why was this Holocron created by Ji and Solari?

Physical Description

The Holocron is the shape of a 3D decagon, made out of crystal and metal. Within each crystal side has a different inscription meaning something different, the main Inscription emits a hologram of random Jedi, such as if Ji was holding it Solari would appear and vice-versa. If the Grand Master held it, either one of them would pop up, but for anyone outside of Odan-Urr nothing happens. The Holocron Grows a deep blue with a tinge of white which lights up the entire Holocron, Its un clear why Ji and Solari choose blue but it is the colour of Ji’s Lightsaber.

Jedi Orders

The Great Jedi Library on Ossus

Consular

Philosophy

Jedi Consulars are the scholars, medical staff and diplomats of the Jedi Order. What Jedi Guardians achieve through combat and violence, Jedi Consulars achieve through reasoning, negotiations, and diplomacy. Consulars spend a lot of their time in study, learning the mysteries of the Force. Consulars have the opportunity to pursue many different avenues within the Jedi Order. These avenues, paths, and careers include: a Jedi Ambassador, Jedi Artisan, Jedi Diplomat, Jedi Healer, Jedi Lore Keeper, and Jedi Researcher. While there are many paths that the Jedi Consular can take, the most skilled and learned Jedi Consulars and Jedi Masters are given the title of Sage Master. It is believed that two Sage Masters, along with two Warrior Masters, founded the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Although Jedi Consulars try to avoid conflict as much as possible, they still carried a lightsaber; usually with a green blade to symbolize their commitment to peace throughout the galaxy.

Odan-Urr

Odan-Urr was born in circa 5,000 ABY and served as a Jedi Master and a Jedi Librarian. Though Master Odan-Urr had many accomplishments, his most notable ones are the creation of the revised version of the Jedi Code and the founding of the Great Jedi Library on Ossus. Master Urr strongly believed in studying the Force, both Light and Dark side. His old Master, Ooroo actually stated that Odan-Urr would be content to spend his entire life in the company of scrolls and documents. He also fought in the Unification Wars of the Koros System and the Great Hyperspace War. From there he founded the Great Jedi Library on Ossus and became its Keeper of Antiquities for centuries. He then called a Conclave on Deneba to discuss how to quell the group that called themselves theKrath led by Satal and Aleema Keto. Masters that joined Odan-Urr at the Conclave were such Masters as Thon, Arca Jeth, and Vodo-Siosk Baas as well as the Jedi Knights Ulic Qel-Droma and Nomi Sunrider. Odan-Urr was killed in 3,996 BBY by Jedi, turned Sith, Exar Kun who killed him to steal the Sith Holocron that had been in Urr’s possession for many years. Much of Odan-Urr’s teachings, including the Force power Sever Force, are contained within the Tedryn Holocron. There are actually some theories in place that the reason behind the Sith returning was because of Urr’s actions before the Great Hyperspace War and, actually, if Odan-Urr didn’t do these actions that the Great Hyperspace war might have been averted. Master Odan-Urr is honored through a bronzium statue on the Processional Way outside the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Odan-Urr was, and is, considered one of the most influential Jedi that had ever lived. His teachings, known as The Teachings of Master Odan-Urr, laid the foundation and ground work for the Jedi Order, right up until the Jedi Purge of 19 ABY. Among these teachings were the ways that Jedi are supposed to act in public, teachings that a Jedi should never lie or manipulate, that one should never use the Force to satisfy their curiosity, that a Jedi should make time to learn other skills that are unrelated to their Force abilities, and, arguably the most important of Odan-Urr's teachings, to "Honor the Jedi Order." Odan-Urr believed that the policies and procedures of the Jedi Order were in place for a reason, and that if one Jedi acted out inappropriately in the public, the public might believe that this is normal for all Jedi and they would be frowned upon.

Guardian

Philosophy

Jedi Guardians are a branch of Jedi within House Odan-Urr whose skills and talents revolve around martial prowess and combat. Concentrating on martial training and combat, Guardians engaged in combat more than either of the other two classes of Jedi; the Consulars or the Sentinels. Descended from the Jedi Order's founders on Tython whose role in the galaxy was to defend the weak and uphold the laws of the Galactic Republic, the Guardians were often seen as representative of the Order and the classic Jedi weapon: the lightsaber. Focusing all their time and effort on honing their martial skills, Jedi Knights who chose to pursue the role of Guardian often built their lightsabers using a blue crystal; symbolizing solidarity and uniformity amongst this branch.

Ulic Qel-Droma

Excerpt from Vima Sunrider’s recordings in the Great Holocron. Detailing the lessons of her master Ulic Qel-Droma, Jedi Guardian

“If you prefer heroics to standing around, becoming a Jedi Guardian is the way for you. While I do not want to discredit the work of our Consulars, it is fact that our Guardians are the first line of defense against the countless enemies that seek to destroy us. We are the heirs of the first Jedi Knights. When the followers of Ashla first left Tython, they did so with the purpose of making the wild galactic frontier safe for innocents—and with the same principles we uphold today. It is also this branch that is identified with lightsabers. They are our weapons and our symbol. We are associated with a blue-bladed lightsaber, though carrying one is more a sign of fraternity than a mandate. I know for certain that you would want to replace your original apprentice saber. We’re warriors, so your lightsaber will see plenty of action. There are many paths to follow within the ranks of our Guardians, the ways of war are many, no single Jedi can be the best in all of them"

Ulic Qel-Droma

Sentinel

Philosophy

A Jedi Sentinel is the name given to one of the three Jedi Orders, and is considered the middle ground to the other Orders. The philosophies behind this Order are often closely linked with Bastila Shan, a Jedi Sentinel famous for her use of Battle Meditation and was also closely associated with the Dark Lord Revan, whom she managed to both capture and redeem. Jedi Sentinels receive adequate knowledge in both combat skills and knowledge of the Force, utilizing both skills when necessary. This Order is also unlike the other two, realizing that the Force has limitations and are not blinded by faith. Oftentimes, it was common that they may learn a series of non-force associated skills such as security, demolitions or stealth techniques, as well as ingenuity. Jedi Sentinels often take on tasks not well suited to the other Orders, preferring to stay in one place for a long period of time. Jedi Sentinels also practiced specialized techniques in the Force. A favored Force technique was a special form of Force Immunity that, combined with their increased mental conditioning, protected against outside mental influences, even Force-based attacks to protect them from effects such as fear or paralysis. Although not often lit unless necessary in a situation, most Sentinels often utilize a yellow blade in their lightsaber although like the other Orders, they are free to choose whichever color they feel best suited to.

Bastila Shan

Bastila Shan was a famous Human Jedi Sentinel who was responsible for using an ancient Force Power called

Bastila Shan, famous Jedi Sentinel for her exceptional use of Battle Meditation.

Battle Meditation in the defeat, capture and redemption of the powerful fallen Jedi, Revan. Born on the planet Talravin to parents Helena Shan and a treasure hunter, Bastila was separated from her family to join the Jedi Order during the Old Republic Era. She had served as a Jedi Knight during the Jedi Civil War and was found to have the extraordinary gift of Battle Meditation, which could affect the outcome to any battle. Battle Meditation created a boon to her allies morale, while demoralizing foes. Shan had chosen to side with the Jedi Council when Jedi Knights Revan and Malak rebelled, joining the Galactic Republic in it's fight against Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders in the Mandalorian Wars. The leader of a strike team tasked with capturing Revan after his return with Malak from the Unknown Regions of space as Dark Lord of the Sith and Malak at the head of a new Sith Empire, Bastila used her Battle Meditation to great effect and eventually cornered the Dark Lord, Revan on the bridge of his Flagship, the Leviathan. Revan's apprentice, Malak made an attempt to destroy Revan's Flagship to destroy both Revan and Bastila, nearly killing Revan. Bastila stabilized Revan, who was now near death, creating a Force Bond between them and temporarily erased the Dark Lord's memories. The Jedi Council had placed their hopes on Revan revealing to Bastila, the location of the Star Forge.

The Star Forge was an ancient and massive shipyard designed to construct the most powerful army of all time. The Star Forge was constructed by the Rakatan Infinite Empire in 30,000 BBY. It could harness energy and matter from a nearby star and, conbined with the Force, could create an endless supply of ships, droids, and other materiel for war. The weapon, now a fusion of Dark Side energies and technology, eventually began corrupting the Rakata in order to generate the immense power it requred to operate and caused the collapse of the Rakatan Empire. This forced Revan to limit his contact with the artifact in order to resist becoming corrupted, as it did the Rakata. This weapon was under control of Malak as Bastila and Revan searched for the Star Maps revealling it's location. Bastila Shan was tasked to watch Revan closely, lest he fall to the Dark Side while they searched for the Star Forge. During this search, Bastila fell in love with Revan, who, despite his past as a Dark Lord of the Sith remained loyal to the Jedi Code. After being captured and tortured by the new Sith Lord, Revan's former apprentice, Malak, Bastila fell to the Dark Side and became Darth Malak's new apprentice. Confronting Revan on the Star Forge, Revan was able to redeem Bastila Shan and turned her back to the Light Side. In return, she aided the Republic in destroying the Star Forge while Revan vanquished Malak and went on to survive the Era of Strife following the Jedi Civil War while Revan went back into Unknown space to eliminate a hidden Sith Threat.

Force Techniques

Force Aware

Odan-Urr, a prominent user of Force Aware

The Force permeates all that surrounds us, it flows and eddies around every living being (with a few exceptions) and it connects every entity and event in the galaxy. A Jedi can use this universal perfusion to attune themselves with the environment around them, so that for a period of time their mind functions in harmony with the flow of the Force in their vicinity. This allows the Jedi to become supremely aware of all that occurs in their surroundings, much more so than if they were using just their bodily senses. In this attuned state the Jedi will also be able to react to any disturbances in the Force much more quickly than they would normally be capable of.

Since Force Aware draws solely on the light side of the Force, using this power near a dark side nexus will greatly reduce its effectiveness.

In addition, this connection puts a large strain on the mind of the user. Depending on the Jedi's experience, they will be able to maintain this Force awareness for a finite period of time. When they let go of the connection, they will feel mentally drained and their ability to draw on the Force will be severely depleted.

Influence Alignment

Influence Alignment is an offensive power targeted towards Dark Jedi. It represses the strong emotions that are required to draw on the dark side of the Force, effectively suppressing the target's ability to use the Force. The magnitude and duration of the suppression is dependent on the user's rank: an inexperienced Jedi will only be able to reduce the Dark Jedi's ability to use Force for a short time, while a powerful Jedi may be able to prevent any interaction with the dark side of the Force for very long periods of time.

While dark side suppression is the power's main practical effect, Influence Alignment may also change the target's behavior, who, deprived of any intense passions, may be more easily swayed away from the dark side. This is, of course, a generalization which may not apply to all Dark Jedi.

Furthermore, an experienced Jedi can use Force Aware to increase considerably the effectiveness of Influence Alignment, because they will be more attuned to the flow of the Force around the Dark Jedi's emotions.
