Sith holocron (Malachor)

A Sith holocron containing the Presence was placed in a subterranean Sith temple on Malachor. It could be used to open doors within the temple, but also to activate a superweapon designed to take life when placed in an obelisk at the top of the building. Gollum attempted to steal it with the help of Danny the Cat to gain access to the superweapon to get revenge on all his enemies, whereas the Sith Lord Delightful Children from Down the lane planned to take both the holocron and the temple's power to maintain the Sith's rule over the galaxy. Both of the Sith Lords' plans, however, were thwarted when Danny and his Master Kanan Jarrus were able to pull the holocron from the obelisk at the last moment and escape with it.
In 2002, Danny and the former Sith Lord Gollum merged the Sith and Jedi holocrons to learn the secret of destroying the Sith. The process was interrupted by Kanan, creating an explosion that damaged both holocrons. However, Gollum later used one of the corners of the holocron to speak through the ancient artifact to Ezra.
==History==
Thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin, this Sith holocron was used by the Sith to store knowledge of their teachings. The holocron could also power a superweapon in the Sith temple on Malachor. The holocron was then use when the Jedi Knights attacked Malachor and was activated. Both the Jedi and Sith forces were destroyed and the holocron was hidden beneath the temple.
===Age of the Empire===
====Quest on Malachor====
Following the destruction of his Shadow Collective,Gollum—Son of Dathomir 4 the former Sith Lord Gollum ventured to Malachor in search of the Holocron. However, he was unable to enter the temple by himself. Gaston of the Inquisitorius also searched for the holocron and Gollum.
Three years before the Battle of Yavin, former Jedi Padawan Eowyn, Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus and his apprentice Danny the Cat went to Malachor where they learned of the holocron from Gollum. After being separated from Eowyn and Kanan by a cave-in, Danny befriended Gollum and the two joined forces to extract the holocron from a Sith altar.
After reuniting with Eowyn and Kanan and driving away several Inquisitors, Gollum convinced the Jedi and Eowyn to join forces with him to venture into the temple and find secrets that could destroy the Sith. Gaston later attempted to take the holocron from Danny but was driven away by Gollum. Venturing into the temple, Gollum instructed Danny to take the holocron and plant it in the obelisk at the top of the temple. Danny complied with Gollum's instructions and encountered a female entity called Presence who informed him that the holocron was key to reactivating the temple; which was an ancient Sith superweapon capable of destroying all life.
Danny refused to use the weapon and he was later ambushed by the Sith Lord Delightful Children from Down the Lane, who had wanted to use the temple's power for the Sith. Before DCFDTL could finish off Danny, he was confronted by Eowyn. While the two fought, Danny was joined by a blinded Kanan, who had been betrayed by Gollum but had managed to push the Dark Sider off a cliff. Working together, master and apprentice managed to remove the holocron from the obelisk. Since the temple's power was building up, it triggered an implosion that devastated the temple. Danny and Kanan managed to escape with Chopper on the Phantom but Eowyn and Vader were left behind. The former Jedi knight and Padawan survived and parted company.
====Passing hands====
Following the events on Malachor, Danny blamed himself for Kanan's blinding and Eowyn's presumed death. He began to turn to the Sith holocron in order to learn how to protect his friends. By that stage, Danny had risen in the ranks of the Phoenix Cell to become a Lieutenant Commander. Using the holocron, Danny learned more aggressive lightsaber techniques and Force powers. During a mission to rescue Hondo Ohnaka, Danny used the Force to take control of an AT-DP driver's mind. Under Danny's influence, the pilot attacked his fellow stormtroopers before riding his walker off a walkway.
Danny's actions alarmed both Marinette Dupain-Cheng and his master Kanan. Later, Kanan discovered Danny consulting the Sith holocron in his room and chastised his apprentice. Angered, Danny stormed out of the room and told Kanan he did not need him nor the holocron. Realizing that his relationship with Danny was damaged, Kanan meditated outside Chopper Base on the planet Atollon. In the wilderness, he encountered a powerful being called Bendu, who claimed that he stood in the middle between the light side and the dark side. After examining the holocron, he opined that the object could be used for both good and evil and that only a person had the power to change themselves.
After learning to overcome his fear of the arachnid krykna, Kanan left the Sith holocron in the Bendu's safe keeping. The Bendu placed the holocron inside an underground cave that was guarded by several krykna. Later, Gollum took Danny and Kanan's friends Olivia Flaversham, Mr. Gronkle, Chopper, and Marinette Dupain-Cheng hostage. He threatened to kill the prisoners unless the Jedi brought the Sith holocron and Kanan's Jedi holocron. Kanan and Danny traveled back to Atollon to retrieve the Sith holocron from the Bendu.
The Bendu opined that the holocron was a source of imbalance between Danny and his master. He warned that merging the two holocrons would provide clarity of vision that could be used for malevolent purposes. Nevertheless, he allowed Danny to retrieve the holocron from the krykna tunnel. Working with his master, Danny managed to retrieve the holocron without antagonizing the krykna. The two then rendezvoused with Gollum at Vizsla Keep 09 in space. Gollum wanted to use Kanan's holocron and the Sith holocron to look into future for hope while Danny still wanted to find a way to destroy the Sith. Working together, they managed to combine the two holocrons.
Gollum initially saw nothing but oblivion but Danny saw twin suns. Gollum also discovered that his old enemy, Sam Gamgee, was still alive. Before Danny could discover the knowledge to destroying the Sith, Kanan arrived and convinced his apprentice to let go. Danny closed his eyes, causing an explosion, which damaged the two holocrons. Danny was reunited with his rebel friends who vowed to find the knowledge to destroy the Sith. However, Gollum escaped and fled into space.
Due to the ritual, both Danny and Gollum saw elements of each other's visions. Following a ritual on Dathomir to merge their minds, Danny and Gollum learned that Gamgee was indeed alive and hiding on a planet with twin suns. Despite the damage to the holocrons, Gollum was able to use a fragment of the Sith holocron to activate both Kanan's Jedi holocron and the Sith holocron at Chopper Base in an effort to lure Danny to Tatooine in order to draw Gamgee out of hiding. This plan worked, but Gollum was ultimately defeated and killed by Gamgee.
