Jarik Shan's holocron

## Jarik's holocron

This **holocron** once belonged to the ancient Jedi Knight Revan during the days of the Old Republic, and beyond that made its way down his bloodline and into the ownership of Jedi Grand Master Satele Shan. Over a thousand generations later it would also find its way into the ownership of Jarik Shan, who would continue to maintain possession of it after the rise of the Galactic Empire.

## **History**

### **Old Republic Era**

At some point before his disappearance from the galaxy, the Jedi Knight Revan was the owner of this holocron. Within it, Revan recorded information he deemed important to remember, including his deadly encounter with the ancient and powerful being known as Oryx.

Approximately three hundred years after the disappearance of Revan, the holocron would be passed down into the hands of Satele Shan, who used it extensively. In the year 3643 BBY, Satele was guided by the holocron to the Lothal Jedi Temple with her son Theron Shan and their ally Bumblebee—a young Autobot soldier who crash landed on Tython. This turned out to be a trap, however, as Sith Lord Darth Sidious interacted with the holocron by reaching through time and space, using the World Between Worlds as a conduit, in order to prevent the birth of Jarik Shan by killing his ancestors. This attempt would ultimately be thwarted as Jarik Shan himself came to their aid, ironically guided by the same holocron in his own time period. At some point in her life, Satele discovered the hidden location of Mandalore's Mask and recorded it in the holocron.

### **Clone Wars Era**

During the Clone Wars, Jarik would come into possession of this holocron, unaware of the fact that it once belonged to his ancestors, who he also did not know about until the final months of the war. After the Great Jedi Purge enacted by Darth Sidious, Jarik would return to the Jedi Temple with Jedi Masters Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi in order to leave a warning for all Jedi who survived the initial purge. Whilst at the Temple, Jarik reacquired his holocron from his quarters, maintaining his possession of it.

### **Age of the Empire**

Jarik Shan maintained possession of this holocron during the reign of the Galactic Empire, using it on various occasions. In the year 3 BBY, he would be guided by the holocron and the Force spirit of Satele to the Lothal Jedi Temple, in order to enter the World Between Worlds to prevent Darth Sidious from altering the timeline—through the act of killing Theron Shan. A year later, Jarik would combine his holocron with Darth Traya's Sith holocron—with the help of his adopted daughter Mara Jade—in order to commune with the Keeper, a wraith trapped in a state of purgatory who advises individuals that sought the Soul Stone.

Jarik would also use the holocron in to discover the hidden location of Mandalore's Mask, sharing this information with his blood relatives in the Mandalorian Clan Ordo, in order to mend generations of hatred between Mandalore and the Shan family.
