Was not sure if we had a neat pic of the holocron yet so what the hell 
“The holocron is overflowing with advice! Listen and look…”
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.
A holocron enables a character to emulate certain prerequisites for the purposes of selecting feats, talents, and prestige classes. When a holocron is created it gains a list of qualities drawn from the traits of its creator: Traditions and Talents. However, some holocron creators may stipulate their own prerequisites to grant access to their abilities. These prerequisites can take the form of both mechanical and narrative limitations and should be used by the game master to encourage and guide a character using a holocron. Others may choose not to imprint a specific ability onto a holocron, either to protect that knowledge or inspire loyalty from their student.
When a character in possession of a holocron may choose a new talent he may choose from the holocron’s list of talents, in addition to those provided by his class. Additionally, he may use the Tradition of the holocron to qualify for any Talents, Feats, Force Powers, or Prestige Classes as though he himself were a member of that tradition.
A character using a holocron to emulate the tradition prerequisites of a talent or to choose a talent not of his own class must still meet all other requirements. To choose a talent associated with a Prestige Class, an character using a holocron must also meet the Prestige Class prerequisites.
