| == Holocrons in JK series ==
| |
| In [[Jedi Outcast]] video game most of the Holocrons represent small boxes with a symbol for each Force power available in the game, which include [[Force Speed]], [[Force Jump]], [[Force Pull]] and [[Force Push]] as standard (neutral) powers, and [[Force Heal]], [[Jedi Mindtrick|Force Persuade]] for the [[Light-Side|Light Side]]. The abilities those of a [[Dark-Side|Dark Side]] users are also available in game, like [[Force Grip]] and [[Force Lightning]]. In addition to these the Multiplayer offers additional powers, not included in Single Player campaign: [[Force Seeing]], [[Force Protect]], [[Force Absorb]], [[Force Drain]] and [[Dark Rage]].

| These were later reintroduced in the Single Player campaign of [[Jedi Academy]], though instead of holocrons, gained through a variety of Jedi trials, Players are offered to choose the powers from a special menu before taking a mission. Holocrons still remain in Multiplayer game modes though.

| | |
| The predecessors of the JO/JA games such as Dark Forces and Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight offer no holocrons to the Player, as the first game is about a Rebel agent Kyle Katarn long before he found his potential as a [[Jedi Knight]], and the sequel allows the Players to acquire the powers through the points they receive after completing a mission.

| A Jedi Holocron, referenced by one of the [[Rebel trooper|New Republic troopers]] in DF II: JK add-on [[Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith]] as the "Jedi Artifact", was a relic stolen by the [[Kaerobani]] pirates, which attacked the Corellian corvette during one of the missions. The item was later reclaimed by [[Mara Jade]] from a base on [[Rathalay]].

| == In Star Wars ==
| |
| Holocrons made their first appearance in [[Expanded Universe]] stories of the Dark Empire comic books in 1991-1992. Since then the popular Jedi (and Sith) artifact has appeared in multiple Star Wars stories, such as [[Knights of the Old Republic]] and [[The Force Unleashed]], usually providing the owner with knowledge on the Force, history or material on acquiring certain skills. The latest holocrons to appear in Star Wars are the ones seen in [[The Clone Wars animated series|The Clone Wars]] and the plot episode of the [[Rebels series]].
