Holocron Vaults

The Holocron Vault was a secured chamber located in the Jedi Archives Library deep within the Coruscant Jedi Temple. It was here thet the Jedi Order stored its holocrons, in addition to the Holocron Chamber in the Tower of First Knowledge.

History
Around 89 BBY Padawan Lorian Nod infiltrated the library’s vault and stole the Dark Holocron for his own private viewing. The Jedi Council eventually uncovered Nod’s thief and returned the ancient Sith artifact to the vault and expelled Nod.

During the Clone Wars, Darth Sidious hired the Duros bounty hunter, Cad Bane, to infiltrate the Temple's holocron vault and steal a holocron. Requiring inside assistance, Bane had an accomplice with the ability to shapeshift take on the form of the deceased Jedi Master Ord Enisence to assist him from the Archives library. Bane was able to sneak through a ventilation shaft protected by several laser gates and use a small explosive to blast open an entrance to the vault. He proceeded to steal a holocron that could be used to access the list of potential future Jedi held on the Kyber memory crystal which was in the care of Jedi Master Bolla Ropal.

The advanced holocron technology within this chamber remained largely unscathed during the Raid on the Jedi Temple, no doubt due to Darth Sidious's plans to use their power to study Sith history.

Layout
Restricted to the twelve Jedi Masters with seats on the Jedi High Council, entrance to the chamber was gained through a single circular portal located in the library. With a Force-access control panel, only by application through the Force would the doors open.

A short, circular hallway led into a round room that glowed blue with the light of the artifacts stored in its walls. Stacked in rows along the curving walls, the vault's center was dominated by a pillar that also contained a great many holocrons.
