Darth Bane's holocron

"Power is its own purpose. To share it is to dilute it. You delude yourself, pretender -- Your order will yet turn on itself and you."

- Gatekeeper of Darth Bane's holocron, to Darth Krayt



Darth Bane's holocron was a Sith holocron made by the Sith Lord Darth Bane. It was possibly the holocron that, according to Emperor Palpatine, was the only true holocron used by the Sith who adhered to Bane's Rule of Two.

By 137 ABY, the holocron had fallen into the hands of Darth Krayt, but the holocron's gatekeeper refused to help him because he had abolished the Rule of Two, an act that would cause the destruction of the Sith.

Though Darth Bane had removed the Orbalisk that plagued his body many years ago on Ambria, his holocron's gatekeeper was clad in the Crustacean armor which made his appearance more visually impressive and intimidating. Bane intended this to be a message to future Sith who would use his holocron: the power of the Dark Side requires one to make sacrifices. He also saw it as an advantage, should his holocron fall into Jedi hands while he is still alive, the Orbalisks covering his face and head made a sort of mask, keeping his face hidden.
