The Tedryn Holocron, or Bodo Baas's holocron, was an important Jedi Holocron created over four thousand years before the Battle of Yavin by Jedi Master Tedryn.

[edit] History
The Holocron was created over four thousand years prior to the Battle of Yavin, sometime before the Great Sith War, by Tedryn, then a Jedi Master. Vodo-Siosk Baas later inherited the Holocron and imparted it with his knowledge and memory, forming part of a long line of Jedi who would contribute to the Holocron.
Made from gems, covered in faint writing, warm to the touch and glowing with a faint blue light, the Holocron was later inherited by Bodo Baas, a descendant of Vodo-Siosk. Bodo became the Holocron's Gatekeeper, leaving behind his knowledge, stories, and memories; however, once a user had gained enough experience, he or she could access the recordings of the other Masters, including Vodo-Siosk and Tedryn. Around 300 BBY, it was believed to have gone missing.
During the Great Jedi Purge, Emperor Palpatine executed Jedi Master Ashka Boda and captured the holocron of Bodo Baas. Palpatine possibly used the secrets in the holocron to cheat death with the dark side and cloning technology, and he recorded some of the holocron's secrets in his Book of Anger.
In 10 ABY, Leia Organa Solo found the holocron when she confronted the reborn Emperor on Byss. When Leia escaped, leaving Luke Skywalker to finish off the clone, she activated the holocron on board the Millennium Falcon and listened to Bodo's version of the downfall of Ulic Qel-Droma. Later she used the holocron again to ask about Luke's future, but Bodo revealed that it was too cloaked in mists and shadows to tell.
Later, Luke learned from the holocron that ancient Jedi artifacts were possibly located on Ossus. Before heading out with Kam Solusar to investigate, Kam also encountered the holocron. Rather unimpressed with the small cube, he was taken aback when it sensed him and activated. The image of Baas gave some cryptic wisdom, and instructed Kam and his fellow Jedi to have patience.
The Holocron was often referred to as Bodo Baas's holocron, but the New Jedi Order officially called it Tedryn's Holocron to avoid confusion over Vodo-Siosk Baas and Bodo Baas, and also to honor their predecessor.
It became known as one of the greatest Jedi Artifacts of the Modern Era, but was destroyed in 11 ABY by the resurrected spirit of Exar Kun on Yavin 4. Although it was destroyed, transcripts and copied data were kept and maintained by Tionne Solusar and saved at the new Jedi library on Ossus. [1]
