- "Through this holocron, I have access to the long dead wisdom of Darth Andeddu. The wisdom and power of the Sith."
- ―Darth Tyranus[src]
Darth Andeddu's holocron was a Sith holocron made by Darth Andeddu. Lost in the annals of Sith history for many years, his Sith holocron was first discovered by Darth Bane and then was recovered by Quinlan Vos and Tol Skorr sixteen months after the Battle of Geonosis as they attempted to gain favor with Count Dooku.
After extracting the knowledge stored in the holocron, Dooku disassembled the artifact and removed a deep red lightsaber crystal that had been used in Darth Andeddu's lightsaber. Dooku gifted the ancient crystal to Vos and then ordered him to Coruscant to assassinate Senator Viento.
By 137 ABY, the holocron had fallen into the hands of Darth Krayt, Dark Lord of the Sith and founder of the One Sith. Lord Krayt activated the holocron in order to learn how Andeddu had been able to cheat death, but the gatekeeper refused to counsel the "pretender".
Darth Wyyrlok took the holocron to Andeddu's true tomb, located within a keep on the planet Prakith searching for a way to cure Darth Krayt. There, it was revealed that Andeddu's holocron was unlike regular holocrons. Not only did the holocron contain Andeddu's full intellect (possibly his spirit), but was also able to manipulate the Force.
After placed near Andeddu's decayed remains, the holocron was able to siphon off the life force energy of Gerlun, a member of a Sith cult calling itself The Malevolence. The holocron used Gerlun's lifeforce to reanimate Andeddu's body. Wyyrlok's own illusions made loose control of the reanimated body. The Force-empowered intellect was either destroyed or retreated back into the holocron.
