Chronicle ship

Chronicle ships, also known as holocron ships or mobile holocron vaults, were ancient Jedi starships that were used to store holocrons, talismans, and other Force-related artifacts away from the surface of any planet. There was no particular design for chronicle ships, though most were constructed in a similar manner to the ships of the Pius Dea Crusades era. Nearly all chronicle ships were operated by artificial intelligence programs, though some were known to be piloted by a single Jedi. Leor Hal, for example, lived alone aboard a chronicle ship that drifted throughout Wild Space before it crashed onto a frozen planetoid, forcing him to abandon the craft and leaving the holocron stored aboard behind. Vessels of this nature were phased out by the time of the New Sith Wars, though many chronicle ships continued to drift throughout remote space as they had done for thousands of years. Chronicle ships were a desired target for pirates and treasure hunters, though coming across one was considered exceptionally rare. The Crucible spent several centuries traveling as a chronicle ship before it was repurposed as a training vessel for some Jedi initiates.
