Holocron tap

Holocron taps, also known as cronotaps, were devices used to access holocrons without the use of the Force. The first cronotaps were constructed by Jedi librarians in order to access Sith holocrons without needing to tap into the Dark Side, though this technology was later often used by criminals to access captured or black market-purchased holocrons. A Mandalorian Supercommando named Naastau owned several cronotaps, which he used to access holocrons that were captured from Jedi starships and ancient abandoned enclaves. A similar device was the holocron key or cronokey, which was essentially a smaller version of the cronotap.
