"Master Kassogtha, I really think the time has come for us to embrace a
new chapter in the history of the Jedi Order. Our physical archives, though rich in knowledge, have limitations. We face threats, both external and internal, that put this invaluable repository at risk. I'm proposing the creation of a digital repository that goes beyond the confines of a physical archive..."
― Master Romi Jade
The Archive Nexus, also referred to simply as the Jedi Archives, was the Jedi Order's digital repository of knowledge on Kiva, a vast and secure cloud-based server that stores the collective knowledge of the Jedi Order. This digital repository, serves as the modern equivalent of the Jedi archives, accessible to Jedi and scholars across the galaxy. Inside the Archive Nexus, incredible amounts of data are stored electronically and holographically, and it leverages advanced encryption and AI-driven indexing to organize and safeguard the wealth of knowledge, teachings, histories, and insights gathered by the Jedi. Instead of being present in a physical location, the server which is located on Kiva, allows users to access information remotely from anywhere through holo-terminals, immersive virtual reality environments, electro-tattoos, etc, whether it be for quickly storing and collecting knowledge, personal curiosity, studying for tests, or preparing for assignments.

STRENGTHS
To safeguard the Archive Nexus and prevent its destruction, unauthorized access by darksiders, and potential hacking attempts, a multi-layered security system has been implemented.
Archaic and Modern Encryption: The server utilizes cutting-edge jedi-centric encryption algorithms, making it virtually impossible to breach using conventional hacking techniques. The mixture of archaic and modern entanglement-based keys ensure data is secure in transit and at rest.
Holocron Guardians: Advanced AI-powered sentinels known as "Holocron Guardians" constantly monitor the server's digital environment. These guardians are programmed to identify any unusual patterns, unauthorized access attempts, or suspicious activity. They can autonomously neutralize threats and initiate countermeasures.
Force-sensitive Authentication: Jedi can access the server using their unique Force signatures, providing an extra layer of authentication. This ensures that only those attuned to the Light Side can interact with the data, preventing darksiders from gaining entry.
Astromech Defense Grid: The server is surrounded by a network of astromech droids equipped with advanced scanners and countermeasures. These droids can detect and respond to physical threats, such as attempts to physically breach the server's location.
Ethereal Warding: The server's physical location is shielded by ancient Jedi rituals, creating an ethereal barrier that repels dark side energies and prevents unauthorized individuals from entering the sacred space.
Cyber-Force Shielding: The Archive Nexus employs a cyber-force field that adapts to external threats. Any attempts to hack or infiltrate the server trigger an immediate response from the field, isolating and neutralizing the threat within a contained virtual environment.
Holocron Encryption: Each piece of data stored within the cloud is encrypted using a complex combination of physical and algorithmic encryption methods. This makes it nearly impossible for unauthorized users to decipher the information even if they manage to breach the system.
Constant Vigilance: A dedicated team of cybersecurity experts, composed of Jedi technology specialists, maintains a constant vigil over the server's security. They update defenses, review logs, and collaborate with the AI sentinels to counter any emerging threats.
Isolation from External Networks: The Nexus operates on a closed network, entirely isolated from external connections. This isolation prevents external hackers from accessing the server remotely, significantly reducing the risk of breaches.
Guardian Encryption Crystals: Certain key data and sensitive knowledge are stored within encrypted holocrons that require unique "Guardian Encryption Crystals" held only by the most trusted Jedi Masters. This adds an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access.
Decentralized Data Distribution: The repository is distributed across multiple secure servers, making it extremely challenging to target a single point of failure. Each server contains only fragments of the data, enhancing security.
Emergency Data Purge: In the event of an imminent breach or capture by darksiders, the server is equipped with an emergency data purge protocol. This protocol wipes out sensitive information to prevent its misuse.
These robust safeguards collectively create an impregnable fortress for the Nexus, safeguarding its knowledge and teachings from destruction, misuse, or compromise.
WEAKNESSES

Unintended Consequences of AI Decisions: The Holocron Guardians, while designed to protect, may make decisions that have unintended consequences, potentially putting the server at risk.
Cultural Shifts: Societal changes or shifts in the Jedi Code may lead to debates over the relevance of certain knowledge, potentially resulting in attempts to alter or erase historical records.
Overconfidence in Force-sensitive Authentication: Depending too heavily on Force-sensitive authentication may create a false sense of security, as powerful darksiders may find ways to manipulate or mimic Force signatures.
Force Storms: Powerful disturbances in the Force, such as Force storms or anomalies, could disrupt the server's operations, leading to temporary outages or data corruption.
Addressing these potential risks requires ongoing vigilance, continuous system upgrades, and collaboration among the Jedi Order and experts in various fields to ensure the resilience and security of the Archive Nexus..
DESCRIPTION
"The Force has given me the name Kiva...A desolate world, once vibrant and full of life, it
became the casualty of an Imperial experiment in creating weapons of mass destruction. Its loss
was overshadowed in the annals of history by the destruction of Alderaan."
― Master Kassogtha Cthylla
The Archive Nexus leverages advanced encryption and AI-driven indexing to organize and safeguard the wealth of knowledge, teachings, histories, and insights gathered by the Jedi. Users can access information through holo-terminals, immersive virtual reality environments, or even by using the Force to interact with the data directly. It transcends physical limitations, making the Jedi archives available to anyone with authorized access. It incorporates an intuitive interface that supports various species and languages, allowing users to search, study, and contribute to the repository. Ancient texts, training materials, and personal journals of Jedi Masters are all stored within this digital realm, fostering continuous learning and collaboration.
Jedi Master Romi Jade came up with this concept as a response to the raiding and destruction of physical Jedi-centric locations across the galaxy. She recognized that, when it came to the process of collecting and disseminating information and lore specifically, that there needed to be strides made in that realm to protect it and prevent the continuous loss of Jedi history and teachings. She approached New Jedi Order Councilor and Chief Librarian
Kassogtha Cthylla
with the concept, and the two of them further developed the idea, with Master Cthylla suggesting the location of the planet -- Kiva, a uninhabited and isolated world with a dark history

Jade worked with the Jedi Artisans to select construction materials, and develop the build out. She commissioned as well, while the Nexus was being built on Kiva, a copy and back up that would be stored in a safe house on Nar Shaddaa. It is known that the over abundance of life on Nar Shaddaa, fueled by greed, desperation, anger and many other things, masks individuals ability to pin point or sense specifically through the Force.
By pioneering and spearheading a project like this, Jade and Cthylla promoted the coordination and collaboration of multiple Jedi, and aimed to foster unity and accessibility among the Order. The complexity of the Nexus' deployment encouraged precision and accuracy in Jedi collecting and recalling knowledge, and sharing insights and strengths.
By tapping into ancient mysticism while embracing modern strategies, the Archive Nexus would serve as a testament to the Order's adaptability and resilience, ensuring that the Jedi's commitment to safeguarding peace and documenting history endured.
