GENERAL INFORMATION
- Holocron Name: Akela Ru's Chaos Codex
- Alignment: Light Side (with a mischievous twist, promoting joy, creativity, and chaos-resistant resilience).
- Origin: Created by Akela Ru, a Togruta Jedi Padawan, during her time at Silver Rest on Voss. Inspired by her discovery of Zak Dymo's War Journal, she crafted this holocron to store her "strategies for galactic fun" and unconventional Jedi wisdom.
- Affiliation: Currently unclaimed, last known to be hidden in the Silver Rest kitchens, inside a cookie jar labeled "Definitely Not a Holocron." Previously affiliated with Akela Ru and loosely with the Jedi Order at Silver Rest.
- Gatekeeper: The gatekeeper is a holographic projection of Akela Ru, appearing as a 5-year-old Togruta with orange skin, white facial markings, and blue-striped lekku. She wears her signature sleeveless dark blue-gray tunic, gray skirt, dark pants, silver belt, and forearm guards. Her personality is exuberant, mischievous, and disarmingly charming, often giggling mid-sentence and offering "snack-based wisdom." She challenges users with riddles involving glitter, cookies, or pillow forts, and may "prank" unworthy users by projecting sparkles or playing nursery rhymes.
- Description: A small, cube-shaped holocron with a silver and blue casing, adorned with biodegradable glitter and googly eyes. It serves as a repository of Akela's prank strategies, unconventional Force techniques, and philosophies on spreading joy, meant to inspire Jedi to think creatively and resist boredom.
DEFENSES
- Accessibility: The holocron activates only for those who pass the gatekeeper's "Test of Fun," requiring the user to solve a riddle (e.g., "What's sparkly, sticky, and defeats a Sith Lord?") or perform a playful act (e.g., eating a cookie without using hands). Force sensitivity is not strictly required, but a "fun vibe" is mandatory, as judged by the gatekeeper.
- Security:The holocron is booby-trapped with non-lethal pranks:
- If deemed unworthy, the gatekeeper projects a cloud of biodegradable glitter that clings to the user for days.
- Incorrect riddle answers trigger a loud kazoo rendition of a nursery rhyme, alerting nearby Jedi or Sith.
- The casing is coated in a harmless, sticky substance that smells faintly of gummy bears, discouraging casual handling.
CONTENT INFORMATION
The holocron contains:- Force Powers:
- Stink Bomb Telekinesis: A technique to levitate and detonate small, odor-based projectiles using the Force, as demonstrated in the "Stink Bomb Siege of 1029" where Master Xantha's sauna was disrupted.
- Puppy-Eye Parry: A mind trick variant that disarms opponents through overwhelming adorableness, requiring precise emotional projection; effective in recruiting allies like Mandalorians or even Sith.
- Nap-Time Nullifier: A Force-enhanced kazoo blast to disrupt meditation or sleep, boosting chaos output and used to counter "adult logic" in various incidents.
- Glitter Storm Projection: A Force illusion that creates a swarm of sparkling particles to distract or disorient enemies, inspired by the Glitter Wars and the Great Glitter Bombing od

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Creation: Akela Ru created the Chaos Codex at age 8, during the height of her "Glitter Wars" at Silver Rest, in the ninth month of the 900th year After the Battle of Yavin (ABY). Inspired by finding Zak Dymo's War Journal in the temple archives, she decided to preserve her own legacy as a guide for future "fun Jedi." Using scavenged parts from training remotes and a stolen Jedi holocron casing, she infused it with her Force essence and prank expertise, guided by her belief that "the Force is sparklier than adults think."Purpose: The holocron was designed to teach young Jedi (and anyone with a sense of humor) how to use creativity, mischief, and snacks to overcome challenges, resist the Dark Side's gloom, and make the galaxy "less boring." Akela saw it as her "ultimate prank" to ensure her chaotic legacy outlived her.
Key Events:
- Age 5 (Discovery and Early Pranks): Akela found Zak Dymo's War Journal, sparking her prank career and the idea for the holocron. Her first glitter-bombing of the meditation hall tested its concept. This era included Operation: Golden Ticket, infiltrating the Bendu Candy Factory with crayon schematics, escaping nap time, crossing the lava courtyard on a cleaning droid, and recruiting Mandalorian Allya (the "Giant Chocolate Robot Lady") via bribery for ship theft. Incidents involved casualties like plush toy High Lord Fluffy and revenge via hair removal cream and IcyHot ambushes.
- Age 6 (Cookie Conspiracy): The holocron's first recorded lesson was her cookie heist, liberating 42 cookies from Jedi Master stashes and leaving a fake edict from the "Snack Council." Tactics included stuffed animals as diversionary troops, establishing the "No Dessert Left Behind" policy.
- Age 7 (Pillow Fort Uprising): Akela constructed a fortress from stolen robes and plushies, declaring it a "No Naptime Zone" with candy taxes. The siege involved brick booby traps, toy bows firing gummy worms, and offering Master Harrison honorary citizenship. This led to collapsed chambers and repurposed droids.
- Age 8 (Glitter Wars and Sparkle Justice): The holocron gained its glittery casing and prank defenses after Akela's campaign turned Silver Rest into a sparkly warzone, modifying training remotes for "Tactical Sparkle Storm." Operation: Sparkle Justice included the Great Glitter Bombing, cookie jailbreaks with butter knives, and custom Jedi Trials testing courage, wisdom, and coolness. Master Xantha shimmered permanently, and glitter became "a core part of the Force."
- Age 9 (Sith Academy Infiltration): Akela added lessons from her Dromund Kaas adventure, "liberating" artifacts with googly eyes and redecorating holocrons. The Great Hall Cookie Heist targeted Darth Baras' stash, with ransom notes and lightsaber "disco mode" modifications playing Glitch music. Sith holocrons played nursery rhymes, and ghosts sang them endlessly.
- Age 10 (Mandalorian Alliance): Her treaty with Clan Ski mandated cookie breaks in battles, encoded as diplomatic strategy. She was knighted as "The Alor's Tiny Overlord" with a glitter crown.
- Age 11 (Jedi Trials - Akela Edition): Custom trials included eating spicy noodles, debating glow sticks, and detecting "boomers" via sighs. Resulted in self-appointed Grandmaster of Fun title. Additional pranks like the Great Pudding Coup (refectory mutiny), Stink Bomb Siege (Master Xantha's sauna), Who Let the Tookas Into the Council Chamber, the Great Juice Box Heist, the Unauthorized Zoo (with tookas, convor, and mynock), the Great Juice Box Mutiny, and the Illegal Nap-Time Rebellion (pillow cannons and stuffed animal cavalry).
- Age 12 (Galactic Tour): Spreading chaos to Voss, Vaynai, and Nar Shaddaa, teaching hide-and-seek to mystics, winning starring contests with miraluka, liberating seashells, and getting banned from casinos. Incorporated the Great Sith Juice Box Rebellion and the Unauthorized Sith Puppet Show (Darth Baras as grumpy cupcake).
- Age 13 (Coronation and Disappearance): Final edict abolishing bedtimes and mandating cookies. Akela hid the holocron in a Silver Rest cookie jar before vanishing toward the Unknown Regions on a convoy, leaving it for a worthy successor.
