This holocron, a Sith holocron in nature, was brought into existence by the Sith known as Elcho Kressh circa the time that the Great Hyperspace War occurred. Within this device, Kressh meticulously laid out a strategy he had put into motion to build an army through the forging of partnerships with both mercenaries and pirates. Millennia afterward, specifically during the era of the Republic Dark Age, the Human Sith Lord named Mandragall came across this holocron. Ultimately, Mandragall rose to become the sovereign of a sector of space, but he realized he lacked the necessary military strength to protect his holdings from competing Sith Lords. Consequently, he turned to Kressh's holocron for guidance, adhering strictly to Kressh's outlined method for assembling a force of independent agents.
