The Noetikon of Science, a cherished Jedi artifact belonging to the Jedi Order, held significant importance by the era of the Great Galactic War. Functioning as one of several Noetikons, it was a Holocron-like device, containing the imprinted knowledge, wisdom, and personalities of the Order's most esteemed Jedi Masters. Included within its vast data was a comprehensive compendium of all recognized biological, chemical, and technological ailments. The minds of Masters Tharis Orne, Arca Jeth, and Vandar Tokare were embedded within the Noetikon, with the latter two frequently engaging in debates regarding scientific principles. These intense discussions often proved irritating for those who activated the Noetikon, culminating in the last user deactivating it to cease the ongoing dispute between Masters Jeth and Tokare.
It was kept within the Jedi Temple located on Coruscant until the outbreak of the Great Galactic War. During the Sacking of Coruscant, the temple suffered destruction; this resulted in the Noetikons being lost. By the time of the Cold War, the Noetikon had fallen into the possession of Gand scavengers. Around this time, Master Yuon Par was afflicted by a mysterious Force-related disease, prompting an unnamed Jedi Consular to embark on a mission to recover the Noetikons in hopes of discovering a remedy.
This Jedi successfully accessed the Noetikon of Science, and its three Jedi Masters delved into their extensive knowledge reserves. Nevertheless, they were unable to diagnose the illness or offer a cure. Instead, they advised the Consular to seek out the Noetikon of Light in pursuit of a potential solution.
