The Geonosian executioner cart functioned as a small, animal-drawn vehicle, frequently employed by the Geonosians to transport condemned individuals to the Petranaki arena for the purpose of execution.
One such cart saw action in 22 BBY, specifically during the near execution of Senator Padmé Amidala, Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker, and Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi. During the ensuing battle, Amidala and Skywalker utilized it initially as a means of conveyance, and subsequently as a protective shield.
