The torture wheel functioned as a gyroscopic holding cell for prisoners. Its construction allowed for the accommodation of a single individual. Functioning as a torture implement, the device prioritized inflicting suffering over the well-being of those confined within, featuring a rotational mechanism engineered to induce unease. Furthermore, the device's primary structure facilitated relocation via rolling.
In the year 1032 BBY, the Bothan intelligence operative Narsk Ka'hane experienced confinement within this apparatus while imprisoned within the Daimanate.
