Trioculus' lightning device
The Galactic Empire warlord Trioculus employed a lightning device to mimic the power of Force lightning. This cybernetic technology was placed within Trioculus's body by his personal medical droid, MD-5. He used it to persuade a group of Imperial officers that he was the offspring of Palpatine, the deceased Galactic Emperor. Nevertheless, the warlord was compelled to cease using the implant rapidly, as the electricity held the potential to be fatal.
