The Virgillian wheel lock represented an antiquated form of slugthrower manufactured by the Virgillians. The Virgillian Free Alignment utilized the wheelock during the Virgillian Civil War inside the confines of the Virgillia system, owing to their limited availability of blaster weaponry. Tessa Manchisco, a Captain, possessed considerable proficiency with this particular weapon.
This Virgillian wheel lock was initially referenced within The Truce at Bakura Sourcebook. This roleplaying guide, released in 1996 by West End Games for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, was authored by both Kathy Tyers and Eric S. Trautmann.
