Attichitcuk was known to have used the device to aid in training for flight of the Oevvaor jet catamaran during the Clone Wars. Utilizing its virtual-reality capabilities, he was able to hone his skills in order to participate in battle at his advanced age. This training proved useful at the Battle of Kashyyyk.

He also used the device as entertainment. He viewed holograms of Human girls singing and dancing on the machine. One such girl he viewed was Mermeia in 1 ABY.
