Tunqstoid steel was a type of grey steel. It was used to make the tiled floors of the Imperial Prison Complex on the moon Narkina 5. The floor was capable of being electrified, described as "going hot," which caused immense pain to the barefooted prisoners of the facility and could prove fatal.^[1] The floors were vulnerable to being shorted out when making contact with water.^[2]
