A magna-coil was a magnetic device which was present in the dome of the R-series astromech droid QT-KT. Circa 20–19 BBY,Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the events of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episodes "Tipping Points" and "Eminence" to 20 BBY and 19 BBY, respectively. establishes that the events of The Clone Wars episode "Secret Weapons," including the events on Aut-O's flagship, occur between these two episodes, thus placing the events of "Secret Weapons" between 20 BBY and 19 BBY. QT-KT used her magna-coil to attract multiple swarm mines in order for D-Squad to help retrieve a Separatist encryption module from the flagship of the tactical droid Aut-O. The magna-coil attracted the swarm mines, then they were safely placed into her dome. Later, the magna-coil was released out of her dome and also released the swarm mines, which then destroyed multiple battle droids.
