It can be assumed that the Ur-Quan still possess Excruciator technology. Would they use them on their battle tralls (at least on the fighter pilots)?

Don't mess with the US.

why would they?
the reason for the Excruciators was to release them from the dynarri. all it does is stimulate the pain centers.
and in SC3 the ur-quan said it would kill a human.

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

Yeah, but they said THEY'D kill a human (you). They were wrong that time too.

It doesn't seem to me like being in extreme pain is a good thing for a fighter pilot that requires skill and concentration.
Anyway, the excruciators probably weren't real complicated devices... it's like they say in SC3, jabbing themselves with a sharp object got the job done too.

Well, I only remember them describing the excruciators in SC3, but I could be wrong.

Did they ever describe what the excruciators actually did besides cause intense pain. It seems to me that it would be more practical that the device give electric shocks or something. That way no permanent damage would be done (except psychological). Also you wouldn't have to move the thing after it tore through to the bone like if it were a stabbing device.

If it helps, Mr. Kohr-Ah mentions in SC2 after "the words"...
For thousands of years, we were unthinking slaves to the Dnyarri. Like the five other surviving races of the old Milieu, we had no choice. The Dnyarri's compulsion was too strong to resist. But the Dnyarri were not satisfied with their slave races. The Yuli and the Drall were inferior, they decided
so they instructed us to incinerate their worlds, and we did.
The Dnyarri had a special liking for us Ur-Quan so they began to tinker with our genes... to improve us, their favored slaves.
Their efforts split the Ur-Quan into two sub-races. The Green Ur-Quan, effete scientists and bureaucrats and the Black Ur-Quan, their Effectuators, the builders, the fighters, the doers.
The Kohr-Ah are the Black Ur-Quan. The Kzer-Za are the Green. I grow tired of talking, alien, and your time grows short. I will continue for but a moment longer.
When we discovered that intense pain could block the Dnyarri's mental powers we were able to destroy them, but it took years. Can you imagine, alien, what it must have been like to wear an excruciator? To live in endless screaming pain for months on end? No you cannot.
The Melnorme also mentions this in SC2 as part of "ancient history" that you can buy from him:
As they gained longer and longer periods of control, the Ur-Quan developed new tools and weapons to destroy their evil masters. The most gruesome of these devices was the Excruciator a mechanism which was inserted directly into the brain, and generated a constant stream of agony.

There was also some mention somewhere about them being inserted directly into the brain. Neat.
I need one of those for my little brother. Agonizer booths are for pussies.
