The command sector's area ran along the Death Star II's equatorial trench. It consisted of hangars, an armory, a conference room, access to the shafts of one of the superlaser's tributary laser streams, and control stations for the station's tractor beam along with the sector's weapons systems. The hangars were used to dock TIE fighters and Lambda-class T-4a shuttles. The command sector also had several Super Blaster 920 laser cannons and "Tulip" style Imperial work stations. Its southern counterpart was Command Sector South.
The command sector was constructed between 0 and 4 ABY, and was located along the Death Star II's equatorial trench. It was destroyed during the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, when the Alliance to Restore the Republic attacked the Death Star II's main reactor and caused it to explode, destroying the entire battlestation.
Command Sector North appears as a map for Galactic Assault, Heroes vs. Villains, Hero Showdown, Supremacy, Co-Op Missions, Blast, Instant Action, and Arcade in Star Wars Battlefront II. During the Battle of Endor, a Rebel Alliance CR90 corvette crash-landed in Command Sector North. After the crash, the surviving Rebel passengers led by Major Shin engaged in a skirmish with Imperial forces under the command of Colonel Brenna. The first phase of the game involves the Rebels overriding the battlestation's tractor beam generator and control stations. The second phase then includes shutting down the Death Star II's main weapons and superlaser controls, while the third phase consists of overriding controls to a hangar and its shuttle bay elevator in order to secure a shuttle to escape with. The Imperial players are tasked with stopping the Rebels while they attempt to take these objectives. If the Rebels win, they are shown flying away in a Lambda-class shuttle while the Death Star explodes behind them. If the Imperials win, they are shown capturing the Rebels and securing the command sector.
In Battlefront II, Command Sector North is shown to be along the equatorial trench, however, in the Star Wars: Card Trader app, it is shown on the Death Star II blue prints to be towards the top of battlestation.
