A Security Force hangar belonging to the Corellian Security Force
Hangars, which are also referred to as hangar bays, hang-bays, launch bays, or docking bays, served as locations where vehicles could be launched, landed, repaired, and refueled. These areas could be found on the surfaces of numerous planets. Furthermore, certain starships and space stations were constructed with their own hangar bays to accommodate smaller vessels, such as snubfighters and shuttles. In instances where hangars opened directly into the vacuum of space, a magnetic shield provided a seal, with emergency airlocks available in the event of shield failure. It was common to find engineers and mechanics performing maintenance on vehicles scattered throughout these hangars. Astromech droids were also frequently present, either standing by their assigned ships or already inside, awaiting the commencement of loading or unloading operations.
