Hangar 85G, active during the Galactic Civil War, represented a hangar bay situated within the first Death Star. This particular hangar's location was near the battle station's Superlaser Fire Control Room, Detention Block 2180, and also Hangar 84G.
The location known as Hangar 85G turned into a site of conflict when several Rebel captives escaped from their holding cells on the Death Star, aiming to get away from the battle station. A collection of individuals trying to escape, under the leadership of a Jedi, forcefully entered Hangar 85G, seizing control of a transport. Nevertheless, the stormtroopers belonging to the 501st Legion put down the prison break, eliminating the escapees, including the Jedi. The security of Hangar 85G was re-established, and the danger was eliminated.
During the Battle of Yavin, Hangar 85G suffered destruction. It was destroyed when the Death Star itself exploded.
