A safety cage functioned as an enclosed, see-through container, typically moved by a hoist, that facilitated the transfer of personnel from a starship's hangar bay to the primary section of the spacecraft. Notably, Victory-class Star Destroyers utilized these cages within the Corporate Sector Authority.
In one particular instance, Han Solo managed to ensnare a safety cage on the front mandibles of the Millennium Falcon, effectively holding Odumin and Fiolla as hostages. This occurred following the Corporate Sector's attempt to confiscate his ship and imprison him. The destroyer that was playing host to the cage, restricted from firing on the smuggler's ship due to the risk of harming the two CSA officials, then entered into negotiations with Solo, ultimately leading to advantageous conditions for the Corellian.
