Hangar 718

Hangar 718 was a hangar at Starkiller Base, the First Order's superweapon built into the planet Ilum. In 34 ABY, sensors at the hangar were triggered during the scavenger Rey's attempted escape from the base. A First Order stormtrooper notified First Order leader Kylo Ren of the alert and that the area was being searched.

Later, an officer informed Ren that Rey was not found in the hangar but that all stormtroopers were on alert. Ren then ordered the officer to place all hangars on lockdown to prevent the fugitive from escaping aboard a starship. Soon after, the hangar was destroyed when Starkiller Base exploded during an attack by the Resistance. The hangar was included as a location on Starkiller Base in the book Galactic Explorer's Guide, authored by the pirate Hondo Ohnaka and his protocol droid DK-RA-43 at some point after the Battle of Crait in 34 ABY.
