The Equatorial trench was the wide trench than ran around the equator of the Galactic Empire's first and second Death Stars, separating their northern and southern hemispheres.[2][3] It contained the battle stations' ion drive arrays and docking bays, and the other trenches ran parallel to it.[4]
Legacy[edit | edit source]
Main article: The planet Ilum under the rule of the Empire,[5] and later the First Order,[6] also had a similarly surrounding equatorial trench, yet one of a larger size.[7]
