- "The riot originated in cell block 2-1-8-0. Get up there and secure that cellblock."

An Imperial stormtrooper fires at a Rebel pilot emerging from the Death Star's Detention Block 2180.
Detention Block 2180 was a prisoner detainment area on the first Death Star. It was located in proximity to the battle station's Superlaser Fire Control Room and to the Hangars 84G and 85G.[1]
At the very beginning of the Galactic Civil War, this block held prisoners of war associated with the early Rebel Alliance. In 0 BBY, when the battle station was in the final phases of construction, a Jedi being held with the other Rebels devised a plan to help the inmates escape the station in a quickly growing uprising. However, the stormtroopers of the 501st Legion managed to put down the riot, killing or capturing all the escaped prisoners.[1]
