| Starting the North Pole sections: September 27, 2022 |
Interesting tidbit I learned researching this part is a plug-like structure at the very north pole of the Death Star. While I was aware of the large opening in the original Ralph McQuarrie concept art, I didn't know a variation of that made it to the final model.
While I'm not sure that structure exists in the original 1977 model, it does appear in Rogue One before the Death Star fires on Scarif.

| One of three Hangar variations: September 30, 2022 |
At the moment I have three distinct styles of hanger bays on the equatorial trench. Each based on a segment seen in A New Hope, Return of the Jedi, and Rogue One.
