Zone AM

Zone AM was a section of the cargo bay of a starship belonging to Galactic Society of Creature Enthusiasts (GSCE) and was at one point used for transporting various creatures. While on a flight to Batuu sometime after 34 ABY, the cargo bay held several creatures, including a porg named Penelope, a dokma named Luna, a worrt, a Kowakian monkey-lizard, a dianoga, and a kouhun. The dianoga enclosure was directly connected to refreshers and underneath sewage pipes, where the dianoga's tentacles were able to spread to. Crewmembers were able to scan the enclosures with a datapad to learn more about each creature.

Zone AM also served as storage for several crates such as ones carrying frozen fungus, and cases labeled as dangerous, as well as assorted droid parts above a workshop desk. It also included a table with seats, as well as a Creature Caretakers Activation Scan Point.

During the above-mentioned voyage, astromech droid BL-R4 went inside a rathtar enclosure elsewhere on the ship to feed it, but the creature managed to escape and was set loose. Resistance operatives Rey and Chewbacca, who were secret stowaways on the ship en route to Batuu, successfully teamed up with Quinn and other crewmembers, some of whom were Force-sensitive, to monitor the ship's cameras from the cargo bay in search of the rathtar, and to use the Force to lock down doors and corral the creature back into its cage.
