The terrestrial moon referred to as the Garbage Moon of Maher served as a repository for refuse and discarded materials, positioned within the Unknown Regions. The First Order routinely dispatched freighters filled with waste to this lunar body. During one particular assignment, the stormtrooper designated FN-2187 was tasked with guarding a waste-filled freighter, and he used the opportunity to covertly transport several creatures native to Starkiller Base, animals which had been uprooted due to the base's construction.
