During or after 34 ABY, the Society sent Aree and the cam droid CAM to the planet Hoth in the Outer Rim Territories to learn how to tame a tauntaun. Aree traveled to Hoth in his ship and he parked it outside of a cave that was inhabited with tauntauns. After two failed attempts at riding a tauntaun, Aree managed to befriend a tauntaun with jogan fruit pie. The creature allowed Aree to ride it, and it then ran around in circles around Aree's ship. Aree and the tauntaun then rested near the ship, and the tauntaun continued to eat the pie.
===Dathomir===
After visiting Hoth, the Society sent Aree and CAM to the planet Dathomir in the Outer RimStar Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary to learn how to help a rancor improve its hygiene. After many failed attempts at trying to clean a rancor's teeth, Aree discovered that rancors allow their teeth to be cleaned by blue birds.

===Cholganna===
Aree and CAM then flew to the planet Cholganna in the Outer RimStar Wars: Galaxy's Edge: Traveler's Guide to Batuuto study a nexu in its natural habitat. After landing his ship in the jungle, Aree saw a nexu become trapped in an electric net by two poachers. The poachers placed the feline in a repulsorcraft attached to their speeder bikes and then drove away. Aree decided that the nexu needed his and CAM's help, so he had CAM fly the ship closely behind the speeder bikes. Aree stood on the ship's landing platform at the back of the ship, and CAM flipped the ship around and flew it closer to the nexu. Aree was unsuccessful in grabbing the nexu, so he jumped on the creature. He was electrocuted by the net, causing him and the nexu to fall off. The nexu then scared the two poachers away. While back on the ship, Aree told CAM, who was recording for the Holonet, that befriending a nexu can keep an individual safe. Aree and CAM then departed Cholganna in their ship.
===Naboo===
The Society sent Aree and CAM to the planet Naboo in the Mid Rim TerritoriesUltimate Star Wars on a mission to learn if voorpaks could be trained to be guards. Aree initially failed at training a voorpak, but he discovered that voorpaks were good at guaring and goofing off.
===Lothal===
Aree and CAM then traveled to the planet Lothal in the Outer Rim Territories, and Aree tried to foster an orphaned loth-cat so it could be adopted into a permanent home, though Aree fist needed to catch the feline. He brought the loth-cat into his ship and he poured foodstuff in a bowl, though the lothcat was revolted by the smell. Believing that the presentation was the problem, Aree poured food in a bowl, topped it with a piece of a plant, and placed the bowl on a platter. He presented the food to the lothcat who then smacked the bowl at CAM. Aree then prepared the bowl again and a very large meal for the loth-cat who responded by throwing up. Aree smacked the bowl onto the ground in frustration, causing many rats to start eating the food, and then the loth-cat ate the creatures. The loth-cat proceeded to run and jump around in the cockpit. After the loth-cat was tired out, Aree gave it a pillow to sleep on. It instead tried to sleep on the ship's control panel, which activated the warning alarm, caused compartments to open, turned on the cockpit wipers and the spotlights, and launched two missiles that resulted in a large explosion far from the ship. Aree allowed the loth-cat to sleep in a bed, though it decided to rest on his shoulder.
===Elphrona===
The Society then sent Aree and CAM to the planet Elphrona in the Outer Rim TerritoriesThe Rise of Kylo Ren 2to learn if wild charhounds play fetch. Aree used a cylindrical rod to play fetch with the charhound, but the creature's mouth burned the rod. CAM gave Aree a reinforced rod, a condenser coil, and other cylindrical equipment from the ship, though the charhound burned all of them. Aree asked CAM where it got the rods from, and CAM pointed to the ship collapsing from its weight after the rods were removed. Later, there was smoke coming out of the ship.
===Asteroid field===
Aree and CAM landed their ship on an asteroid field in search of mynocks. Aree used a battery to lure a mynock out of a hole in the asteroid, causing many more mynocks to appear. Aree realized that he and CAM were powered by energy, and the mynocks then chased them back to their ship. They then flew away from the asteroid field. The lights then turned off, and Aree discovered that several mynocks managed to sneak on their ship. He then noticed that the mynocks were draining energy from the ship's power converter. The mynocks then drained a lot of Aree's energy, putting him in low power mode. Aree struggled to pull down the lever the release the airlock, and Aree, CAM, the mynocks, and everything else in the ship was blown into space. CAM pulled Aree back into the ship and closed the airlock. CAM managed to get the ship's power back up and plugged Aree into a large battery. While CAM was recording, Aree said that pilots should avoid mynocks, and he turned on the wipers after a mynock flew into his ship. The ship then launched into hyperspace.
===Kowak===
Aree and CAM flew their ship to the planet Kowak in the Outer RimStar Wars: The Force Awakens Beginner Game to learn how to become friends with Kowakian monkey-lizards. While he was telling this to CAM, the ship's alarm went off due to the monkey-lizards stealing equipment from the ship. Aree exited his ship and saw one of the engines fall off. Aree offered the monkey-lizards fruit in exchange for the ship's parts. Instead, the monkey-lizards threw fruit at Aree until he was hit, causing him to enter defensive mode. He threw a fruit at a monkey-lizard, so all of them laughed. This convinced the monkey-lizards to repair Aree's ship, though one of them kept a piece of equipment. Aree and CAM then departed Kowak in their ship.
