    Gardit
    Welcome to Taris. I hear you've done the Republic a good turn in the past, so I'm sorry not to have a warmer welcome for you.
    Hero of Tython
    You look worried.
    Gardit
    Uh, we're having some trouble, nothing you could have predicted, but... there you are. Our bases here are far from self-sufficient. We're not farmers, and there's no existing infrastructure here to work with.
    Meteor
    I can't believe the Republic sent you out here without sufficient supplies.
    Gardit
    Oh, we get supplies. Every month. Shipped in from Ord Mantell. Problem is, this month's ship went nose-down into some of the worst territory on Taris. It'll take another month before the next one arrives, and in the meantime, my men are stewing their gloves.
    Voidhound
    So, deal with it.
    Gardit
    Oh, we'll live. But you know soldiers - spend half their paychecks on pazaak, then wonder why they've got nothing left for a rainy day. Lot of discipline slips since the reduced rations went into effect, though. Almost let a rakghoul right through the perimeter. It'd be a great service to the Republic if you want to help us out...
    Barsen'thor
    No one should be left to starve while serving the Republic.
    Gardit
    The Republic thanks you for your service. Every package you recover from the crash site means another week we can hold out at full strength. Our men tried to reach the ship once, but they turned back after taking serious casualties. They said it's more than just rakghouls, but couldn't make an ID. You still want to go, you'll need to talk to our quartermaster at the supply shed across the base. She's got the exact coordinates of the crash.

    Kahrin Wek
    We don't have antibiotics. They come on the same ship as everything else.
    Gardit
    You're supposed to keep better tabs on that sort of thing. These men have the Csillian flu. They could die if- Ah, you've returned. And with all of you unhurt. Dare I ask if you've managed to recover our supplies?
    Meteor
    Tell your men they're off rationing.
    Gardit
    Not a moment too soon, Lieutenant. Let me tell you, you really saved my stripes on this one. The men came close to mutiny when I cut rations again. Hmph. They knew this wasn't going to be a luxury cruise.
    Meteor
    Your outpost won't starve now, no thanks to you.
    Gardit
    Now you just watch yourself. I did everything in my power to-
    Kahrin Wek
    What do you expect? You ask your men to starve while you eat bantha steaks from offworld?
    Meteor
    These pictures prove you knew the ship was damaged, and you sent it anyway.
    Kahrin Wek
    They're going to Republic Command. Along with my documentation of every personal purchase you've made. These men left their families and risked their lives to come here. If they die, it should be for someone better than you.
    Gardit
    I- I didn't know the ship was so bad. I thought, if it was serious, they'd catch it on Ord Mantell.
    Meteor
    The men on Taris deserve a better leader.
    Voidhound
    A good commander lives under the same conditions as his troops.
    Gardit
    I never realized how quickly we go through our supplies. If I'd thought we couldn't last the month, I- I have some, uh, personal stores. I'll distribute them while you finish here. As a gesture of good faith.
    Kahrin Wek
    I never thought I'd see anyone put the righteous fear into him like that. Good job, and thank you. But there may be something else, too.

during the later stages of the war, where he was in command of Waypoint Station Draay.
Realizing the living conditions on Taris were not what he was used to, Gardit began to use his position and outpost's budget to ensure good rations and benefits for himself, while the rest of the base was forced to survive on meager supplies. He had a personal vehicle, decorated his office with Alderaanian

, Kahrin Wek, suspected Gardit's corruption but was unable to prove it without evidence. When one of the base's supply ships was set to leave for the nearest supply depot, Wek noticed that one of the ship's engines was damaged. Gardit, however, dismissed her concerns and allowed the ship to leave. The ship had barely lifted off when it crashed in a nearby swamp infested with bogstalkers

.
When a group of Republic operatives visited Waypoint Station Draay, Gardit asked them to help recover the supplies from the downed craft. He sent the operatives to Wek for the location of the crash, but Wek informed them of her suspicions. Wek convinced the operatives to help expose her superior. She gave them a holocamera along with the ship's location, telling them to record the damaged engine as evidence.
The operatives succeeded, recovering all of the supplies that remained, and returned to Wek with the evidence she needed. She and the operatives then confronted Gardit, who shamefacedly told the pair that he had not realized the ship was that badly damaged - he thought it could make it to the nearest refueling station.
Regardless, Wek planned to court-martial the commander, and thanked the operatives for the help.
