Prior to his promotion to admiral , Garrick Versio served as an Inspector General in the secretive Imperial Security Bureau . Convinced that Imperial strength was necessary to maintain order in the galaxy , Admiral Versio extended that conviction into his relationship with his daughter , mercilessly pushing her and constantly testing her limits . Eventually , Iden became the commander of Inferno Squad , an Imperial Special Forces commando unit assembled by Garrick , which included Agent s Gideon Hask , Del Meeko , and Seyn Marana , in response to the destruction of the Death Star . He first tasked them in infiltrate and destroy the Dreamers , a mission that resulted in an Imperial victory though saw the death of Marana . Garrick commanded the Star Destroyer " Eviscerator " and partook at the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY , witnessing the death of Admiral Firmus Piett , whom he called a fool after the Super Star Destroyer " Executor " crashed into the second Death Star and was destroyed . Shortly afterwards , the second Death Star exploded , destroyed by the attacking Rebel forces . Vice Admiral Rae Sloane , despite not being the highest ranking commanding officer , ordered for a full retreat , Garrick and the " Eviscerator " waited for Inferno Squad to evacuate Endor . Above Vardos , Garrick confirmed the death of Emperor Palpatine to his daughter aboard the " Eviscerator " and shared with her the Messenger droid he received , which communicated the final orders of the Emperor : to begin at once . He sent Iden and Inferno Squad to Fondor to protect Moff Raythe , who transported satellites crucial to Operation : Cinder aboard his Star Destroyer " Dauntless " . Though a battle erupted at the Imperial shipyards above Fondor when Rebel Alliance forces attempted to hijack the ship , they were eventually destroyed , and Operation : Cinder was secured . Moff Raythe ' s satellites and the " Dauntless " were in fact sent to target the loyal Imperial world of Vardos itself . Despite the planet being his own homeworld and teeming with Imperial loyalists , Garrick ordered the satellites turned online per the posthumous order of the Emperor , and commanded his daughter to extract Protectorate Gleb .

They escaped aboard the " Corvus " with their crew and some survivors , but Hask turned on them and returned to Garrick with Protectorate Gleb and her agent , prompting Garrick to promote Hask to Commander . Garrick went on to run operations on Bespin and Sullust , procuring fuel and weapons for the shattering Empire , while he and Hask were hunted down by Iden and Meeko , now members of Inferno Squad in the New Republic .

The " Eviscerator " was badly damaged in the battle and soon began to lose integrity ; as it burnt in the skies of Jakku , Iden made an attempt to rescue her father . Though Rax also intended for Garrick to leave , he declined his daughter ' s rescue attempt . Looking out over the battle and his rapidly disintegrating starship , Garrick bitterly lamented having dedicated his entire life to an Empire which was indeed weak and flawed whilst Iden tried to convince him to leave . In their final moments together , he made peace with his daughter and urged her to leave and live a good life , something which he did not regard himself worthy of . Iden reluctantly left him on the bridge and evacuated in an escape pod , while Garrick remained on the " Eviscerator " as it crashed onto the sandy desert s of Jakku , perishing in the collision .
