General Daeruun, Jedi Master Gnost-Dural, and the Commander of the Eternal Alliance were set to depart from the Valor-class cruiser Telos to the planet of Corellia to engage with forces from the reconstituted Sith Empire. Before departing, Daeruun mentioned to the Commander that the travel would be long enough to allow him to cook ryshcate and prepare a pot of Gatalentan tea. Gnost-Dural replied that he was interested in having some tea to see what the commotion was behind it, as he was in a bacta tank the last time Daeruun brewed it.

During a conversation with General Daeruun in The Old Republic, the Commander can mention liking or disliking tea, depending on the player's choices. If the player expresses interest in the beverage, Daeruun will promise to send the Commander a case of Gatalentan tea. Choosing that option makes a letter from Doctor Eckard Lokin become available after completing the Jedi Under Siege storyline. In the letter, Lokin states he would like to share Gatalentan tea with the Commander.
In The Dantooine Incursion update for The Old Republic, released in 2019, if the Commander is not a spy for the reconstituted Sith Empire and if a Republic News Network interview with the Commander boosts the morale in Republic, Daeruun sends the character a letter. In it, the General congratulates the Commander and invites the character to drink Gatalentan tea with him.
