Ardees Beverage Company, a producer of beverages, was responsible for manufacturing Moogan tea and Ardees Beverage. A significant scandal engulfed the company after smuggled Ardees Beverage, combined with the possibly poisonous substance slabin used for dilution, led to a widespread sickness affecting students on Mandalore. This event was triggered by a company insider who aided the smuggler Tee Va in obtaining the Ardees Beverage concentrate, which, after being mixed with slabin, resulted in the outbreak.
