Welcome to the EMPIRE guide to Daily Commendation.

Out of those 18 quests, there are 11 on Belsavis, in which 2 are H4 quests, and 1 H2+, and 6 on Ilum, in which 1 are H2+ and finally 1 Space Mission.

You can now get a maximum of 27 Daily Commendations each day from Daily quests.
I will update whenever i find any more quests that gives Daily Commendations.

Cal'thaza - Vanquish - Hex Droid EU-PvP

For Republic players:

Ilum (8 commendations)

Belsavis (17 commendations)

Corellia (9 commendations)

Space Combat (2 commendations)

When you complete enough quests on Belsavis to start the Bonus Series quest line, it will unlock and send you to a set of small quest hubs where you can complete quests each day for these commendations.

They are primarily single player, but there is one [Heroic 2+] quest and two [Heroic 4] quests that award not only daily commendations, but a choice of one of several high quality items mods upon completion(each time you do it).

The daily commendations can be turned in at vendors in the starting hub for a selection of somewhat mediocre implants/earpieces (120 apiece), two mounts for 200 apiece, and power rank/rating 126 barrels/hilts/armoring (8 apiece). The implants aren't much but the mods are amazing and you can't craft anything that high at this current time.

I realize there's already a comment with this but I wanted a list of the missions with the NPC names and locations to facilitate affection gathering.
Republic missions:

Ilum:
Republic Base Camp
Master Moran - [Heroic 2+] Darkness on Ilum
Agent Falcon - Jam the Transmissions
L4-B5 - Pilot Down
Republic Waystation
Major Dumerin - Icy Destruction
Captain Sarmuk - Crystal Clear Sabotage
General Orias - A Fair Fight

Belsavis:
Republic Wilderness Outpost
Major Harris - Strengthening The Chain
Master Korman Reyes - Restraining the Darkness
Sergeant Kayen - Emergent Medicine (note that picking up Strengthening the Chain seems to hide this until you complete that mission)
Melt water Outpost
Doctor Everis - [Heroic 2+] A Lesson is Learned
Agent Hextal - [Heroic 4] Open Communications
Frozecavern Canyon
Captain Devlin - Riot
Tech Station (General Skylast) - [Heroic 4] The Stasis Generator
Oasis Republic Post
Leftside Monitoring Station Console (Captain Devlin) - Prison Repairs
Rightside Monitoring Station Console (Master Vij Markos) - Sleeping Rakata
Monitoring Station (Doctor Larek) - Unheard Frequencies
The Greater Menagerie entrance
Holoterminal (Captain Valn) - Containing the Beast

NOTE: The below information is from a reddit post I found that may be useful to some. Original post found here.

Ilum
Poisonous Strategy (Heroic 2+) - 3 tokens and artifact Enhancement 22
A Tightened Grip - 1 token
Defend the Shipment - 1 token (note: this is frequently bugged)
Rightful Owner - 1 token
Operation Shatterstorm - 1 token
Sabotage - 1 token

Belsavis (bonus series must be completed to unlock these)
Old Enemies (Heroic 4) - 3 tokens and artifact Armoring 22
Lights Out (Heroic 4) - 3 tokens and choice of level 49 orange companion weapons
Freeing the Fallen (Heroic 2+) - 3 tokens and artifact Mod 22
Deadly Mutations - 1 token
Ancient Transmissions - 1 token
Found in Translation - 1 token
Invisible Threat - 1 token
The Carriers of Xenovirus Prime - 1 token
Reluctant Volunteers - 1 token
Unintended Consequences - 1 token
Droid Malfunction - 1 token

I count 25 available tokens per day. A few notes on the heroics:
-Poisonous Strategy can be fairly difficult with two players if neither has CC. You must defeat two elite Jedi at once, they hit hard, and they love to use AOE which will kill your companions quickly.
-Old Enemies can be easily 2-manned with a healer, and would likely be soloable by a healer and a well-geared companion (mine isn't quite there yet). The trash on the way to the boss is harder than the boss himself; stealth helps a lot.
-Lights Out is very easy to solo if you don't mind dying a couple of times, or if you have an instant in-combat stealth escape button. The objectives are guarded but can be clicked while in combat.
-Freeing the Fallen is the easiest of all of them. The Jedi Master's damage is very low, and most classes can probably solo this with the appropriate companion.
-The artifact-level components granted by the heroic quests are BoE, and if you don't need them they do sell pretty well on the GTN. The credit rewards for the quests themselves are 7k-14k; the total for doing all dailies is around 150k/day.
-All dailies reset each day at 7:00AM EST.

I had a nightmare finding dear Doctor Everis so for those who wan to do the [Heroic 2+] A Lesson is Learned:

Doctor Everis is located in the Melt water Outpost, south-west of the High Security Section in Belsavis.
Coordinates: 1308x325

thanks of all this very useful info.
Could anyone help me understand how to get Daily Commendations through Flashpoints? When I open Group Finder it shows me five normal mode flashpoints that reward Daily Comms but no where online does anyone mention Flashpoints in their guides.

If someone could share a link or make a list of normal mode Flashpoints (if any) that reward Daily Commendations? That was be fantastic!

I have found:
[Heroic 2+] A Lesson is Learned and
[Heroic 4] Open Communications
to be easy to solo as a Jedi Shadow. For "A Lesson is Learned" each piece of weaponry that you need to destroy is guarded by one elite and 2 strong NPCs or one champion. I sneak in, mind maze the elite, then kill the two hard NPCs. They are usually both dead by the time the elite recovers, then the elite is relatively easy to solo. Once they are dead you destroy the weapons cache and "talk to" the prisoners to release them. I can just mind maze the champions and then release their prisoners and destroy the weapons. I've only died once on this when a "hard" mob that pats around got into the middle of a fight. I usually take him out now after the first group.

"Open Communications just requires you to sneak into a dead droid and recover a "passkey" off it. Once you recover the key a mob of elites spawns, but I have no problem doing a "force cloak" and booking out of there. The hardest part of this is not aggroing the mobs when sneaking in, so I just mind maze one on the side of each group and sneak by with no problem.

@Morsmort:

btw it's -1308

also this quest is for the republic
