The Herald is a small data running ship developed by StarCitizen:Drake Interplanetary. It is designed to be a compact, fortified vessel engineered to securely transport information from one location to another. It is equipped with a robust central engine that facilitates rapid transit and provides the necessary power for efficient data encryption and containment. Additionally, the ship boasts sophisticated encryption software and a reinforced computer core. What sets the Herald apart from other personal spacecraft is its design, which allows for straightforward 'cleaning' procedures in the event of a potential capture.<ref name="HeraldStore">Template:Cite RSI</ref><ref name="Heraldbrochure">Template:Cite RSI</ref>
