Other sitesThe Herald is a small data running ship developed by 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.[1][2]
Features
*Computer Core
The armored computer core will operate on a dedicated server, accessible solely from the secure control terminal located within the ship, thereby mitigating the risk of remote hacking.[2]
*Broadcast Array
The SATA-M6A1 high-power broadcast array is designed to facilitate long-distance data transmission for communication and emergency applications.[2]
*Data Storage Pods
Data stored within the data storage pods will be subjected to a proprietary encryption algorithm. Additionally, equipped with rapid access ports, these pods can be detached from the ship for purposes of delivery or in case of an emergency.[2]
*EMP Protection
The Herald will feature state-of-the-art EMP shielding and supplementary power systems designed to prevent complete power failure in the event of an electromagnetic pulse blast.[2]
Speed
The vehicle is exceptionally fast and was engineered as a spacecraft that prioritizes its propulsion system over its structural design. Many have described the experience of operating a Herald at maximum velocity as akin to strapping yourself to a thruster.[2]
Habitation
The vessel is equipped with a kitchenette, bed, and bathroom, making it suitable for extended journeys or periods of waiting.[2]
Stowage
The Herald is equipped with an internal stowage capacity of up to 900K µSCU, along with specialized racks for guns and utilities.[1]
Weapons
The vessel features a Size 3 gun hardpoint located beneath the cockpit, in addition to two hardpoints under the wings designed to support Size 2 guns. Furthermore, it is equipped with two racks, each capable of carrying nine Size 2 missiles.[1]

Development
| 2013-12-22 | The Herald was the 35,000,000 Dollar Stretch Goal of Star Citizen's Crowfunding campaign. The goal was reached on 2013-12-22.[3] |
| 2016-04-28 | The Herald is designed by Josh Coons and was featured in "Ship Shape" of Around the Verse Episode 2.29 and Episode 3.7.[4][5] |
| 2017-03-31 | The Herald creation was influenced by the Speeder from Privateer, as an unarmed racer going fast with a small cargo.[6] |
| CIG showed a blue and red colored variant of the ship in the Pre-Sale Livestream 2016. According to Jared Huckaby, these skins were only made for presentation.[citation needed] | |
Trivia
- The term "herald" designates an official present at tournaments, particularly those associated with knightly sports during the Middle Ages. The responsibilities of a herald encompassed making various announcements, which explains the term's application to both literal and metaphorical forms of communication.[7]
