The Good Tidings, a light freighter, belonged to Has Obitt, a Dressellian smuggler, during the era of the Clone Wars. Its agility allowed it to effectively evade blockades. Obitt's expertise in controlling the freighter was a result of his extensive piloting experience over many years. Subsequently, Obitt piloted the Good Tidings V.
This freighter is featured in Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel, a canon novel penned by James Luceno and published in 2016. Despite the mention of Obitt having lost two freighters to enemy fire, it remains unverified whether the Good Tidings was among them.
