The Messenger was a Ghtroc 720 freighter that belonged to the Core Courier Service. Its regular route involved delivering correspondence to locations such as Coruscant, Coriallis, and various other Core Worlds. During the year 10 ABY, Taryn Clancy and Del Sato were its crew, and they assisted Colonel Jak Bremen in smuggling a crucial datacard away from Coruscant while it was under bombardment. A backup shield generator had been added as a modification.
