The [[Drake Interplanetary|Drake]] '''Herald''' is a small, armored ship designed to safely get information from Point A to Point B. Featuring a powerful central engine (for high-speed transit and generating the power needed for effective data encryption/containment), advanced encryption software and an armored computer core, the Herald is favored by organizations such as [[FTL Courier Service]] as its data is designed to be easily ‘cleaned’ when in danger of capture.{{RSI|ref=yes|url=pledge/ships/herald/Herald|text=Drake Herald - Ship Page}}{{RSI|ref=yes|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/media/yuhmsfwd85cssr/source/Herald_brochure.pdf|text=Drake Herald Brochure}}
