The Herald-class shuttle was a light freighter created by the Star Forge for use in the Jedi Civil War.[1]

[edit] Characteristics
The craft was a 28 meter long design, lightly armed with two turbolasers and crewed by two people.[1]
[edit] History
The Herald-class was based off a Republic Fleet Systems design made in limited amounts before it was replaced by the Ministry-class orbital shuttle.[1]
The Herald was one of the few transport ships mass-produced by the Sith Empire. They were used to ship equipment to and from planets, including the precious kolto of Manaan.[2]
[edit] Behind the scenes
In Knights of the Old Republic II, a similar (recently downed) ship is seen on Dxun, belonging to Duros bounty hunters. However, this ship has a different cockpit to the Sith freighter, possibly meaning that, like the Republic military droid carrier, variants were used outside the Sith. The difference in design might also suggest it was of the earlier, limited-production line.
