- "I need you to keep him alive to deliver the datacard to the rendezvous in person."
- ―Han Solo, detailing Beilert Valance's job of escorting Vharn
A datacard, data disk, or datadisc was a flat, handheld device used to store information.
During the Battle of Scarif, the Death Star plans stolen by Rogue One were beamed to the Profundity, where they were transferred to a datacard. The card was given to Princess Leia Organa,[2] who later tried to deliver the plans to Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine. When her ship fell under attack from the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Devastator, she stored the datacard into the memory banks of R2-D2, shortly after recording a message for Kenobi.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Datacards feature as an in-game resource, containing characters and other materials, in the non-canon video game Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, ranging from bronzium to packs of chromium and the most expensive aurodium.
