Several distinct models of messenger droids existed in the galaxy, all with the purpose of transporting information. The ASN courier droid was a small flying courier droid[5] 0.3 meters in height,[6] which contained a small tube in which a message could be placed for delivery. However, the droid could also be modified to operate as an assassin, dispensing deadly items from its message canister.[2]

The KUP24 messenger was a small, flattened model that maneuvered close to the ground which saw use under enslavement by the Pyke Syndicate in the Spice Mines of Kessel.[7]

MSE-6 series repair droids, commonly known as mouse droids, were small, wheeled, black-plate general multipurpose labor droids that, among other functions, delivered messages across military instillations.[8]

R4 astromech

The Galactic Empire's Imperial Press Corps employed modified R4-series astromech droids as courier droids with the purpose of carrying sensitive information between distanced locations while avoiding networks.[9] R4 courier droids were specifically programmed by the Empire to be devoid of personality,[10] and sported specialized markings denoting their courier status.[9]
