Datacard

Canon Legends version → Linked from 164 articles

A datacard, data disk, datadisc, or data drive, was a flat, handheld device used to store information. Chain codes were often stored in these devices.

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, 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 transferred the datacard's contents into the memory banks of R2-D2, shortly after recording a message for Kenobi.
