"The local ground vehicle in the courtyard, did you recognize it?"
"Not really, should I?"
"It appeared to be an ore carrier of some sort, its surface was marked by dirt and stone damage."
―Thrawn to Anakin Skywalker[3]

Ore carriers were carriers utilized to carry ore.[1] In 19 BBY,[4] Duke Solha utilized an ore carrier to transport cortosis obtained on his cortosis mine to his droid factory to manufacture cortosis B2 super battle droids for the Confederacy of Independent Systems.[2]
