A courier, or runner, was an individual who served as a messenger for various important deliveries.
Klaang was a courier for the Klingon High Command in 2151 when his scoutship crashed on Earth. (ENT: "Broken Bow")
Morn was given the task of being the courier that delivered a message to Starfleet that the Dominion was about to bring down the minefield blocking the Bajoran wormhole. (DS9: "Favor the Bold")
In the 32nd century, the Mercantile, an Emerald Chain-operated marketplace located at Requiem, Hima, employed couriers for picking up and delivering items. Payment was in the form of dilithium. On their left sleeves, the couriers wore a piece of technology which was used as identification. In the 3180s, Cleveland Booker, Cosmo Traitt, and Zareh worked as couriers.
