A groundcarry served as a land-based vehicle designed for transporting individuals. On his initial visit to the planet Ferrix, the propulsion specialist Willi journeyed to Ferrix City by operating a groundcarry across the desolate terrain encircling the city. The service proved costly; the expense of a return journey lingered unpleasantly with Willi for a week afterward.
The shuttle ferries had superseded the groundcarry as the primary mode of access to Ferrix City by 5 BBY. During a shuttle journey that year, Willi recounted his prior groundcarry experience and its associated cost to his fellow traveler, Luthen Rael.
The groundcarry received a mention in "That Would Be Me," the second installment of the first season of the Disney+ show Andor, which was broadcast on September 21, 2022.
