The AT Barge or AT-AT Barge is a craft capable of carrying large units down to a planet's surface. They are found onboard Star Destroyers and other capital ships with hangers large enough to contain these huge space barges. An AT Barge lands on a battlefield, deploys the units, and quickly ascends back to the planets orbit. They are unarmed and very light armored. That's why they are very dependent on the units already ground based to find and secure safe landing sites.

There are 20 AT-AT Walkers and 30 AT-ST walkers onboard each ISD, but only 12 AT Barges. This means that during full scale ground assaults, the AT Barge crews have to work very quick. It takes allot of training, but normally the AT Barge only have to be ground based for about 10-20 seconds, before returning to high orbit to pick up yet another set of ATs.

The AT Barge's cargo hold can contain many deferent types of military walkers and other vehicles. But here are some of the most common:

1 All Terrain Ultra-Heavy Transport (AT-UT) or

2 All Terrain Armored Transports (AT-AT) or

4 All Terrain Anti-Aircrafts (AT-AA) or

6 All Terrain Scout Transports (AT-ST) or

28 All Terrain Personal Transports (AT-PT).
