| - A Barque is a type of light galley, sturdier and stronger than the Dromond. As expected, it is meant to serve in the Castle Age as an escort and raiding ship, capable of tearing apart the more lightly-armed fire vessels and transport barques used by land units to traverse water. Barques are a highly versatile ship, due to their cost and speed, making them highly useful on the high seas, but are easily sunk by heavier Roundships and Cogs. Nevertheless, a player should pay attention the the fact that it does not cost as much as a heavy ship, and is far faster than such. Perhaps, the best use of a Barque would be to escort heavy ships. Because heavy ships are highly vulnerable to fire attacks, you can use Barques to either intercept the offending units, or to at least blunt their effects on your fleet by literally taking the fire, as opposed to letting them reach your more valuable heavy units. Despite the appearance of more sophisticated watercraft, such as the Portuguese caravela, galleys continued to be used by various Western states well into the early Industrial Era. Galleys were easy to build, and cheap to outfit, and, in the Mediaeval Old World, were thus suitable for naval warfare which generally involved littoral action. At the same time, the flexibility of a galley meant that the ship was also popular with pirate crews who terrorised the Mediterranean, because its shallow draught allowed it to be hidden along the small islets that dotted the Mediterranean, and its agility also allowed it to take on larger but clumsier merchant vessels. Even long after tall ships became more agile and more destructive in power, galleys continued to be used in conflicts throughout Asia, Europe and even the Americas until the height of the Industrial Age, when steam power made oar propulsion all but obsolete save for the smallest of vessels.

- During the Destruction of Halvo Bay, General Karn used several Barque's to transport his troops across the coast of Halvo Bay and presumably to also attack the Endeavour Naval Shipyard and Onyx Point. Kilo Squad, through yet unknown circumstances, hijacked and used one of these Barque to reach the coast of Onyx Point so they could locate the Lightmass Missile kept inside the fort. When the Gears tried to leave the island, a large group Barque's landed several Locust on the shore that laid siege to the island until they were fended off. The Gears then used one of the Barque that they hijacked to return to Halvo Bay so that they could launch the missile on Karn. They left the hijacked Barque stationed at a channel near the Wharf District. It is unknown how the Gears managed to operate the vessel. The Barque's were not seen again by COG forces, or at least no encounter has been mentioned, and they were presumably replaced by Locust Gunboats for yet unknown reasons, although it could be that the Gunboats could carry weapons and were faster than the Barque which were designed for breaching heavily fortified areas by transporting troops.
