"The pride of Riis, the banner of the lowliest Eliksni, the savior of our people."

— Eponymous Archon

The Barque is the capital ship of the Eliksni fleet, and is armed with weapons not employed by other Fallen factions in the Solar system. Never before sighted until the Battle of Pluto, where the House of Time bore the brunt of the first Red Legion assault, these ships are versatile and unique in that they also serve as generational ships for the Eliksni species. With a greater voluminal capacity than Ketches they helped preserve Eliksni culture and peoples.

Before the Battle of Pluto, sightings of these gargantuan vessels were relatively rare, often dismissed as Hunter tales or Warlock ramblings. Even for the Awoken sightings of these ships were uncommon, as the only Wolf examples were destroyed in the Rout at Ceres. They now fight on behalf of the Solar Coalition against the Shadowkeepers in the Apocalypse and later, a hostile force of extradimensional aliens in the Battle of Verses.
