A WB-class Barge is a non-FTL boat, typically a kind of Bigcraft although smallcraft barges also exist.
- The commonality for this grouping is a lack of a jump drive or FTL capability.
- The Supraclass designation is also known as Ship Mission, Ship Mission Code, Mission, or Ship Hull Designation.
- It is a ship supraclass.

Description (Specifications)
Barges are system craft, boats designed to range a star system performing useful work. Some barges are used as subcraft off a tender, while many are based out of highports or space stations. Some perform ferry duties from a mainworld to a mining or farming colony on a non-mainworld planet. Jump ferries and shuttles are not included in this category. Barges were once historically categorized as towed vessels lacking independent propulsion, but contempory barges in Charted Space are almost always equipped with maneuver drives or other forms of propulsion.
