The Theta-class AT-AT Barge was one of several dropships used by the Galactic Empire. The AT-AT Barge is a simplistic vessel, designed for only one purpose, to transport a single AT-AT Walker from orbit to the surface of a planet. The Barge's one redeeming feature is its extremely heavy armor, which allows it to resist massive amounts of damage, but apart from this it is a slow, not very maneuverable vessel which carries only small amounts of supplies.

Though it was similar in general shape to the Y-85 Titan Dropship, the AT-AT Barge was far smaller and had a dark blue or light beige color. There was also another variation which could carry two AT-ATs. The AT-AT Barge was primarily used aboard smaller capital ships, like Star Destroyers. 

Because of the Barge's limited size, the walker had to be carried with its legs folded and unprepared for immediate combat. Only after being dropped off could the walker extend its legs and enter battle.

The Galactic Empire reluctantly used these Barges, because like the Y-85 Titan Dropship, the Theta-class Barge was manufactured by the Incom Corporation.
