Following the discovery of a [[Ravashol pulsar|devastating long-range weapon]] on the ice planet [[Arcta]], ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]''<nowiki/>'s computers are tasked with searching for those experienced with such conditions, with four of them found on the Barge: [[Croft]], [[Leda]], [[Thane]], and [[Wolfe]] {{OS|The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I}}.
Upon visiting the Fleet, [[Baltar (TOS)|Baltar]] is detained by Count [[Iblis]] and the [[Quorum of Twelve (TOS)|Quorum of Twelve]], and sentenced to the Barge. He is later visited there by Iblis, where Baltar comes to the conclusion that Iblis had a hand in the start of the [[Thousand-Yahren War]] {{OS|War of the Gods, Part II}}. During his stay, Baltar is briefly released by Apollo as a lure to draw out [[Karibdis]] {{OS|Murder on the Rising Star}}, but is assigned mess duty {{OS|Baltar's Escape}}.

The [[Eastern Alliance enforcers]] led by Commandant [[Leiter]] that were captured on [[Paradeen]] are briefly incarcerated aboard the Barge. As a result of Sire [[Domra]]'s ill-advised attempt to negotiate with Leiter, he and his enforcers align with Baltar and the [[Borellian Nomen]] trio to escape; all but Baltar are successful {{OS|Baltar's Escape}}. Baltar later negotiates his freedom in return for providing assistance on attacking a [[Battle at Galaxy's Edge|lone Cylon basestar]] {{OS|The Hand of God}}.
