The Endurance class light cruiser is a variant of the [[Endeavor Class Light Cruiser|Endeavor class]]. The Endeavor's [[weapon batteries]] have been replaced with a [[lance]] deck. The two classes are often paired together, for mutual protection, and firepower. When this is done, the two ships and bring the firepower equivalent of a true cruiser to bear. However, far more Endeavor class ships are produced, so in practice, often three or four Endeavors are grouped with a single Endurance, providing a fearsome pocket of resistance for any enemy [[Admiral]]. The Endurance is often seen operating with the [[Defiant Class Light Cruiser|Defiant Class]] aswell as well as the Endeavor class.¹

Aswell as its short range lances, the Endurance also has a short range [[weapons battery]] and two [[torpedo]] tubes with which to protect itself. All these systems are short ranged, making the ship vunerable vulnerable to a larger, longer ranged ship, with weapons that can outrange it as the larger ship can attempt to stay out of range, whilst plastering the hapless Endurance with fire from a stand off range.¹

The Notable Endurance Class ships include:;Ad Liberis:Seen during the [[Third War for Armageddon]] and destroyed nine Ork Escorts above [Ad Liberis[Pelucidar]] before [[Admiral]] [[Parol]] is a famous ship of ordered the Endurance classretreat.¹
