Endurance Class Light Cruiser

The Endurance class light cruiser is a varient of the Endeavor class. The Endeavor's weapon batterys 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 of a true cruiser to bare. 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 risistance for any enemy Admiral. The Endurance is often seen operating with the Defiant Class aswell as the Endeavor class.

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 to a larger 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.

The Ad Liberis is a famous ship of the Endurance class.
