The '''Endeavour Class Light Cruiser''' lacks the speed of the [[Dauntless Class Light Cruiser]], and is therefore unsuitable to the anti-piracy role. It is therefore used as a convoy flagship, or heavy [[escort ]] for a large capital ship. To counter the vulnerability of being as slow as a larger capital ship, the Endeavour has a much better turret array than a Dauntless Class, however, the power to upgrade the shields to the same level could not be found. Two variants of the Endeavour class exist, the [[Endurance Class Light Cruiser]] and the [[Defiant Class Light Cruiser]].^{{Fn|1}}

The large [[weapons batteries]] of the Endeavour class mean it can hold its own in a fleet engagement, usually equalling equaling the fire-power of a full size [[cruiser]]. These batteries have only a short range, equalling equaling that of the shortest cruiser battery ranges, this is sufficient however for the Endeavour's role as a heavy escort. It also has a small [[torpedo]] compliment, but these are more of a distraction, rather than a serious threat to a capital ship, ; escorts however would do well to avoid them.^{{Fn|1}}
