Redirecting to Light Cruiser#Endurance Class
#REDIRECT [[Image:EnduranceClassLightCruiser.JPG|thumb|right|'''Endurance Class Light Cruiser''']] 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]] as well as the Endeavor class.<sup>1</sup> 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 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.<sup>1</sup> Notable #Endurance Class ships include:;Ad Liberis:Seen during the [[Third War for Armageddon]] and destroyed nine Ork Escorts above [[Pelucidar]] before [[Admiral]] [[Parol]] ordered the retreat.<sup>1</sup> ==Sources==*<sup>1</sup>:[http://www.specialist-games.com/battlefleetgothic/rulebook.asp To Clense the Stars]{{ImpShips}}[[Category:Imperial Navy]]
