The Endurance class light cruiser is a varient of the [[Endeavour Endeavor Class Light Cruiser|Endeavor class]]. The Endeavor's [[weapon battery]]s 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]].
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.
