Legend

one of several new warship designs created during the early years of the New Republic, the Endurance-class fleet carrier was one of the new classes approved for use by the Navy. Like other starships of the new class, the Endurance-class was based on another design which had already been proved, the Nebula-class destroyer. It measured 1,040 meters in length, and was armed with 12 turbolaser cannons, 20 laser cannons, 8 ion cannons, and 4 tractor beam projectors. The Endurance-class ship required a crew of 6,795, with 76 gunners and room for 1,600 troops. The Endurance-class Carrier was designed to be a primary source of support for a battle fleet, and could easily act as a command ship to a small fleet. The carrier maintained a pair of starfighter wings, one for close assault and one for long-range superiority.
