Less common than the other Endeavor variants, the ''Endurance''-class retains the [[Macrocannon|light Macro turrets]] and [[Torpedo|Torpedo launchers]] of its parent class, but exchanges the Macro batteries with a [[Lance Weapon|Lance]] deck and two [[torpedo]] tubes. 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 standoff range

Less effective on its own, it's normally paired up with an Endeavor to bring the effective firepower of a true Cruiser to bear.

However, far more Endeavor class ships are produced, so in practice, often three or four Endeavours 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 as well as the Endeavour class.
