The Endurance-class Fleet Carrier of the ancient New Republic was built as the first mainstay Fleet Carrier in the New Class Modernization Program, exemplifying the New Republic and the Galactic Alliance’s preference for using starfighters for power projection throughout the galaxy rather than massive Star Destroyers.
As a dedicated starfighter platform, the Endurance II features only a handful of capital ship weapons including twelve turbolasers and eight ion cannons comparable to some military corvettes despite being many times their size. Although it is considered only barely more armed than a civilian craft the majority of its armament is dedicated to solid number of point defense weaponry spread evenly across its hull.
Its hull consists of an alusteel frame supporting durasteel armored plates protected by a relatively weak deflector shield, clearly not intended for entering into the chaos of battle itself but for delivering payloads of starfighters, operating as a fleet tender, allowing for fighter groups to rapidly rearm and resupply, and coordinating fighter groups. Its bridge tower features several command and control systems and mission control offices to allow its operators to communicate and coordinate the various fighter groups in a battle.
The Endurance has four hangar bays present, plus a small executive hangar. The first and largest is the Dorsal hangar, facing forward which allows for the quick launch of its three squadrons of fighters, bombers, even heavily armed gunships loaded into this bay. The second and third are a pair of identical hangars on the starboard and port facings of the ship, each capable of holding and launching a starfighter wing of three squadrons. Finally, the dorsal hangar is for larger vessels, such as shuttles, dropships, transports, and smaller support craft like gunboats, light corvettes, and armed freighters. Using the multiple hangars the Endurance II-class is able to rapidly launch and recollect its fighter complement.
One of its main roles is that of a long range patrol craft, using combined-flights squadrons to range across vast swaths of space.

- Swarm: The Endurance-class is built for one thing. Carrying a swarm of starfighters.
- Sluggish: While it is fairly quick for a vessel its size, it struggles to rapidly reorient making it sluggish to realign and keep up with smaller vessels.
- Open Frame: The sheer amount of hangar space causes a lack of internal integrity to the vessel, making it vulnerable to warheads and internal detonations.
- Lack of Weaponry: The Endurance-class has very few weapons, and even fewer capital ship weapons.
