The Endeavour-class Light Cruiser is one of the smallest class of light cruiser in the Imperial Navy.
Overview
Despite being one of the smallest cruiser's in the Imperial Navy, the Endeavour-class is also one of the slowest due to it's large array of heavy armament. Because of this drawback, the Endeavour-class is more often used as an escort for much larger ships, such as the Apocalypse-class Battleship, rather than for hit-and-run strikes on pirates and enemy fleets like most light cruisers are suited for.
The weapon batteries attached to the Endeavour-class only have a short range, but make up in power where they lack in range. Endeavour-class light crusiers are quite capable of producing the same punishing firepower that Battleships can and are capable of holding their own against enemy ships.
