- The Endurance-class Fleet Carrier often serves as the centerpiece of many modern, and smaller, New Republic fleets. Unlike its cousin, the Defender-class Star Destroyer, the Endurance-class sees greater use as it is a cheaper alternative. The Endurance has a Class 2 hyperdrive and can carry 1,600 troops and enough consumables for five months. However, weapons had to be sacrificed to make room for extra fighters. Endurance-class Fleet Carriers are only armed with a secondary armament of twelve turbolaser cannons, twenty laser cannons, eight ion cannons, and four tractor beam projectors.
- The only reason this ship evaded the size limit was due to the fact that its design was a heavily modified Nebula-class Star Destroyer, which was allowed. Just like the Nebula, it was 1,040 meters long, but it removed all heavy weapons and many of the non-heavy weapons. The armor was lessened, but the shields were stronger. The Endurance Carrier managed to keep twelve turbolasers, eight ion cannons, twenty laser cannons, and four tractor beam projectors. At most, this paltry armament is used for defense against fighters and light warships.

- The only reason this ship evaded the size limit was due to the fact that its design was a heavily modified Nebula-class Star Destroyer, which was allowed. Just like the Nebula, it was 1,040 meters long, but it removed all heavy weapons and many of the non-heavy weapons. The armor was lessened, but the shields were stronger. The Endurance Carrier managed to keep twelve turbolasers, eight ion cannons, twenty laser cannons, and four tractor beam projectors. At most, this paltry armament is used for defense against fighters and light warships. In exchange for a massive reduction in weapons, the Endurance boasts a massive fighter complement, carrying the Nebula's 60 craft plus 72 more ships in two heavy fighter wings of 36 ships each. One of these was always a short-ranged heavy assault wing, while the other was a long-range wing of hyperdrive-equipped fighters for space superiority. The remaining sixty ships were variable. Another notable feature of the Endurance is the fact that the bridge tower was moved out of the main hull to make room for more fighters, in a similar position to that of a Venator-class Star Destroyer. However, there was only one bridge tower, not two, and it was about as long and tall but much wider than the Venator's.
- The Endurance-class Fleet Carrier often serves as the centerpiece of many modern, and smaller, New Republic fleets. Unlike its cousin, the Defender-class Star Destroyer, the Endurance-class sees greater use as it is a cheaper alternative. The Endurance has a Class 2 hyperdrive and can carry 1,600 troops and enough consumables for five months. However, weapons had to be sacrificed to make room for extra fighters. Endurance-class Fleet Carriers are only armed with a secondary armament of twelve turbolaser cannons, twenty laser cannons, eight ion cannons, and four tractor beam projectors. While they boast improved hull integrity, their shields are markedly less powerful. Although they are equipped with a formidable anti-starfighter weapon system, the fleet carriers are usually protected by screening ships and starfighters. They are not designed to enter the savage heart of battle, but to deploy and coordinate smaller ships. The main fighting punch of an Endurance-class ship consists of two wings of starfighters. One wing is typically a short-range assault wing composed of K-wing bombers and Defender Starfighters for close support. The other wing is a long-range superiority wing composed of hyperdrive-equipped fighters such as E-wings, A-wings, and X-wings.
