Endurance-class fleet carrier

The Endurance-class fleet carrier was a model of large carrier in the second sector of the Astragon Navy.

Characteristics
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.
