=ISS Endurance=

Endurance is the flagship of Imperial Stormfleet. It is an XC-class battlecruiser, the fifth of which to be built.

Despite being the fifth vessel of her class to be built, Endurance has arguably the most battle-trained crew in the Stormfleet Navy, due to many crew having transferred from earlier vessels.

History
Endurance was launched from UFY (United Fleet Yards) dock number 2 on January 29 2155 as their fifth XC-class heavy cruiser, under the command of Captain James Grundy. The first mission of Endurance was a shakedown cruise on a simple patrol of the Manacor system. Endurance completed her mission successfully and she was dispatched on a long-range patrol with her sister ship Trident (XC-04).

Mid way through the patrol, Trident was recalled to Ikarus to transport Fleet Admiral Cannell to a conference on Triskelia. It was on this mission that Endurance hit her maximum speed of warp 6.6 for the first time, escaping from an Ec'kack battleship. This made her the fastest vessel in the fleet, with her older sister ships only capable of warp 5.8.

After escaping from the Ec'kack, Endurance was dispatched on a reconnaissance mission to the far reaches of Ec'kack space. Endurance made it successfully to where she was gathering intelligence on an Ec'kack shipyard, however the vessel was discovered and heavily damaged by a fleet of Ec'kack cruisers. 26 of Endurances new were killed in the battle, with the commanding officer James Grundy severely injured.

First Officer Commander Chloe Craine took command of Endurance, and she led the ship on a perilous journey out of Ec'kack space and into safe territory. When she arrived at Manacor, Endurance was escorted back to Ikarus for major repairs by Avenger (XC-01) and Trident. Captain James Grundy retook command shortly after being discharged from the ship's medical bay.

Propulsion
Endurance was designed as a rapid response heavy cruiser, and was therefore heavily armed. Endurance was fitted with an upgraded warp engine capable of a maximum speed of warp 6.6, although currently the vessel rarely exceeds warp 5.

Interior layout
The XC-class has 7 decks, numbered 1 to 7. Most of the crew quarters are located on decks 2, 3, 4 and 5. Guest quar ters are located on decks 4 and 7. Engineering is located on deck 4, whilst sickbay and the mess hall are located on deck 5. The armoury is located on deck 6.

Tactical systems
Endurance is fitted with 12 Type XII cannons and 7 torpedo launchers (4 fore, 3 aft). The ship is also fitted with deflector shields and a grappler for towing. Endurance has 16 weapons lockers onboard, fitted with standard crew arnament pulse rifles.

Crew
Like all other XC-class vessels, Endurance carries a crew of 96. On Endurance, around 40% of the crew is female, which is the highest percentage of female crew members on any Stormfleet vessel. There are 36 officers on board whilst the remaining 60 crew are enlisted. The marine detachment is included in this number.
