The New Republic has centered its much smaller military on carriers. Combat ships are used in the modern Republic Fleets to support and protect carriers. The Endurance carries two Republic wings of starfighters. There is one assault wing with K-Wings and Defenders for close support, and one superiority wing with hyperspace capable long range fighters, used to strike at extended distances. The short range fighters are the carriers main defence, although usually the carrier is defended with a score of screening ships. Its 20 laser cannons are quite effecitve against opposing starfighters and can hold its own against lesser crusiers. Endurance Fleet Carriers are commonly designated as command ships for Republic Fleets-the centerpiece of the battlegroup.
