Endra class cruiser

In the fictional Gundam universe, the Endra class cruiser is a ship utalized by the Axis Zeon, and later by the Neo Zeon, for Mobile Suit transportation and combat. These ships routinely saw action during the Gryps Conflict, and served as flagships for the ranking member of the Axis Zeon/ Neo Zeon movement.

The class itself seems to be based on the Musai class chassis and can also support and carry the Komusai launch ship, although the Endra class ships share little else in common with the Musai class. The Endra class sports two launch capatults for its mobile suit contingent, five single-barrel main gun turrets, one main two-barrel turret, and two mega particle guns. Like the AEUG's Irish-class battleships, the Endra and her sister ships do not seem to have any anti-aircraft defense, meaning they probably relied heavily on their own mobile suits for defense against enemy mobile suits.

The Endra class was utilized throughout the Gryps conflict and into the first Neo-Zeon war. The Endra was lost in battle near the Moon colony, while the exact fate of the rest of the class is unknown.
