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 Gypris 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 Musia class chassis, 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 contigent, five single-barrel main gun turrets, one main two-barrel turret, and two mega particle guns. Like the AEUG'sIrish class ships, the Endra and her sister ships do not seem to have any anti-aircraft defense, meaning they probobly rely heavily on their own mobile suits for defense against enemy mobile suits.
The Endra class was utalized throughout the Gypris conflict and into the first Neo-Zeon war. The Endra was lost in battle near the Moon Moon colony, while the exact fate of the rest of the class is unknown.
The first Salamis-Class Cruisers were launched in conjunction with the Magellan-Class Battleships as part of the Earth Federal Space Force's "'70s Armament Reinforcement Plan" in U.C. They were armed with conventional weaponry: six main cannon turrets, six two-barrel machine gun turrets for anti-fighter (and later anti-mobile suit) defense, and two six-cell external missile launchers.
Although the Salamis class would suffer even more causalities throughout the remainder of the war, they proved to be more effective when used in conjunction with mobile suits, which would play a role in the Salamis Kai design a few years later.
The design of the Salamis-Class Cruiser 0083 Refit was heavily modified, with additional beam weaponry (including three double-barreled beam cannon turrets, a first for the Salamis class), AA/AMS defense, increased missile capability (the six-cell launchers were exchanged for larger 15-cell launchers, eight internal VLS cells, and larger engines.
