SHIP DATA -- U.S.S. EXCALIBUR NCC 2004 - B

 

Computer access granted. Code ALPHA - GAMMA - 13372 verified and accepted.

 

The following information is provided by the United Federation of Planets. In reference to the long range exploration vessel currently holding the registry of NCC-2004-B, Sovereign class. This information is sensitive and should not be discussed with persons outside Star Fleet Command.

 

The U.S.S. Excalibur B is the second ship in its name sake. The predecessor to the B, a long range scientific vessel, Excelsior class, renamed the Lindbergh class for its unique features. Details on this class can be read in the "Ship's History" section of this document. The Excalibur A was experimental in its design, and now the Excalibur B has continued that tradition.

 

The Excalibur B has been designed with all the standard features associated with the Sovereign class vessel, but has been given added features not available during the early models. The Sovereign class bridge has been modified from the early class starships and allows for, four major stations to become freestanding consoles.

 

On the wall directly behind the commanding officer is a computer - linked schematic of the ship that is constantly updated. When on the bridge, the chief engineer can monitor activity in engineering, or initiate many engineering commands from this station.

 

The crew member assigned to tactical stands at the freestanding console behind the captain, to his right as he faces the main view screen. To the right of tactical is another freestanding console, the science station. The crew member assigned to this station is seated.

 

The con and Ops stations are still in their familiar positions at the front of the bridge; the crew member at con is responsible for navigation and piloting, and the Ops officer is responsible for allocating the ship's resources such as power, equipment, and personnel. Ship's sensors can also be read from this duty station. Control of the main computer can be locked out from the Ops position.

 

The following is the technical data pertinent to the U.S.S. Excalibur NCC 2004 - B:

Shuttle craft: 4 drone, 2 long-range (Type 9), 5 personal shuttle (Type 6), 2 experimental

Maximum Speed: Maximum sustained velocity 9.9446 for 8 hours 13 minutes 17 seconds.

Emergency Warp: Maximum emergency velocity 9.9995 for 4 hours 47 minutes 02 seconds.

Armamament:

Phaser Arrays: 12 primary arrays. Dorsal, Ventral, Pylon, Drive dorsal, Drive ventral and hull.

Maximum plasma yield, 10.2 megawatts. Type XII Phaser.

Torpedoes:

1 Rapid fire quantum torpedo tubes

4 Type 4 burst fire tubes

4 Standard photon torpedo tubes

250 Quantam torpedoes, 300 standard photon high yield torpedoes.

Primary launch system located above deflector dish.

Probes: 20 class V, 20 class VI, 20 class IX

Shields: Standard graviton emitted, Reflective harmonic rotation and Metaphasic.

Shield Capacity: 8.7 x 10e7 kW.

Deflector Capacity: 1692 MW graviton load.

 

There are many added features with the Excalibur B. There are two new shield subroutines integrated into the main computer core's central hub. One of which is already used by some vessels. This is Metaphasic shielding. Allowing Starships to enter areas of extreme temperatures not tolerated by normal graviton shielding. The other shield routine is Reflective shield rotation. This allows the shielding to modulate and compensate for tractor beams and other forms of energy weapons used for targeting or capture.

 

The Excalibur B also has some internal modifications. The Bio-Neural Gel packs are compensated with Nanite packs. These packs help to offset repair functions controlled by the computer. They perform routine maintenance procedures on ODN and EPS conduits and allow for more accurate information and data when there are emergency situations. Nanite packs are not primary data networks and do not replace gel packs, but help to offset the gel packs when performing certain engineering functions.

 

Our Holo-emitter system is also one of a kind. The ship is outfitted with holo-emitters that allow for emergency medical procedures, but also allow for modifications to key areas of bridge and crew stations. The holo-emitters allow for the console to be reconfigured in an instant to perform the function the bridge member needs. It not only reconfigures the outlay, but it also reconfigures the internal circuitry and processors that are needed for the task at hand.

 

The latest in designs for computer cores has also been implemented in this class vessel. The SISO system is designed for more automation of ship functions and uses a bipolar isolinear positronic matrix for the processor. It allows for more computations then standard computer cores and relieves most of the automated functions needed for emergency situations.

 

Additionaly, the Excalibur-B has been fitted with a Romulan-Designed, Federation Built Romulan Cloaking Device for usage in the Gamma Quadrant.

 

As of SD 0508.07, the USS Excalibur-B has been ordered to be towed to Antares Shipyard in the Gamma Quadrant pending mothballing.

Ship's History: U.S.S. EXCALIBUR NCC-2004-A

 

United Alliance of Planets

Star Fleet Long Range Exploration Division

Star Fleet Command

 

The upgraded "Excelsior"-type deep-space exploration vessel of the "Lindbergh" class completed test trials on Stardate 9209.22 under the auspices of Star Fleet Engineering, Commander Onibur SkyWalker in command.

 

The Lindbergh Class prototype was fundamentally identical to the Excelsior Class in primary and secondary structure and layout, a class which has seen service for 88 years. This particular production model incorporated the Galaxy-Type VII warp drive nacelles and power generation units and an upgraded structural integrity field generator.

 

The Lindbergh Class prototype was also equipped with a modular-type bridge, fitted with a Galaxy-B category bridge module and computer interface. This highly popular and successful command center type was to be the standard for all future designs.

Other data:

The auxiliary bridge was relocated in center-hub at the central computer core. An alternate auxiliary bridge was also placed in the engineering hull and configured as a tactical center. Because of the planned scientific and exploratory nature of ship assignment, upgraded medical and laboratory facilities plus an entire planetary sciences division and xenobiology unit were installed. Power storage modifications also extended the ship's effective time/range ratio by x.6/3 plus supplement shield and sensor capabilities (see above data for specifications). More information on the Upgraded Excelsior/Lindbergh Class vessel and exploration modifications can be found in Spacefleet Publication 4/4654.92. Certain operational capabilities of the prototype Lindbergh Class starship are still classified by order of Spacefleet Operations. Special modular units were incorporated for easy exchange of critical engineering components and the addition of supplementary scientific, engineering and tactical equipment. An additional pylon hardpoint was installed for testing of a third pylon/nacelle unit. The modification was left intact as future, long range missions may dictate for additional warp power. The additional conduit/pylon hard point attachment was available to configure the main hull section for autonomous warp power and operations in an emergency detachment.

 

NOTE: The Lindbergh Class prototype was NOT equipped for routine saucer separation. The saucer section could separate ONLY in extreme emergency for use as a lifeboat and could sustain impulse speeds and life support for periods of up to 120 days depending on fuel and expendable depletion levels above optimal ratings. Once detached, reattachment could be accomplished ONLY at a specially equipped Spacefleet maintenance facility.
