I. The Comissioning of the "New" USS Excelsior NX-2000-B

by Admiral Clements, Former CO, USS Excelsior, SD9611
     By Order Of the United Space Federation, the experimental, one of a kind Ahzdar class vessel is here-by commissioned as the ‘The New’ USS Excelsior NX-2000-B. Starfleet is charged with a comprehensive spectrum of responsibilities to the citizens of the Federation and the lifeforms of the galaxy at large. This mission is always changing as the needs of Starfleet change along with the makeup of the Federation. The Ahzdar class has been design with future technologies, in turn the USS Excelsior will be the most adaptable ship to all events which may arrive. This new vessel is much larger then the older modified Galaxy Class which was destroyed on Stardate 9610.16. Starfleet has done extensive research on the information attained from the USS Excelsior when it was pushed into the 25th century. The scientists have thus, applied that knowledge in the construction of the Ahzdar class starship.            The new vessel has a voluminous amount of maneuverability. The New ship can be described as total package. It will be responsible for a large number of duties. These duties range from mundane domestic and civil missions, to cultural contact and diplomacy to defense, to our primary mission of exploration and research. Many of these responsibilities are best carried out with relatively small, specialized ships. Yet there continues to be an ongoing need for a small number of larger, multimission vehicles that are capable of implementing the complete range of Starfleet's objectives. This need has in fact grown as the volume of relatively unexplored space within the Federation influences continues to expand.

III. Detailed Specifications

a. M-14-B Bio-Neural Computer System

The bio-neural optical data network (ODN) transfer system is based on the common knowledge that biological matter is capable of transmitting data between cells faster than any known form of technology. With this in mind, Starfleet engineers have developed synthetic biological material which, while suspended in a conductive biological gel, has been integrated into the fleet's computer technology. These new ODN materials, which cannot be replicated by matter replication, were coupled with the next generation in data processing, the M-14-B computer system. Together, these two systems became the next generation of shipboard computers.

This new model features faster processing time and a built-in anti-virus subroutine to defend against infection or failure in the bio-neural gelpacks. It was shown that the gelpacks were vulnerable to this type of breakdown, so, in essense, this new system contains the first attempt at an immune system for the computer core. The system has since been upgraded with refined virus protection software that was pioneered in the M-13-C type.

In a standard installation, this system is comprised of three cores; two (port & starboard) main units in the primary hull, and a third backup unit in the secondary hull. The port and starboard cores primarily handle the day-to-day operations of the ship and it's systems, while the third core serves as a backup and handles the extra needs of the engineering and science departments as well.

Also included in this new M-14 unit is the option for interaction with computer. We feel that this may be the closest thing to a positronic system this decade. The computer can actually help upgrade itself, repair itself, etc. The intelligance level of computer, however is minimal.

b. Tactical Multi-tasking

Simultaneous multitasking allows the ship to fire more than one type of weapons at once. It sends weapon signals along diverted routes so that they don't cross each other and confuse themselves. The multitasking system is the main program which runs tactical.

The "fire at will" system gives the ship total control of strategy in the battle situations. It is a "last chance" system, designed so that the ship locks onto all enemy targets and fires continuous barrage until either the enemy desists, the enemy is destroyed, or the ship which is operating "fire at will" is destroyed. This system is controlled by the multitasking system.

Tactical analysis of all systems is a function which gives analysis' of all systems to speed operation of the weapons system. A screen on the panel of the new tactical layout in the middle is the display for the analysis. It gives the tactical officer free will to get information when needed. This system is controlled by the multitasking system.

The newest addition to the multitasking system is a new weapon targeting system. The system will display a grid on the tactical panel which will give you the configuration of the enemy vessel. You can use this system to zone in on one area you would like to fire on. It will lock the weapon you specify and the amount of discharge and power, and fire. This makes it easier, so you do not need to reconfigure the weapons system manually. This new system will do that for you.

c. Shields and Deflectors

The deflector system is the primary defensive system on all classes of starships. It is a series of powerful deflector shields that protect both the spacecraft and its crew from both natural and artificial hazards. The technology made to create the Excelsior's deflector system at this time is still unknown and is puzzling some of Starfleet’s finest technical officers.

Like most force field devices, the deflector system creates a localized zone of highly focused spatial distortion within which an energetic graviton field is maintained. The deflector field itself is emitted and shaped by a series of conformal transmission grids on the spacecraft exterior, resulting in a field that closely follows the form of the vehicle itself. The field is highly resistive due to mechanical incursions ranging from relativistic subatomic particles to more massive objects at lesser relative velocities. When such an intrusion occurs, field energy is concentrated at the point of impact, creating an intense, localized spatial.

To an observer aboard the Excelsior, it appears that the intruding objects energy has been absorbed into the shield. After many months of researching the ‘Old Excelsiors’ trip into the future, scientists have been able to replicate the shileding used in that time period. The Excelsior is able to channel power into the shield actually increasing its power. This is often perceived as a brief blue flash. The deflector is also effective against wide range of electromagnetic, nuclear, and other radiated and field energies.

The metaphasic shield was introduced about 5 years ago by a Ferengi scientist. However, with the new research it makes the metaphasic shield seem obsolete. The only problem with this new shield is after heavy fire, the absobed energy can overload the energy transformation devices.

d. Cloaking System

The old Excelsior was the first class of starship using a cloaking device in starfleet. The cloaking device this ship uses is the phase cloaking device which was being tested in the mid 24th century. It is also equiped with a holographic cloaking system coupled with EMSM (electromagnetic spectrum manipulator).

e. Science


Excelsior is equipped with one of the largest observation rooms ever designed. This room, located on the main hull, directly under the Science Labs, is equipped to with the most advanced Science Stations in Starfleet. With the capability of displaying information to 35 separate terminals and 4 view screens, this room serves as the main research point for any scientific mission. The observation room is designed for scientists and observers to run experiments during a mission. This room can also serve as the bridge of the Excelsior in case of a emergency.

f. Main Bridge Layout


Command Module: The Command Module is located at the Center of the Bridge. It consists of four computer interface units, three command chairs and two small benches capable of seating two people each. Helm control a Operations is located near the front of the bridge, built into one unit. Directly in from of them is the Primary Visual Display. To the Rear of the bridge there are two turbo-lifts. On the left of the Brisge is access to the captain’s ready room. Also on the right side is trhe area for the Bridge Science & Engineering Officers. Located on the left is cooridor which consists of the Chief Of Security’s Office & the Chief Tactical Office, along with a small Science Office and a bathroom. In ther rear in between the dual turbolifts is the Tactical Station, along with a station for environmental controls. Other stations on the bridge are a computer interface for Communications, and a diplomat.
