Starfleet was pleased with the ship, except it's maneuverability. The entire ship went through hundreds of Shake-down tests, including ships sensors, science labs and tactical systems. The construction of the Excalibur was at top priority it was been done behind closed doors with only a few high ranking officer such as Commodore Martha Mcbeath and Captain Alexander Jacobson knowing about it.īy 2288, construction of the Excalibur was complete. In nine months, the Excalibur’s Super Structure was complete and the ships Computer Core was been installed with the new Isolinear Chips.

Starfleet ordered the Excalibur to be put together as fast as possible. In 2285, construction of the USS Excalibur began at San Francisco Fleet Yards. The vessel was to be larger in size, built to endure combat, more efficient sensor array and faster engines. Starfleet ordered a new type of vessel to be built. But after a few years it began to become apparent that the ships had reached their limits of their design.Īs it was obvious that the Nebulas-class vessels were less enduring in strength and capabilities in engagements with enemies such as the Folians and the Jelorans. So by the 2280s, Starfleet Engineers decided to upgrade the vessels. The Excalibur-class project began with the aging Nebulas-class starships.
