USS Excelsior

The USS Excelsior was a Federation starship and the first of the Federation ships to be given a transwarp beaming drive, allowing it to perform beams and warp jumps at the same time and also making it a lot more maneouverable. The ship itself was heavily armed and armoured and was one of the largest ships in the Federation fleet when it was constructed.

Like its sister ships Enterprise and Voyager, Excelsior was called up to fight the Borg and the Cybermen when both incroached on Federation territory during the Cyberman-Borg War. The Excelsior also took part in the Human-Klingon War.
