Changes: USS Excalibur (NCC-1664)

Revision as of 22:04, 17 October 2013

USS Excalibur (NCC-1664) was a Federation Constitution-class heavy cruiser that was in service with Starfleet in the mid-23rd century. In 2268, the Excalibur was commanded by Captain Harris.

In 2268, the Excalibur was assigned to a fleet war games exercise pitting four starships against the USS Enterprise, which was controlled by the revolutionary (but still experimental) M-5 computer. However, when the M-5 malfunctioned, it caused the Enterprise to fire phasers on the Excalibur at full power, when the ship's deflector shields were at minimum intensity. The Excalibur was severely damaged, with all hands lost. (TOS: "The Ultimate Computer")

Background

USS Excalibur (NCC-1664) — Original footage of *Excalibur*

The registry of the Excalibur was not confirmed until it was seen on the CGI model in the 2008 remastering of "The Ultimate Computer". The registry was first connected with the starship in the article The Case of Jonathan Doe Starship by Greg Jein and continued by the Star Trek Concordance and the Star Trek Encyclopedia, the latter edited by future TOS remastered producer Michael Okuda.

In the original version of the episode, a transposed image of the USS Constellation from "The Doomsday Machine" was used to represent the Excalibur after the ship's destruction by M-5.

According to the Star Fleet Technical Manual the registry of the Excalibur was NCC-1705.

According to the Ships of the Line (page 64), the USS Excalibur was commissioned at Tranquility Base, Luna as a Starship-class ship.
