Tachyon detection network activated

The Endeavor in the tachyon detection grid, 2368

The USS Excalibur (NCC-26517) was a 24th century Federation Ambassador-class starship operated by Starfleet.

In 2365, Captain Al Smutko was the commanding officer of this ship. In that year, this ship was assigned a patrol mission of the Neutral Zone in Sector 130. The ship was named on the Starship Deploy Status chart in the Starbase 173 courtroom. (TNG: "The Measure Of A Man", okudagram)

The Excalibur survived an attack by the Borg during a night shift sometime prior to late 2368. Several members of the crew, including Marika Wilkarah, were assimilated in the encounter. (VOY: "Survival Instinct")

In 2368, the Excalibur was undergoing a major refit and repair at Starbase 234. The ship was selected by Captain Jean-Luc Picard to serve in a Starfleet blockade of the Klingon-Romulan border during the Klingon Civil War. During that mission, Commander William T. Riker was the commanding officer, with Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge as his first officer. This was because the majority of the crew had been reassigned due to the extent of the refit. The ship's name and registry were named on the tachyon detection grid. (TNG: "Redemption II", okudagram)
