1.0 INTRODUCTION TO NCC-2000
|
|
The USS Excelsior is the Federation's newest Battleship.
|
|
With it's state-of-the-art TransWarp Drive and M-8 computer,
|
|
Excelsior is proven to be the most powerful, fastest and most
|
|
heavily armed ship ever constructed.
|
|
Now commanded by Captain Hiraku Sulu, the Excelsior has just
|
|
finished it's 3-year voyage exploring the Renevarian sector of
|
|
the Beta-Alpha quadrant. It was just refitted and now going on a
|
|
8-year mission. This ship, along side the USS Enterprise
|
|
(Enterprise class) played a vital role with the success of the
|
|
Khitomer conference.
|
|
|
|
1.1 MISSION OUTLINE
|
|
|
|
Excelsior is designed as a cruiser and explorer as well as a
|
|
battleship. If a hostile situation rises, Excelsior is heavy
|
|
armed and well equipped of powerful Phasers and Photon Torpedoes.
|
|
Normally, Excelsior is a Mark XIII Heavy Crusier with an enormous
|
|
sensor capacity.
|
|
|
|
1.2 DEVELOPMENT OF NX-2000
|
|
|
|
On September 16, 2278 the devolpment of the most powerful
|
|
ship was approved by Starfleet and began designing the NX-2000, a
|
|
prototype starship with a unique propulsion system that will be
|
|
able to break the Warp 10 barrier with ease. Here is a summary on
|
|
how the construction proceeded=
|
|
|
|
2278- Excelsior project approved, Design centers begin working on
|
|
design.
|
|
2279- Design work continues, Dr. Mornay, Sarda and Perren begin
|
|
work on TransWarp Drive.
|
|
2280- Design work finished, construction of space-frame begins in
|
|
Antares Ship Yards.
|
|
2281- Space-frame completed, Hull construction begins, TransWarp
|
|
design completed and is beginning construction on Computer cores,
|
|
TransWarp engines and Impulse drive.
|
|
2282- Hull construction completed, all systems beginning
|
|
construction.
|
|
2283- Ship construction completed, tests begin on new technology.
|
|
2284- Testing continues, TransWarp Drive is sabotaged by
|
|
Enterprise. TransWarp drive repaired and completed.
|
|
2285- Trial runs, Excelsior breaks Warp 10 barrier and breaks the
|
|
speed record set by USS Enterprise at Warp 16.
|
|
2286- Excelsior is Commissioned, Misc. Assignments
|
|
2288- Excelsior given to Sulu at given it's registry number=
|
|
NCC-2000. 3-year mission begins.
|
|
2291- Excelsior returns from 3-year mission. Khitomer confrence
|
|
insident. Refit begins.
|
|
2292- Excelsior finishes refit, now undergoing a 8-year
|
|
exploration mission of the Unknown areas of space beyond the
|
|
boundries of Alpha-Quadrant.
|
|
2300- Excelsior Returns fro 8-year mission, refit begins.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.0 SPACECRAFT STRUCTURE
|
|
|
|
The Excelsior's structure is well-designed and very strong.
|
|
|
|
2.1 SKELETAL STRUCTURE AND DESIGN
|
|
|
|
Excelsior uses a tritanium\duranium interlocking skeleton
|
|
structure and is plated over with a tritanium\titanium\duranium
|
|
filaments that weave together giving it an enormously strong
|
|
armor. This armor can withstand Phaser blasts and will have
|
|
little damage done from Photon Torpedoes.
|
|
|
|
2.2 HULL LAYERS AND MATERIALS
|
|
|
|
The outermost of the hull is a tritanium\titanium\duranium
|
|
alloy that weaves and interlocks with each other. On the outer
|
|
surface of this plating is the Deflector shield grid that
|
|
projects a material of diburnium\osmium that acts as a solid. The
|
|
next is electon bonded duranium, then the radiation attenuation
|
|
which provides protection from radiation in space. Thermal
|
|
insulation and tritanium truss framework follow. The innermost is
|
|
a ceramic fabric chemically bonded with tritanium foil.
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
3.0 COMMAND SYSTEMS
|
|
|
|
These follow= Bridge, Auxiliary Control, and Main
|
|
Engineering.
|
|
|
|
3.1 BRIDGE
|
|
|
|
The main bridge is located in deck 1 on top of the saucer
|
|
section. Going left from the viewing screen there are= Weapons
|
|
sub systems, Environmental, Turbo-Lift, Sciences and Library
|
|
Computer, Tactical, Master Situation, Tactical, Communications,
|
|
Turbo-Lift, Engineering, and Navigational sub systems. In front
|
|
of the commanding officer is the Helm and Navigation stations.
|
|
Here are the stations and there functions-
|
|

|
|
and course controls. It also has access to a navigational
|
|
computer.
|
|
HELM- This controls all ship movement and control.
|
|
NAVIGATION- this controls all course plotting.
|
|
|
|
3.2 AUXILIARY CONTROL
|
|
|
|
Located on Decks 8 and 19, these control rooms operate the
|
|
same functions as the main bridge. These rooms are used in heavy
|
|
combat or the main bridge is unihabital.
|
|
|
|
3.3 MAIN ENGINEERING
|
|
|
|
Located on decks 20,21, and 22, Main Engineering controls
|
|
all Excelsior's systems and power distribution. Deck 20 is mainly
|
|
for the control of the ship's engines, Deck 21 is for
|
|
Environmental and life-support systems and 22 for everything
|
|
else.
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
4.0 COMPUTER SYSTEMS
|
|
|
|
There are 2 computer cores on the Excelsior, 1 in the
|
|
primary hull, and 1 in the secondary. These computers contain all
|
|
known information of the federation. It also controls all systems
|
|
and sub-systems.
|
|
|
|
4.1 SYSTEM AND OPERATIONS
|
|
|
|
The M-8 computer is designed exclusively for the Excelsior
|
|
to control it's new TransWarp drive and systems. It is a monster
|
|
computer, the largest ever constructed. It is also the most
|
|
advanced.
|
|
|
|
4.2 DESIGN AND MISCELLANEOUS OPERATIONS
|
|
|
|
With a response time at the speed of light, there is no
|
|
longer the computer voice; "Working.....". The response time is
|
|
instantaneous. The Billions of Megabytes contain all Knowledge.
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
5.0 TRANSWARP PROPULSION SYSTEMS
|
|
|
|
TransWarp is the newest is Warp technology. It has changed
|
|
the course of the federation. Although the concepts of this
|
|
engine is poorly understood, some say the designer's aren't for
|
|
sure. Excelsior's TransWarp Drive is a FTWA class. They weigh
|
|
78,000 metric tons each.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.1 TRANSWARP THEORY AND APPLICATION
|
|
|
|
TransWarp drive was invented by Dr. Mornay and the Vulcan
|
|
physicists Sarda and Perren. They invented a small TransWarp
|
|
drive using Trilythium crystals and transporter technology. When
|
|
they tested it with a computer, they found that ship would be
|
|
propelled to an amazing Warp 14. They were astonished because
|
|
this speed had never been reached. They provided their notes to
|
|
Shuvinaaljis Warp Technologies and produced 2 FTWA which were
|
|
mounted on the Excelsior.
|
|
The basic theory of how the TransWarp drive really works is
|
|
this= The engines and transporters work in Tandem. Basically, the
|
|
ship puts a transporter field around the ship's engines, which
|
|
have the ability to use this field in conjunction with the Warp
|
|
Envelope, with the ship in effect beaming itself ahead in the
|
|
Envelope. As long as the transporter field is activated the ship
|
|
can attend phenomenal speeds, reaching Warp 23 in an emergency
|
|
and Warp 20 for a indefinite cruising time. The Transporter
|
|
technology is similar to the Personnel and Cargo transporters,
|
|
the field generator mounted in the Nacelles is much larger than
|
|
has ever been constructed.
|
|
|
|
Warp 11- 1,331c Warp 17- 4,913c Warp 23- 12,167c
|
|
Warp 12- 1,728c Warp 18- 5,832c
|
|
Warp 13- 2,197c Warp 19- 6,859c
|
|
Warp 14- 2,744c Warp 20- 8,000c
|
|
Warp 15- 3,375c Warp 21- 9,261c
|
|
Warp 16- 4,096c Warp 22- 10,648c
|
|
|
|
5.2 MATTER\ANTIMATTER REACTION ACCEMBLY
|
|
|
|
To provide the TransWarp drive with it's Energy, the
|
|
Designer's had to come up with a new kind of M\AM reactor to
|
|
fulfill it's power needs. So the designer's came up with a new
|
|
Reactor that would create much more power than the previous
|
|
transfer conduits. This new reactor would place the Deuterium
|
|
tank in the upper secondary hull and the AntiMatter tanks in the
|
|
bottom of the secondary hull. The reactor would transfer the
|
|
matter and antimatter together to meet in the Trilythium reactor.
|
|
This energy is transferred to the EPS power distribution center
|
|
were then it is transferred in conduits to the TransWarp engines.
|
|
|
|
5.3 TRILYTHIUM CRYSTALS
|
|
|
|
Trilythium is the only known substance that can be used with
|
|
the TransWarp Drive. Dilithium, the normal fuel reactant for the
|
|
Warp Drive, will not the TransWarp drive operate. Although this
|
|
is Unknown why the TWPS make this so, some experts say that it's
|
|
molecular pattern disrupts the Transporter field Generator.
|
|
Trilythium is so rare, that many people have never heard of it.
|
|
Trilythium is found on vey few planets in the known galaxy. It's
|
|
molecular pattern is Undetermined.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.4 NACELLES AND TRANSWARP ENGINE
|
|
|
|
In the front of the nacelle is the Hydrogen\Bussard ramscoop
|
|
that transfers Hydrogen atoms into power. The rest of the nacelle
|
|
is were the standard warp engines are. In the aft-end of the
|
|
nacelle it where the TransWarp Transporter Field Generator is
|
|
mounted. Outlining the Warp Field Grid is the Transporter field
|
|
outputters. This projects the Warp Field Envelope and the
|
|
Transporter field that surrounds the Engines. The TransWarp
|
|
Engine is mostly made up of pure Nuetronium, the strongest known
|
|
element.
|
|
|
|
5.5 FUEL\STORAGE\GENERATION
|
|
|
|
The USS Excelsior uses Deuterium and Anti-Duetrium to create
|
|
it's enormous power needs. When Matter (Deuterium) collides with
|
|
Anti-Matter (Anti-Duetrium) it totally annihilates, producing
|
|
energetic gamma rays. Other Anti-particles and Particles pairs
|
|
produce sub-atomic particles and energy. Anti-matter is stored is
|
|
Electromagnetic tanks within the secondary hull of the Excelsior.
|
|
The Deuterium (as with the Anti-Duetrium) is stored in a plasma
|
|
("slush") state in a very large tank contained in the secondary
|
|
hull. If emergency fuel is needed, and the Excelsior is too far
|
|
away from a StarBase or a Fuel tanker, it can generate Deuterium
|
|
by collecting Hydrogen atoms, or it can use it's Anti-matter
|
|
generator to generate small amounts of fuel. This is only for an
|
|
emergency for it cannot generate enough to run a long period of
|
|
time (more than 3 days).
|
|
|
|
5.6 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
|
|
|
|
If the TransWarp drive has sustained enough damage, they can
|
|
be shutdown or jettisoned at a rate of 150 meters\second. After
|
|
shutdown, all personnel attempting to repair damage within the
|
|
Nacelle are required to wear Rad Suits. The M\AM reactor can be
|
|
jettisoned, but only in a life-threating situation. Usually,
|
|
shutdown is the best way, for the M\AM reactor fuels the entire
|
|
starship.
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
6.0 IMPULSE PROPULSION SYSTEMS
|
|
|
|
All principal Sublight propulsion and auxiliary power
|
|
generating operations are handled by the Impulse Engines. Fed by
|
|
Fusion Reactors, the Impulse Drive moves the Excelsior to .9125
|
|
times the speed of light. The class of the Impulse Drive is
|
|
FIG-2.
|
|
|
|
6.1 IMPULSE DRIVE
|
|
|
|
Using Deuterium and Fusion Reactors, the Excelsior produces
|
|
power to drive the ship SubLight speeds. The Impulse moves the
|
|
ship when it is not in the TransWarp field. The Impulse engines
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
also produce Auxiliary power for emergency uses. Although this
|
|
not enough power to run the TransWarp drive, but it can provide a
|
|
short punch of energy to run the Warp Drive for 3.2321673 hours.
|
|
|
|
6.2 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
|
|
|
|
If the Fusion Reactor is damaged, it can be shutdown and
|
|
repaired. Jettising the Impulse Drive can be done, but as with
|
|
the TransWarp drive, only in life-threating situations.
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
7.0 MISCELLANEOUS SYSTEMS
|
|
|
|
This is on all the other systems on the Excelsior.
|
|
|
|
7.1 NAVIGATIONAL DEFLECTOR
|
|
|
|
The Navigational Deflector is a "Shield" that protects the
|
|
Excelsior from derbis, asteroids, etc. Using Graviton Polarity
|
|
Source Generators, the flux energy output neutralizes all
|
|
material infront of the Excelsior. This also acts as the Main
|
|
Sensor Dish and can scan with enormous detail and accuracy.
|
|
|
|
7.2 LIFE-SUPPORT
|
|
|
|
Life-Support is what produces the gravity, air, water, food
|
|
and light to keep us alive. It is the most durable system, for it
|
|
can keep going even if there is very little power. The Graviy
|
|
generators produce the gravity (at .92 g's), the air-replicators
|
|
recycle the the air, the water generator produces the water, and
|
|
the food-replicators produce food.
|
|
|
|
7.3 PHASERS
|
|
|
|
Phasers are PHASed Energy Rectifacation, which use energy as
|
|
a weapon. The Excelsior's phaser banks, Type FH-11 are the most
|
|
powerful in Starfleet. There are 8 of them in banks of 5 each.
|
|
They are located at= 2 front port, 2 front starboard, 2 front, 2
|
|
aft. They can be Pulse or Steady-Stream, Thin or Wide, Stun,
|
|
Heat, Disrupt, Dematerialize, or Explode settings. There are also
|
|
8 FH-5 banks that provide more protection.
|
|
|
|
7.4 PHOTON TORPEDOES
|
|
|
|
Photon Torpedoes are Matter\AntiMatter Explosion device that
|
|
can be used at Warp Velocities. They contain Deuterium and
|
|
Anti-Duetrium held in suspension, and when the torpedo hits the
|
|
target, the field is released and annihilation occurs with an
|
|
enormous impact. The PhoTorp, was originally developed by the
|
|
Romulans, is the Federation's best weapon. It can be used at Warp
|
|
velocities. Excelsior's type is FP-4, with 6 banks, 1 front, 2
|
|
front port, 2 front starboard, 1 aft.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.5 SHIELDS
|
|
|
|
Defensive Shields, like the Navigational Deflector, use
|
|
Graviton Polarity Generators. These generators produce a
|
|
Diburnium\Osmium that acts as a solid. But, when it is hit by a
|
|
weapon, it dissipates. If the shields are hit too many and too
|
|
much times, the Deflector Shields will fail. Diburnium and Osmium
|
|
were discovered at StarDate 5978.2, this substance was created by
|
|
the lost Kaladan race, and was recorded by science officer Spock.
|
|
Type FSS.
|
|
|
|
7.6 TRACTOR BEAMS
|
|
|
|
Tractor Beams are designed to pull an object to or hold it
|
|
in place. If the object is bigger than the Excelsior, it will
|
|
pull the Excelsior closer to it. Tractor Beams employ
|
|
Superimposed Subspace\Gravaton force beam. There are 3 Tractor
|
|
Beams on the Excelsior, 2 to the front, 1 in the rear.
|
|
|
|
7.7 TRANSWARP RADIO
|
|
|
|
TransWarp radio is the only practical way to send a
|
|
transmission. The Excelsior will easily outrun normal sub-space
|
|
transmissions, so the TransWarp Radio was designed, tested and
|
|
approved. It is similar to sub-space radio, but this radio uses
|
|
Ionized Graviton Flux Transmissions (IGFT). The IGFT uses a High
|
|
frequency and travels around 18,000c, an enormous speed. But even
|
|
at that speed, a transmission may take days, even weeks if the
|
|
ship is far out enough.
|
|
|
|
7.8 SENSORS
|
|
|
|
The Sensors aboard the Excelsior are the most accurate,
|
|
detailed and sophisticated ever designed. They include
|
|
everything= heat, light, radiation, spectral and thermal, life,
|
|
physical, spectro, flux, gamma, graviton, stellar, particle,
|
|
sub-space, quark, sub-atomic, photon, optical, and magnetic. With
|
|
all these sensors, Excelsior is the most advanced starship ever
|
|
constructed.
|
|
|
|
7.9 TRANSPORTER
|
|
|
|
Transporter is the only practical way to transport away from
|
|
the ship. The Transporter is what makes the TransWarp Drive work.
|
|
Objects are recorded, dematerialized, transported and reassembled
|
|
at the destination. There are 6 personnel(6), 6 emergency (22),
|
|
and 3 cargo transporters on the Excelsior. Unfortunately, the
|
|
Transporter can't be used in TransWarp or through Shields.
|
|
|
|
8.0 MISCELLANEOUS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
8.1 SHUTTLEBAYS AND SHUTTLECRAFT
|
|
|
|
The ShuttleBay is located on top of the secondary hull. It
|
|
uses a forcefield to keep in the ship's atmosphere while the
|
|
shuttlebay doors are open. It also has a tractor beam that locks
|
|
on and pulls in the ShuttleCraft. On the Excelsior, there are a
|
|
total of 20 ShuttleCraft, here are the types- Type 15, 16, 6, and
|
|
7. There are also 7 work bees for ExtraVechilar work.
|
|
|
|
8.2 CREW-SUPPORT
|
|
|
|
Each person on board the Excelsior has 90 square meters of
|
|
living space. This is luxurious, compared to most other
|
|
starships. Crew Quarters consists of a sleeping area with a
|
|
Queen-size bed, a dresser, a Walk-in closet and shelves; living
|
|
area with a table, a booth, food-dispencers, a work area with a

|
|
facilities and equipment. The finest in Starfleet, there is the
|
|
Intensive Care Units, the Examination room, ICP unit, Operating
|

|
|
games including Racquetball courts, Volleyball courts, Tennis and
|
|
Badminton courts and a Bowling Alley; 4 Simulation rooms that
|
|

|
|
Botanical Garden with many varieties of Trees, Flowers, Plants,
|
|
Fish and Animals. There are also 6\3-d theaters with movies from
|
|

|
|
|
|
8.5 TURBO-LIFTS
|
|
|
|
Turbo-lifts on the Excelsior are Voice-Activated and will
|
|
take the user under 10 seconds to reach any destination.
|
|
|
|
8.6 MODES
|
|
|
|
There are typically 5 modes on the Excelsior-
|
|
Cruise Mode- Normal Operations
|
|
Yellow Alert- Alert Operations
|
|
Red Alert- Emergency Operations
|
|
External Support Mode- Docked at Starbase
|
|
Reduced Power Mode- When power drops below 26% of Normal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
8.7 EMERGENCY OPERATIONS\SELF-DESTRUCT
|
|
|
|
If the hull aboard the Excelsior is punctured, safety doors
|
|
aboard the Excelsior will automatically close and seal until
|
|
repairs can be made. If a person or persons are trapped between 2
|
|
safety doors, there is enough food, water and air to support them
|
|
until help arrives. If the Excelsior gets into Enemy hands, it
|
|
can be self-destructed by the code of the Captain, 1st Officer
|
|
and the Chief Engineer. There are 3 different modes of
|
|
self-destructing, here they are-
|
|
Code 1- All Matter and Antimatter come together to create an
|
|
enormous fireball that will engulf any near planets, ships or
|
|
moons.
|
|
Code 2- The AntiMatter tanks are ejected and the explosive
|
|
bolts throughout the ship will destroy the ship.
|
|
Code 3- AntiMatter tanks are ejected and the ship's bolts
|
|
destroy some of it, the rest to crash on a planet, star or moon.
|
|
|
|
8.8 SHIP CONSTRUCTION
|
|
|
|
There are currently 94 Excelsiors commissioned. In gratitude
|
|
for the Khitomer conference, a Excelsior-class ship will be
|
|
registered as NCC-1701-B in honor of the USS Enterprise. Ships
|
|
constructed are listed in the appendix. Currently there are 94.

APPENDIX 1 SHIP HISTORY
|
|
|
|
On StarDate 2/2210, the first of the new battleships, the
|
|
USS Excelsior, was commissioned. This vessel is the newest in
|
|
Star Fleet, and it incorporates many experimental operating
|
|
systems. Since that time, 93 more have been commissioned. All
|
|
these Battleships are being constructed at Sol III and IV
|
|
shipyards.
|
|
The Excelsior has been called "The Great Experiment" by many
|
|
in influencial circles. These ships are the newest of any in Star
|
|
Fleet and incorporate experimental technology in most of its
|
|
components required to operate a warship. With so many new
|
|
systems aboard these vessels, the process of testing them has
|
|
been slow. Prior to being installed, each component has been
|
|
tested and re-tested until it met standards. Nevertheless, when
|
|
the USS Excelsior was taken out for trials, the evaluation teams
|
|
were constantly faced with primary system malfunctions that would
|
|
not allow any of the secondary or back-up systems to be tested.
|
|
This caused the evaluators to deal with these new components on a
|
|
one-at-a-time basis, and thus creating time delays in
|
|
commissioning of the class.
