This small, standard Light Cruiser endured for several decades as principally a Surveyor and Science Vessel. After deep space telescopes initially plot an area of space -its star systems and nebulae- such vessels as these take on 1 or 2 year missions to chart and survey specifically targeted regions. Surveying uninhabited M-Class, or other class worlds are a Surveyor's principal agenda. Ancillary duties may involve scouting for dilithium deposits, and researching astronomical phenomena.

-These registries are more advanced than the Excelsior Class which was commissioned a year later, but this is because I speculate the prototype Excelsior's registry of NCC 2000 was registered some years before it was actually launched. This could be due to the long experimental phase the vessel went through regarding its transwarp technology. It may be possible that the Excelsior Class was actually developed in the 2270's, before being finally brought into active service in 2384 after transwarp was declared a failure...
KEY
| O= Operational |
| OR= Operational after Refit or Repairs |
| DD= In Drydock for repairs or refit * |
| T= Training Vessel |
| U= Under construction prior to preliminary trials |
| D= Destroyed |
| Sc= Scrapped or Decommissioned |
| PD= Presumed Destroyed |
| M= Missing |
*A ship would visit drydock for many reasons, including refits, repairs, servicing upgrades, preliminary trials and testing of new components, and spacedock for similar reasons, as well as crew rotation, reassignment, prep period before redeployment, and so forth.
As this class is only of my own speculation, all specs and stats appearing here are hypothetical. The explanations about this data, such as ship designations, weapons, offensive power etc, see Spec Definitions.
