U.S.S. Excalibur[1]
The Excalibur, NCC-1664,[Notes 1] was a Constitution class cruiser commissioned on Reference Stardate 1/8901 (January 2246).[Notes 2] The Excalibur was refit to Mark III specifications on Reference Stardate 2/0402 (February 2262).[2] Commanded by Captain Harris,[3] the Excalibur was destroyed[2] and all personnel killed during a disastrous war-game drill with the M-5 computer in 2268.[1]
Notes
- ↑ The "Star Fleet Technical Manual" lists the Excalibur's registry as NCC-1705; this contradicts the NCC-1664 registry given on screen, and has been disregarded.
- ↑ FASA game materials referred to events by a FASA-specific dating standard called the "Reference Stardate." All dates taken from FASA sources in this article have been adapted from that notation into standard calendar dates, which are then adjusted for errors in the baseline dates used as reference by the FASA authors. Working with a known, dated event (e.g., the launch of the Constitution class starships), the other dates in the timeline can be adjusted accordingly. FASA sources give the launch of the Constitution class as Reference Stardate 1/8801.04, which translates to the standard caldendar date of 04 January 2188. This has been established on screen, however, as occurring in 2245. As the exact month and date remain unstated in other sources, those remain the same, but the year has been adjusted to 2245, giving a modified date of 04 January 2245. This can then also be converted into the pre-TOS stardate system established in Star Trek (2009), giving us a stardate of 2245.004.
