'''USS ''Excalibur'' (NCC-1664)''' was a {{class|Constitution}} heavy cruiser active in [[Starfleet]] service during the [[23rd century]]. ({{TOS|The Ultimate Computer}})

:''The ''{{mb|Star Fleet Technical Manual}}'' had the registry as NCC-1705.''

''Excalibur''{{'}}s [[commanding officer]], ca. 2252, was [[Captain]] Dmitri Vlasidovich, who was of the same [[Starfleet Academy]] class as [[Christopher Pike]] and ''Hood'' 's then-CO, Michaela Harrari. ({{novel|TOS|The Children of Kings}})

As a junior officer, [[James T. Kirk]] had served on ''Excalibur'' with [[Mike Walsh]], future commanding officer of the second {{class|Constitution}} {{uss|Constellation|NCC-1017}}. ({{novel|TOS|My Enemy, My Ally}})

''Excalibur'''s [[commanding officer|CO]] during the mid-[[2260s]] was [[Captain]] [[Harris (Captain)|Harris]].

:''Some sources list Captain Harris' first name as Thomas, others as Timothy. In [[Star Trek: Excalibur]], it is Anton.''

Terise Haleakala-Lobrutto had been an officer in the Sciences division of ''Excalibur'' but apparently transferred off prior to the M-5 incident. ({{novel|TOS|The Romulan Way}})

In [[2268]], ''Excalibur'' was severely damaged during exercises with the {{uss|Enterprise|NCC-1701}}. The ''Enterprise'', under the control of the malfunctioning [[M-5 computer]], fired its [[phaser]]s at full power easily penetrating the minimally power [[shield]]s of the ''Excalibur'', killing the entire crew. ({{TOS|The Ultimate Computer}})

==Post-refit==
In [[2272]], the ''Excalibur'', along with much of the ''Constitution'' fleet, was refitted. ({{srmv4}})

USS ''Excalibur'', {{uss|El Dorado|NCC-1722}}, and {{uss|Lexington|Constitution class}} were assigned to the [[Starfleet 378th Cruiser Squadron|378th Cruiser Squadron]] in [[2283]] during the [[Klingon Empire]]'s [[Taal Tan Offensive]]. They engaged a battle fleet of nine Klingon vessels. ''Excalibur'' and ''El Dorado'' sustain damages in the attack, but the Klingons were beaten back across the border. (''The Taal Tan Offensive'')

[[Rear Admiral]] Gregory Young commanded ''Excalibur'' -- at the time, deployed to the [[Starfleet Thirteenth Fleet]] -- in [[2286]]. Young had been in command since [[2280]]. (''[[Starfleet International Fan Association|Starfleet]] Communiqué'' 20)

A [[Prime Team]] called the "[[Templars]]" was assigned to ''Excalibur''. ({{TFGUFP}})

The ''Excalibur'' was finally decommissioned in [[2297]]. ({{srmv4}})

[[Lieutenant]] [[Amanda Beck]], Starbase 6's [[science officer]], and ''Excalibur'' [[executive officer]] [[James Laws]], had dated years prior to the M-5 Incident.

[[Commodore]]s [[Alexander Enwright|Enwright]] and [[Robert Wesley|Wesley]] were recalled to [[Sector 001]] to appear before a board of inquiry after the Incident. Commander [[Derek Mason]] was tasked with taking an [[away team]] to the ''Excalibur'' to stabilize its antimatter systems so the ship could be repaired. Lieutenants Beck and [[Jamie Archer]] were part of that team. (''Ghost Ship'')

On the repaired ''Excalibur'', the forward [[photon torpedo]] tubes were moved from the primary hull to the interconnecting dorsal between the primary and [[secondary hull|secondary hulls]]. (''Avalon Lost'')

Captain [[Lance Ramirez]] assumed command of the ''Excalibur'' after the extensive repairs were completed. Beck, newly promoted to commander, was posted as executive officer and chief science officer. (''[[Demons (AU episode)|Demons]]'', ''Air and Darkness'')

During a battle with [[Klingon]]s at [[Gamma Hydra]], the ship's starboard warp [[nacelle]] was damaged, and ''Excalibur'' was towed to [[Starbase 6]] for repairs. (''[[New Orders: A Star Trek Fan Vignette|New Orders]]'')

===''[[Excalibur Logs|''Excalibur'' Logs]]''===
Captain [[Kelly Davis]] was the commanding officer of the ''Excalibur'' in this continuity. Most of her senior staff were female officers. 

One of the ''Excalibur'' shuttlecraft was named the ''Sally Ride''. (''Who Haunts This Ship?'', ''The Haunting'')

[[Captain]] Conrad was ''Excalibur'''s [[commanding officer]] from [[2270]]-[[2281|81]]. [[Lieutenant Commander]] Sorenson was [[chief engineer]] from [[2268]] to [[2275|75]]. (''Orion Press'': "Scotty's Vacation")

During the [[Kelvan War]] in [[2285]], ''Excalibur'', under Captain Croft, was assigned to [[Task Force Four]] and was one of the few survivors of the engagement against the [[Kelvan]]s. Her personnel were rescued by ships from [[Task Force Six]]. (''Orion Press'': [[In Harm's Way (Orion Press novella)|''In Harm's Way'']])

''Excalibur'' and the {{uss|Confederation|NCC-2114}} were two starships that defended the experimental [[runabout]] {{uss|Rio Grande|NX-62341}} when she was attacked by two [[Klingon]] vessels. (''Project: Runabout'': "Pilot") 

===''[[Star Trek: Black Hawk]]''===

:''The registry for this ''Excalibur'' was NCC-1705''.
Following the M-5 incident the ''Excalibur'' was salvaged.  During its repairs it was partially [[refit]]ted and served as a testbed for several of the upgrades that would be later applied to refit the ''Constitution'' class.  After 18 months in [[drydock]] the ''Excalibur'' was relaunched under the command of [[Captain]] [[Thomas Nelson]]. (''[[Star Trek: Excalibur]]'': "Homecoming") {{clear}}
