TSonofvulcan 0 Posted June 17, 2004 "Ode to Excelsior Class Starships" A poem by: T'Son Oh Excelsior class starship standing regally in space How I love to see that special push you put into the race, you stand sovereignty with 28 decks, never getting involved in any wrecks. You can travel with ease at most warp factors, you have the power of infinite tractors, you were the foothold of the modern federation ships, you look more beautiful than a Fleet Admiral's pips. 12 Phaser banks you have upon your hull, 4 torpedo tubes never make you dull, you have three glorious shuttle bays, and your class can last for trillions of days. Oh how your red glowing impulse engines look so pretty, Your beautiful sky blue nacelles look ready to sing a pretty ditty, your running lights finally turn on revealing your name and number, NX-2000 is seen below the words USS. Excelsior as loud as thunder. Oh with your mass of 1,525,000 tons, You could never receive so many shuns, you now warp into space so majestically like a horse, you are sure to always stay on course.

Valeris 2 Posted June 18, 2004 I remember this one. It definitely shows how much you love the Excelsior class. And just think- last year you said the sovereign was your favorite and you were calling the the Excelsior the Alka Seltzer! Good poem though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mj 7 Posted June 19, 2004 I liked the Excelsior with Sulu in command in Star Trek VI, but I was indifferent to it in Star Trek III. And Scottie sure did put it out of commission be remeoving a few screws! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Admiral Kirk 1 Posted June 22, 2004 I really like that class of ship! I wished I would have seenmore of them on the big screen. They were a bit outdated by the time of TNG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TSonofvulcan 0 Posted June 22, 2004 They were actually used alot in TNG, they didn't get decommisioned until after DS9, however, she wasn't a flagship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LoveMalePecs1 0 Posted June 22, 2004 (edited) I also liked The Introduction of The Excelsior Class Starship as of ST III was put more to use and the Bridge was modified by the Time of ST VI when Sulu was in Command and was seen every so often throughout TNG as someone else had said and the last few were probably Decommisioned by the time of DS9. :) B) :) Edited June 22, 2004 by LoveMalePecs1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
