Excelsior class starship (Star Trek)
Encyclopedia
The Excelsior class is a fictional class of starship
in the science fiction
franchise Star Trek
. The USS Excelsior
was designed by Industrial Light and Magic
's Bill George for Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
. It appears in subsequent films, and the model was re-used for other ships in episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation

, as well as the finale of Star Trek: Voyager
. The film Star Trek Generations also uses the same model, with various additions designed by John Eaves
, for the USS Enterprise-B
.
dome at the bottom of the ventral, and impulse engines at the aft end. The saucer is attached to a backward-angled neck extending downward from the aft of the ventral side to the secondary hull, which is roughly tubular with a flat platform on the dorsal side; the hull has a navigational deflector at the bow and a shuttlebay aft. Two warp
nacelle
s are above the secondary hull, slightly above the primary hull, supported by pylons that attach to a bulge on the top of the secondary hull, run to the sides, and go upward from an angle (slightly more than 90°) to the nacelles. A semi-circular cargo bay lies at the bottom of the secondary hull.
The model was altered for use as the Enterprise-B in Generations; this variant includes two additional impulse engines running aft from the saucer on both sides of the original impulse system, different warp nacelles, and an enlarged engineering hull along both sides of the deflector dish (to allow special effects artists to show damage to that part of the ship without permanently altering the original). The USS Lakota in Deep Space Nine' s "Paradise Lost" is the same model.
