The first starship of the Exselsior class, launched in 2284. The ship served
under the command of Captain Styles as the testbed vehicle for the unsuccessful transwarp drive development project. Star Trek III: The Search for Spock The Excelsior was designed by Bill George and built at ILM. Although this was never made clear on film, it is generally assumed that the transwarp drive being tested in Star Trek III was a failure, and that the ship was later outfitted with a more conventional warp drive.
