Star Trek Online's Season 2: Ancient Enemies update is about a month into it's launch and Cryptic Studios continues to add content to their flagship MMO. Just released is a brand new iconic Trek ship made famous by one Captain Hikaru Sulu. That's right Trek fans, the Excelsior Class is back! I guess the Excelsior was made famous in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, then throughout Next Gen, and again as the Enterprise-B in "Star Trek: Generations", but I digress. We prefer to think of it as Sulu's ship... *Fly her apart then!*

The Excelsior Class Retrofit is available now in the C-store for 1200 Cryptic Points. Check out a description below.

A retrofit of the iconic Excelsior class as seen in Star Trek: Generations, this ship has the weapons and power needed to tackle anything from a training cruise in the Sol system to a race to the Galactic Barrier. The Advanced Heavy Cruiser Retrofit has eight weapons slots (4 fore, 4 aft), seats for five Bridge Officers (Lieutenant Commander Tactical, Commander Engineering, Lt. Engineering, Ensign Engineering, and Lt. Science) and space for nine console modifications (4 Engineering, 3 Tactical, 2 Science). It carries a crew of 750 and features a Transwarp Drive that can be activated in system space for rapid travel to the Alpha Centauri, Sirius, Regulus, Pi Canis, Psi Velorum, Iota Pavonis, Eta Eridani, Beta Ursae and Alpha Trianguli Sector Blocks. Note: This ship may only be purchased by Federation captains that have attained Rear Admiral or higher rank. Purchasing this ship from the C-Store unlocks this ship with the "Enterprise-B" ship costume as well as the classic "Excelsior" ship costume for all Federation Rear Admirals on an account.

We've often wondered if all of the Breen look like Princess Lea under their helmets... Just sayin'.
