Glamdring Class Starship

Class:Glamdring Name:USS Excalibur Registry:NCC-2711 Length:292 m Width:131 m Height:74 m

Designed at roughly the same time as the uprated Constitution Class USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A was being commissioned, the Glamdring class utilizes several of the same design features. She was designed to have a smaller profile than the Constitution, as well as be more maneuverable. The class ship, USS Glamdring NX-2689, tested out well in trials, and contracts for more ships were requested, although changes were made to the production models.
In the end, however, her similarities to the Constitution class ships proved to be her undoing. Starfleet decided to stick with the proven Constitution class ships, and only twelve Glamdrings were built. The last being the USS Excalibur NCC-2711.

GLAMDRING CLASS SCHEMATIC

This desging actually came about after the original model, USS Excalibur NCC-1711, fell from my ceiling one too many times. Repairs to the weakened nacelle strut joints had been done too many times in the past. Instead, I decided to cobble together a new ship using the parts of the old. The idea here was to need as little modification to the original parts as possible.
I wound up added the hull from the Excelsior as an afterthought.
