The third Enterprise, NCC╨1701-B, was an Excelsior class ship built at
Starfleet╒s Antares Ship Yards. Although the decision to model this ship on
the failed original experimental Excelsior was at the time controversial, the
economics of using the existing (and otherwise successful) engineering of
the basic spaceframe were compelling. The wisdom of this decision has
been borne out by the large number of Excelsior class starships that still
serve Starfleet in a variety of capacities. (Indeed, the Excelsior herself
ultimately proved to be a distinguished part of the Starfleet.) The third
Enterprise was a key figure in the exploration of space beyond the Gourami
Sector. This ship and her crew were responsible for mapping over 142 star
systems, including first contact with seventeen civilizations. ╞
