The ships are small enough that they could land if necessary on class M planets, and outfitted with specialized gear to make that possible. They are also outfitted with advanced computer systems, in which some traditional optical processors are relaced by bio-neural circuitry. Small, sleek, and fast, these ships are well armed for their size. USS Voyager, NCC-74656, was one of Starfleet's first ships in a new class. For references and reviews, please see listing for Enterprise-B. Excelsior class ships are among the most common types in Federation service. Launched in 2285 as the test bed for an (unsuccessful) transwarp drive and later refitted with a conventional warp drive.
