The Excelsior class was commissioned near the end of the final Five year mission for the Enterprise and the other Constitution ships. The 'Great Experiment' as it came to be called, was a failure, with the newly developed Transwarp engines failing to provide the speed enhancements they were said to produce. The class was refitted with normal warp drives and went into production as a main line ship class. Excelsior ships are battleships, with enough firepower to defend aginst a squadron of hostile attackers single-handedly - as seen in Star Trek 6, when the Excelsior fired multiple volleys of torpedoes at a Bird-of-Prey while the Enterprise only managed two or three at best.
