Template:Galaxy Class The Excalibur was actually built at the Ronin Shipyards by Solas Tempus for Starfleet Command. Though the vessel did serve as a Starfleet vessel for a few years, it was soon commissioned back into the hands of Solas Tempus as the danger in the Schatten Star System began to rise and more Solas Tempus vessels were required to maintain security. The vessel was originally going to be used as a general defense ship but instead became the primary vessel for Admiral Thomas following the loss of his pervious ship, the USS Nemian during a battle.
Group Designations
The Excalibur has the following group designations on board.
Security
2 Companies from the 7th Schatten Regiment are assigned to the USS Excalibur for a total of 320 personnel.
- Percival Company (formally the Company of Sir Percival) (160 STS Personnel)
- Tristian Company (Heroic Company of Tristian) (160 TACCOM Personnel)
The company's are named for characters from the Arthurian Legends, where the ship also gets its name. Each company sports a special patch insignia for the vessel (indicating the sword Excalibur atop the Lake) and an additional emblem in honor of their namesake.
