General Overview
Developed as a compliment to the Excelsior-class, the Ambassador-class was Starfleet's primary instrument of exploration during the second quarter of the twenty-fourth century. The Ambassador-class was the first vessel to employ triple-redundant electro-plasma system (EPS) taps and collimated phaser arrays laid out on the hull in strips rather than in banks. Several of the second run Ambassador-class vessels were built to an improved specification including structural improvements and enlarged shuttlebay facilities.
The Ambassador-class served with distinction during the Cardassian War, but the introduction of the Galaxy-class in 2357 saw Ambassador-class vessels relegated to more routine work with only a relatively small number remaining in service by the late twenty-fourth century.
Famous vessels of the class include the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C, launched in 2332 and destroyed while protecting the Klingon outpost at Narendra III in 2344, and the USS Excalibur NCC-26517.
