NOTES
The Excelsior Class is one of the most long-lived starships in the Federation fleet, and the
Queenstown Subtype is the most recent revision.  The Queenstown, as a whole, retains
much of the same design and functionality as previous revisions; it continues to serve as a
basic exploratory and research vessel, and is capable in tactical situations.  However, in
the grand tradition of the Excelsior Class, the Queenstown variant was one of the first
equipped with the experimental quantum slipstream drive.  Unlike the transwarp fiasco
that plagued the original Excelsior in the 23rd century, the slipstream project was a
relative success, and more starships, including the Explorer Class, have successfully
deployed with quantum slipsteam drives as a result.
