Excelsior, U.S.S.

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
Episode: MOV 003 - Star Trek III: The Search for Spock

A starship originally designated NX-2000, for testing purposes and as the first of its class, "The Great Experiment" was the first starship equiped with transwarp drive.

Captain Styles commanded the NX-2000, and Enterprise's Chief Montgomery Scott was briefly assigned to the ship as captain of engineering.

During the NX's trial runs, the transwarp drive propulsion system presumably had to be removed due to its failure (although this is never shown in the feature films). When the starship entered operational status, its registry number changed to NCC-2000. This Excelsior was under the command of Captain Hikaru Sulu for a three year mission studying gaseous anomalies.

Excelsior was an integral part of the Khitomer Peace Conference of 2293.
