"Excelsior II Class"

This file is a replacement of an earlier model. I edited the mesh and created new textures.

==
To withstand the formidable ships of the Dominion, Starfleet decided to improve units of the Excelsior Class Refit.
The result was the Excelsior II, ouyfitted with a new stardrive, new nacelles and stronger shields.
These ships performed very well and were more than a match for enemy ships.
Starfleet Command, however, opted for the Akira Class, as these were easier and cheaper to build. The Excelsior II units were widely used in all kind of actions.
