However in 2403 the more recent [[USS Excalibur (NX-100001)]],was sent on a mission by Rear Admiral [[Donatra]] to investigate strange energy readings that some of her ships in the [[Starfleet Rapid Response Task Force|Rapid Response Task Force]] had picked up. When the Excalibur arrived she quickly found her predecessor. After a few hours of rejoicing and finding out what happened from the other Excalibur's crew, the old Excalibur's captain, Captain [[Dimitri Alexandrovich]], stole several engine systems and parts from the new Excalibur's cargo bay.

It was soon realized that the man had gone mad and his actions were unrationalized by being stuck out in open space for ten years with no way to go anywhere. Due to some redesigning of the quantum slipstream drive systems since the first Excalibur's launch, the engine parts weren't compatable. When the first Excalibur went to activate her slipstream drive the ship was destroyed. However the current Excalibur was able to transport over 520 out of 723 of their crew.

The '''USS Excalibur''' NCC 100001 (formerly NX), an [[Excalibur Class]] starship,  is technically the second starship of her class however she is the first of her class to be listed as active on the Starfleet roster. She was named to honor the first ''Excalibur'' and prototype for the class which was lost mysteriously during it's maiden voyage and shakedown cruise. Later it was discovered that the ships experimental warp core to service the [[Quantum Slipstream Drive]] developed by [[Doctor Jacob Thatcher]] had become unstable due to prolonged use of the quantum slipstream speeds as opposed to conventional warp speeds.

Although not all was a complete loss as the [[Starfleet Corps of Engineers]] had much to learn from the first Excalibur including mismatched system problems. After some time the second hull casing was finally in progress. In 2403 the second ship was finally ready for launch and was put under the command of [[Jerok]], a wise and experienced Romulan who previously served in the Romulan Military and on the [[Romulan Senate]]. However it was unknown if any amount of experience could prepare the crew for what they could face.

The ship left dock on June 14th 2403 and left the Sol System successfully under the quantum slipstream drive with a destination of Outpost Four.
