Description I really like the design of the Excelsior Class starships; and it was inevitible that the replacement for the Constitution class Enterprise would be an Excelsior.  Aside from Generations (a movie I really enjoyed BTW) we don't learn much about the Enterprise B.  But her maiden voyage likely branded her among the superstitious as an Unlucky Ship....After all, the Living Legend, James T. Kirk died trying to save her, while her Captian Harriman looked on with no clue as to what to do.  I always felt this was unfair to Harriman--he didn't get to be captain of any Federation starship (let alone one named Enterprise) by being a mindless idiot or reacting to dangerous situations by standing like a deer in the headlights.

Anyhow...I wanted to show Enterprise on approach to a class M world, most likely as a way for the Federation to "Show the Colors"

Very nice.
I have heard that when Enterprise B arrived for repairs Harriman quit Starfleet because he felt guilty because of Captain Kirk 'death'.
I presume she went on with another Captain. Yes there is hardly anything on her voyages after her run in with the energy ribbon. She was presumed lost, so I would guess she must have been pulled into another dimension much like the Defiant in the original episode The Tholian Web

There's actually a good Harriman story in the Enterprise Logs book--a series of short stories dealing with all the various Enterprises that have played a part of the STU

This makes me think that I should consider getting the Excelsior for one of my alts in STO. Good Job.

I agree the Excelsior hull was wonderful. behind the Enterprise-A she is my favourite star faring lady of the Star Trek universe.
Very nice shot of the Enterprise - B
