The XBB is a post excelcior-B but Pre-ambassador vessel. Due to the realativley untrusted phaserbank, this ship was given a larger battery of torpedo tubes to compensate. Phaserbanks turned out to be a worth while technological system, even if they didn't provide much in the way of a boost in overall performance. They did improve relaiability and have better heat dissapation than the old turret modules. They could also be aimed faster and have a wider angle of fire. Several other technological stesm are visable on this ship, including advanced defelctors, and a significant step up in warp nacelles.

The ship is armed with 16 small phaserbanks in various locations, 6 fwd torpedo tubes and 4 aft.

This pack includes 3 versions of XBB. One has the standard 4 nacelle configuration, one has a sideways configuration which allowed alternating of nacelle pairs at greater efficiency for the top nacelles, and one reverts back to the 2 nacelle system with the attack pod, which is how all of these ships would eventualy end up as nacelle tech advanced into the ambssador and TNG era. These ships would be reactivated during the dominion war as colonial defense warships, often upgraded heavily by their crews using surplus parts (to be seen in later releases)
