| | Star Trek: The Interim Years - Starship list |
 | | Starship names tend to be either the names of explorers, scientists or discoverers, mythological beings and characters, stellar phenomena and astronomical bodies, famous places or descriptions of positive attributes [such as Valiant, Courageous, Intrepid etc]. |
 | | This registration number would suggest that starships have a range of numbers in operation at any one time, hence Oberth class new builds are in the 600-range [NX 602, rather than somewhere in the region of 2500], and Excelsior class starships are mostly 14000-range. |
 | | So the main batches of Excelsior class starships are in the 14000 range, with later 40000 - 42000 range construction in later years. |
