"The main class variant is the

fire but carries an Area Defense Fire Control system and an
additional PDS installation in place of the class-2 battery and
the other class-1; this version is commonly used as an
anti-fighter close escort for merchant convoys and support ships."

"The
Excalibur was introduced to service quite recently as a
replacement for the Avalon class BDNs built in the mid-2160s.
The Avalon class was never a very successful design, and in 2176,
a decision was taken to rebuild all remaining Avalon hulls into
the newer Excalibur configuration, which entailed significant full
modifications and complete internal upgrading. Rather than
recall all the ships en masse and leave the fleet seriously
understrength, the refit programe has been spread out over several
years as the Avalons are rotated back to major fleet bases for
overhaul; as of 2183 there are still a small number of unconverted
ships in service in outlying regions"
