Players can obtain this starship from any Ship and Shuttle Requisitions officer for 150,000 . This ship can be purchased individually, or as part of the Galaxy Pack for 4,000 . This ship was previously available on its own from the Zen Store; players that purchased it from there can still reclaim it from there on all their characters.

Overview

Purchasing the Exploration Cruiser Refit unlocks the Venture-class skin on all Exploration Cruiser variants (below) as well as all Galaxy Dreadnought Cruiser variants.

Class variants

Class	Information
Purchasing the Legendary Ross Command Exploration Cruiser for 30,000 unlocks all existing ship variants.
Galaxy class Aft Aft (Refit)	SKIN UNLOCK: Free Starfleet's top-of-the-line vessel in the mid-24th century, the most prominent Exploration Cruiser variant is the Galaxy class, which was the flagship of the fleet when it was first introduced in the late 2350s. The most well known Galaxy-class vessel was the USS Enterprise-D, commanded by Captain Jean-Luc Picard. This is the shortest Exploration Cruiser variant, but the best known. On T5 and T6 variants, players may also select the "Galaxy Refit" nacelles, which have phaser strips on the dorsal side like on the Galaxy Dreadnought Cruiser and the first appearance of the U.S.S. Venture.
Celestial class	SKIN UNLOCK: Free, but only available on T4 variants The design of the Celestial class has components reminiscent of the Ambassador class line of Starfleet cruisers. Distinguishing differences between the Celestial- and Ambassador-class designs are the straight pylons, conical warp nacelles and engineering hull, and the thicker saucer.
Envoy class	SKIN UNLOCK: Free, but only available on T4 variants The Envoy variant is the longest of the three. The saucer and and neck are also the largest. The pylons are slightly banked and are forked toward the nacelle area. The ship is significantly bulkier than the other variants which feature smooth hulls. Its nacelles are less armored than the others with a field grille covering the bottom end of the nacelle.
Monarch class	SKIN UNLOCK: Free with any T5 or T6 variant Though similar in layout to the Galaxy, the Monarch class takes on harder edges, banked nacelles, and other structural changes throughout the spaceframe, incorporating lessons learned from its older siblings' 50 years of service. It is also tied with the Venture Class for the largest variant of the Exploration Cruiser line.
Venture class	SKIN UNLOCK: Free with this starship Based on the Galaxy-class design, the Venture class represents the pinnacle in Starship design. It has a longer more swept neck, and a more faceted main deflector. It also bears details reminiscent of the Sovereign class, such as the raised V-shaped platform on the primary hull detail, and a whiter-colored hull with darker markings. It is also tied with the Monarch class for the largest Exploration Cruiser variant.
Andromeda class	SKIN UNLOCK: Andromeda Exploration Cruiser, 3,000 Following the success of the Pathfinder class in Operation Delta Rising, Starfleet Corps of Engineers teams at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards began work on updates of other core ship designs in the Federation fleet. The Andromeda-class Exploration Cruiser is the first ship from this effort to be released to Starfleet captains. An update of the famed Galaxy class that was the flagship of Starfleet in the mid-24th century, the Andromeda incorporates updated technology developed to give this ship improved capabilities for the difficult challenges Starfleet faces in the months ahead.
Ross class	SKIN UNLOCK: Legendary Ross Command Exploration Cruiser, 30,000 The Ross-class Exploration Cruiser, commissioned in the 2380s, is a hybrid of the Galaxy and Sovereign classes' aesthetics. Featured in the recently-launched Star Trek Adventures roleplaying show "Clear Skies", the U.S.S. Ross pioneers many advanced technology that will go on to become standard on Starfleet ships in the 25th century.

Notes

• The Venture-class design appears to be based on Andrew Probert's original concept drawings for the Enterprise-D.
• On 6 March 2014, the Exploration Cruiser Refit became part of a special bundle with the Exploration Cruiser Retrofit and the Dreadnought Cruiser. The Anti-Matter Spread Console bundled here can be used in unison with the Exploration Cruiser Retrofit's Saucer Separation Console to give special bonuses and both can be used on any Exploration Cruiser variant.
• The Galaxy skin for Exploration Cruisers was remodeled in April 2015 and January 2020 to more closely match her canon appearance in Star Trek: The Next Generation. At the first date, players were also given the option to fit upgraded nacelles (which have an additional Phaser strip on their dorsal side) to match the appearance of the U.S.S. Venture from the DS9 episode "The Way of the Warrior".
