The Fleet Galaxy Exploration Cruiser Retrofit is an Admiral (Tier 5) level Federation Cruiser. Players can obtain the vessel through the Shipyard for 20,000 and 4 , as long as the player's Fleet has a Tier IV shipyard. This Retrofit vessel is a heavily modified version of the (Tier 4) Exploration Cruiser. Starfleet upgraded this vessel with the latest standard equipment used in the early 25th century.
The Fleet Galaxy Exploration Cruiser Retrofit is also able to use the [Console - Universal - Saucer Separation] that is obtained from the Exploration Cruiser Retrofit.
Variants
Galaxy class
Starfleet's top-of-the-line vessel in the mid-24th century. The Galaxy class was made popular by the multiple-award winning series, Star Trek: The Next Generation where the most notable ship of its type was the U.S.S. Enterprise-D. This is the shortest Exploration Cruiser variant, but the most iconic.
Celestial class
The design of the Celestial-class has components reminiscent of the Ambassador-class line of Starfleet cruisers. (One such starship was the Enterprise-C, commanded by Rachel Garrett.) Distinguishing differences between the Celestial- and Ambassador-class designs are the straight pylons, conical warp nacelles and engineering hull, and the thicker saucer.
To recreate the look of the Ambassador-class ships, most players prefer using this costume, along with the Galaxy-class pylons. However as of Season 7 the Support Cruiser renders this method semi-moot
Envoy class
The Envoy variant is the longest of the variants, with the largest saucer and neck. 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.
Venture class
Based on the Galaxy class design, the Venture Class represents the pinnacle of 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. This is an extra skin available after purchasing the Exploration Cruiser Refit from the C-Store for 1,500.
Monarch class
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.

Note
- As of 30 October, 2013, among all starships playable by Federation characters in Star Trek Online, the Fleet Exploration Cruiser Retrofit's hull value is only bested by the Jem’Hadar Dreadnought Carrier and the Advanced Obelisk Carrier obtainable through the Lobi Crystal store, as well as the Voth Bulwark Dreadnought Cruiser (though it was only available through special promotion) and also it has equal hull value as the Voth Bastion Flight-Deck Cruiser .
- The Galaxy-class Exploration Cruiser was remodeled in April 2015 to more closely match her canon appearance in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
