You were looking for ship's specs for the Lakota-type refits for the
Excelsior class.
Most notes on refits will be about the general refits of the class,
making it a viable operations ship thru NextGen/DS9.
However, I can find some information for you.
Keep in mind that various sources WILL contradict.
So, I'd make an average of differences,
or suppose they vary depending on the PRECISE refit.

The decks of an Excelsior-class Federation starship:

Deck 1: Bridge
Deck 3: Captain's quarters
Deck 6: Junior officer's quarters
Deck 15, section 21 alpha: Deflector relays
=========


Main Bridge

The main viewscreen (2293)Located on top of the primary hull, the Excelsior Main Bridge directly supervises all primary mission operations and coordindates all departmental activities. Due to the age and variety of configurations of the Excelsior-class, bridge configurations can vary from ship to ship.

Against the aft wall of many Excelsior bridges is the large engineering master systems display monitor, showing a cutaway of the ship and status information. This was not originally part of the USS Excelsior configuration but added later, a feature shared with sister ship USS Enterprise-B.


Accommodations
Senior officers, such as the captain, had private quarters belowdecks. Many of the enlisted crew and junior officers shared quarters and bunk areas.


Shuttlebay
The Excelsior-class' shuttlebay is located on the dorsal stern of the secondary hull, and houses several shuttles of different types, including type-7 shuttlecraft. There is also a large cargo hangar in the lower decks of the secondary hull.

I was just wondering when we start? I was also wondering what time period this is, original, Next generation, DS9, or the other one?  

[Preator Suran]

This is VOY era.

GR Gorkon

This is VOY era.

As in "following the peace treaty with the Dominion", correct?
Or
"during the Dominion War",
which is another thing entirely?  

[Preator Suran]

Following the peace treaty
