Star Trek     Memory Alpha      Escorts    
      
   Example:   A Defiant-class escort    
   In starship classification, an escort is designated as being a small starship   
   which is generally given a protection role, moving with less maneuverable   
   ships or vessels with lighter armament. Escorts can further be classified as   
   fast escorts, heavy    
   escorts or battle escorts. Light escorts are also called corvettes.    
      
   In 2371, the Defiant-class was officially designated as being an escort,   
   although its use was thought to be a euphemism, as the Defiant-class was   
   described as being one of the most powerful warships in the Alpha Quadrant.

   Blockade runner escorts    
   In the 25th century, the Steamrunner-class was categorized as a blockade   
   runner escort, enjoying limited use due to to the design's reliability and   
   effectiveness. The Steamrunner-class participated in major military   
   engagements in the late 24th century,    
   including the Dominion War and the Borg invasions of 2376. The blockade runner   
   escorts were equipped with a resonance cascade modulator, which could   
   temporarily increase nearby ships' shields. Starfleet lieutenants could   
   command the blockade runner. A    
   Steamrunner-class blockade runner escort retrofit was available for commanding   
   officers with the rank of vice admiral.

   Corvettes were a type of lightly armed, nimble escorts. In the early 25th   
   century, corvettes were a comparable to frigates in terms of maneuverability,   
   armament and shielding. However, the Risian corvette was more durable and   
   heavily armed.
