The Echelon class was a type of Federation starship operated by Starfleet during the early 25th century. The class closely resembled the Sagan-class, only without the lower pair of warp nacelles. They were classified as mid-model starships with a traceable payload, meaning that the impact of their weapons fire left residual ionic energy that could be used to track their target.

In 2401, thirteen ships of this class were involved in fleet maneuvers to celebrate 250 years since Enterprise NX-01 took her first voyage. They were commandeered after officers under the age of 25 were placed under the influence of the Borg with the help of Jack Crusher. (PIC: "Võx", "The Last Generation")
According to production material, this class of ship is 1694 feet (516.3 meters) in length. [2]
The total number of Echelon-class vessels present at Frontier Day was established by Picard Research Assistant Jörg Hillebrand. [3]
