In starship classification, an escort vessel was a starship whose primary purpose is to accompany other vessels as a means of protection. Escorts typically protected lesser armed vessels, or vessels carrying an important cargo.
In 2154, Degra's ship was protected by two Xindi-Reptilian warships, which served as escort ships, during initial testing of the Xindi test weapon in the proving ground of the Calindra system. (ENT: "Proving Ground")
In 2368, a radical faction based on the Beta moon of Peliar Zel intercepted the Federation shuttlecraft Hawking claiming to be an escort vessel. (TNG: "The Host")
The Defiant-class, originally developed to counter the Borg, was officially classified as an escort vessel, but was unofficially a warship. (DS9: "The Search, Part I").
