Echo Two was a CGI model designed by John Eaves and built at Eden FX by Fred Pienkos, who commented, "I love modelling, but I rarely get a chance to do it. I actually got to build Echo Two from scratch. That was fun, because they gave me a lot of freedom; the shape was in the concept drawings, but I got to add all the technology that was built into it. Then I did the sequence where it is dropped." (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 3, Issue 7, p.52)
