Dialogue and footage in "Sacrifice of Angels" also suggests the ''Magellan'' was in fact a ''Galaxy''-class starship:
 
 
:'''[[Benjamin Sisko|Sisko]]:''' "''[[Ensign]], have [[Galaxy wing|''Galaxy''-wings 91 and 93]] engage those [[destroyer]]s. All other [[ship]]s, head for that opening. Anyone who makes it through doesn't stop until they reach [[Deep Space 9]].''"

:'''[[Elim Garak]]:''' "''Congratulations, Captain. You wanted them angry. They're angry.''"
 
:'''Sisko:''' "''The ''Magellan'' and the [[USS Venture|''Venture'']] are supposed to be protecting our [[starboard]] flank. They're in too tight... tell [[fighter]] squadrons 6, 7 and 8 to...''"
 
 
This suggests that the ''Magellan'' was a ''Galaxy''-class as the ''Venture'' has been previously established as one. It was however also possible that the ''Magellan'' was either an ''Excelsior-'' or ''Miranda''-class starship as prior to Garak's statement ships from these two [[starship classification|classes]] were holding to the starboard side of the ''Defiant'', with a {{class|Miranda}} ship holding close off the ''Defiant''{{'}}s starboard [[aft]] quarter.
