Revision as of 16:17, 4 June 2013
The Apollo-class was a class of Federation starship in operation during the 24th century.
They were in Starfleet service by the 2320s through the 2370s. (TNG: "Tapestry"; DS9: "In the Pale Moonlight") They were used on missions of deep-space exploration. (TNG Season 4, display graphic) The Vulcan National Merchant Fleet and the Maquis also utilized them as freighters and transports. These vessels were partially constructed out of dentarium alloy.
In 2364, a ship of the class, the USS Ajax, received Kosinski's experimental warp drive upgrades, resulting in a measurable increase in performance and engine efficiency. It was later suggested that the enhancement may have been attributed to Kosinski only straightening out simple engine inefficiencies of the old ship. (TNG: "Where No One Has Gone Before")
In 2368, fragments from the navigational deflector array of a Vulcan transport of this class were recovered in the Hanolin asteroid belt from a downed Ferengi cargo ship in crates marked "medical supplies". The debris was spread over one hundred square kilometers. After running a molecular pattern trace, the ship was later identified as the T'Pau.
That vessel, and two others were later used by the Romulans as a "peace" envoy sent to Vulcan. These vessels traveled from Romulus and across the Romulan Neutral Zone at warp 1; aboard the three vessels were over two thousand Romulan troops.
Vulcan transports under fire from a D'deridex-class cruiser
Following the Federation's discovery of the Romulans true intentions, the invasion of Vulcan, the Romulan force retreated toward the Neutral Zone. Upon an attempted interception by the USS Enterprise-D, a Romulan Warbird destroyed the three Vulcan transports and all the troops on board. (TNG: "Unification I", "Unification II")
In 2372, Starfleet Command ordered the transport of several CFI replicators to Cardassia aboard a Vulcan freighter. It was later determined that the freighter was under Maquis control, and instead used the vessel to divert the replicators to the Demilitarized Zone and into their possession. Michael Eddington left aboard the Vulcan freighter as well, as he left behind his Starfleet career, and to join the Maquis full time. (DS9: "For the Cause")

Background information
The original T'Pau studio model
The Apollo-class name has appeared on screen only in a Starship mission status chart in Star Trek: The Next Generation. The class name was originally used in the 2nd and 3rd editions of the Star Trek Encyclopedia as the designation of the Vulcan transport T'Pau seen in "Unification II".
The Encyclopedia also identifies one of the starships lost at Wolf 359 as the USS Gage, an Apollo-class starship, with the registry of NCC-11672. The ship was only mentioned in a scene cut from the aired episode DS9: "Emissary". In the scene the Gage was ordered to attack the Borg cube with the USS Melbourne and the USS Kyushu. [1]
In the slightly modified later appearance as the Vulcan freighter, in "For the Cause", the model retained the raised aft section modification done for the appearance as the smaller Tosk's starship, the cockpit windows of the Tosk version were also covered for this appearance.
This class of starship was named for the Greek god Apollo and Earth's Apollo program of the mid-20th century.
For more information on history of this studio model, please see: Apollo-class.
Apocrypha
According to Star Trek: Customizable Card Game pack Q-Continuum, the T'Pau was a ship of the Merchant-class.
In apocrypha materials there are several classes of Federation starships with the name Apollo-class.
- In The Price of Freedom sourcebook of the Last Unicorn role playing game, a class of light cruisers with a similar hull configuration to the Galaxy-class is identified as Apollo-class. They are 315 meters long and have 16 decks. The class was in production between 2325 and 2358.
- In later Last Unicorn supplements, the Vulcan T'Pau is also identified as the Apollo-class, with five decks and a length of 148 meters.
- In the video game Star Trek: Legacy, a class of ships similar to the refit-Constitution-class, but with a nacelle above and below the primary hull and no secondary hull, is identified as Apollo-class at Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek works scout ships.
