Background
Information on this class designation was originally derived from an okudagram described as a starship mission status that was displayed in the observation lounge starting around TNG Season 4 and was originally described in the Star Trek Encyclopedia.
It is unclear whether this class is associated with the 23rd century starship, USS Korolev.
This class was named after spacecraft designer Sergey Pavlovich Korolev, a key figure in the early Russian space program who created the Soyuz spacecraft and started the space race. (Star Trek Encyclopedia 2nd ed., p. 174)
