[edit] Background
The name Apollo-class was originally derived for use in the Star Trek Encyclopedia, but later appeared on screen in a Starship Mission Status chart in The Next Generation.
The Vulcan transport T'Pau from TNG: "Unification I", "Unification II" was identified in the 2nd and 3rd editions of the Star Trek Encyclopedia as an Apollo-class starship. However, this connection has not been proved on-screen to date.
Additionally, the Encyclopedia identifies that a USS Gage, which originally appeared in a deleted scene of "Emissary", was listed as an Apollo-class starship, with the registry of NCC-11672.
This class of starship was named either indirectly for the Greek god Apollo, or directly named after Earth's Apollo program of the mid-20th century.
[edit] Apocrypha
In the supplements to the Last Unicorn role playing game, this class of vessel is identified as a light cruiser that is 315 meters long, has 16 decks, and was in service from 2325, and describes it as a standard saucer-stardrive-nacelles configuration. However the same company's later supplements make it seem like this ship was a Vulcan-style ship of five decks and 148 meters length. All these facts are apocryphal to the filmed canon of Star Trek.
In the non-canon video game Star Trek: Legacy, the Apollo-class is depicted as being identical to the Saladin-class design.
