According to the ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion]]'', this studio model was originally designed by [[Rick Sternbach]], "''with a ''[[USS Reliant|Reliant]]''-like feel featuring long, pointed engine pods and a bridge-over-pod hull look. Urged to go for a more alien non-Starfleet look, Sternbach said he based the design on a central core surrounded by a wraparound circular generator.''"  Sternbach did start from the only Vulcan ship ever seen up to that point in {{film|1}}, as his annotations on a preliminary design sketch showed, "''-Basic masses only; -Vulcan style engine pods ala shuttle/sled in ST:TMP; -Vulcan/Starfleet Main Hull style''" [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9_iMNcLAXpg/TUWH3W10xgI/AAAAAAAABQA/uQybOjM2zSQ/s1600/IMG_1486.jpg]

Abandoning the preliminary design lines which echoed the design of the [[long range shuttle]], Sternbach arrived at a final version in September 1991 and his notes on the final design read, "''Vulcan Ship V Variant of Annular; No windows or other details; basic body shape.''" Later he recalled,"''The commandeered Vulcan ships in "Unification" followed a pretty familiar approvals flow of initial idea, producer changes, and final concept to go to the model maker, in this case [[Gregory Jein|Greg Jein]]. Since we hadn't seen much in the way of Vulcan ship technology, beyond the motion picture shuttle, it was a bit daunting to home in on a true Vulcan style, and I can't say I'm terribly happy with the final result. Hindsight always invokes a desire for more design time, which might have helped. Perhaps different proportions on the annular warp ring, more curves, and more positive-negative surface detailing.''" ({{STTM|3|8|104}})

Eventually Jein constructed a physical [[studio model]], measuring 20" &times; 13" for {{TNG|Unification II}}. The model was to be used twice more. The first re-use was as [[Tosk's ship]]. The model was extensively re-modified for the episode. Modifications included a new paint job, addition of small curved winglets in the mid and front section, an additional superstructure at the aft end and white window-like detail visible on the top of the model to convey the notion that it was a smaller vessel. Modifications were done at Jein's shop where co-worker [[Bruce MacRae]] was responsible for much of the refurbishment. [http://www.jetcafe.org/bruce/portfolio/TV_Shows2/FrameSet.htm] The second re-use was aptly as a [[Vulcan freighter]]. Modifications this time were done at [[Brazil-Fabrication & Design]] and were limited to removal of the winglets and application of additional "greeblies" over the window details. As such, the model known as {{stala|1778-0711|Lot #711}} was offered in the ''[[40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection]]'' auction at an estimated sale price of US$4,000 to $6,000, where it ultimately sold for $12,000 ($14,400 with premium).

A set of Sternbach's design sketches, including some done in [[CGI]], was sold as Lot #331 in the [[Profiles in History]] ''[[The Ultimate Sci-Fi Auction|Hollywood Auction 14]]'', [http://startrekvulcanology.blogspot.com/2010/08/rick-sternbachs-vulcan-ship-designs.html] and another two sets were later offered as {{stala|P014-0279|Lot #279}} and {{stala|P014-0280|Lot #280}} in the ''[[The Ultimate Sci-Fi Auction]]'' of 26 April 2003, estimated at $600-$800 and $400-$600, where they sold for $850 and $350 respectively. A foam core [[Studio model#Camera test model|test model]], {{stala|7164|Lot#7164}} (measuring 7" &times; 3" &times; 10"), created for {{s|DS9}}, was later sold in the ''[[It's A Wrap! sale and auction]]'' for $119.61, resold in the [[Propworx]]' ''[[STAR TREK auction]]'' as Lot 202 on 2 June 2011 for $100 ($128 inclusive buyer's premium and with an estimate of $100-$200).

Sternbach's misgivings notwithstanding, the ''Apollo''-class was a co-influence in the design of [[Doug Drexler]]'s {{Class|Suurok}}, establishing the circular warp engines as an signature design feature for Vulcan starships. {{DrexFiles|2009/06/09/vulcan-command-ship/}}

One of the least know studio models to appear in the ''Star Trek'' franchise, it is only known that the model was built at Gregory Jein, Inc. (''[[Star Trek: Official Guide 4 - Mechanics]]'', p. 145)
