NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Soyuz class starship

In the fictional universe of Star Trek, the Soyuz class of starship was created as an upgrade to the Miranda class starship. Named for the Russian word for "alliance," the Soyuz-class vessels were constructed with a larger aft section to allow for greater cargo and shuttle space. This class was also equipped with more sensors and armaments than typical Miranda class vessels (see USS Reliant). In 2288 the Soyuz class was retired from service, although one vessel of this type, the USS Bozeman, was encountered by the USS Enterprise-D in 2367 after being caught in a time loop for 79 years.
