The Soyuz class was a variant of the Miranda class (obviously
) seen in the TNG episode "Cause and Effect." The Soyuz-class USS
Bozeman, NCC-1941, spent something like 88 years in some sort of time loop in the Typhon Expanse. In the episode, Geordi is surprised to see the
Bozeman because Soyuz-class ships haven't been in service in 80 years--which, given the never-ending service life of the Miranda, seems a bit odd, but whatcha gonna do?
What exactly the pods and antennae are is a source of never-ending debate, much like the outboard "pods" of the New Orleans class that we had a go at a few weeks back.
"Phasers" and "sensors" both have their camps; I tend to follow the latter, but that's because I have some very odd theories about the Soyuz and why it's service life (or at least its "official" service life
) might have been so short.
Finally, Terradhyne, I hate to say it, but what you have as the upper impulse engine there isn't an impulse engine at all--it's Shuttlebay 3. I would point you to this reference pic from Pedro's Shiporama:

All offered in the spirit of constructive criticism...
For the polycount, it's an impressive piece of work.
