- You may also be looking for the Woden sector.
The Woden (NCC-325) was an old-style automated Federation Template:ShipType ore freighter that was in service during the latter half of the 23rd century.
The Woden was encountered by the USS Enterprise near the Alpha Carinae system, in 2268. Initial sensor scans described her as an unidentified large, slow-moving vessel. She was not programmed to answer hails. Under the control of the M-5 computer, the Enterprise moved to intercept her at warp 4 speed and destroyed her with photon torpedoes set to full power. Fortunately, the freighter was fully automated and carried no crew. (TOS: "The Ultimate Computer")

Background
The original Woden
In the 1968 original edition of "The Ultimate Computer", the Woden was a re-use of the SS Botany Bay studio model, that first appeared in "Space Seed". In the first shot of the Woden, she had a distinct orange hull color. According to "Space Seed" the last Template:ShipClass ship was built on Earth before the year 2000. This would make the Woden at least 268 years old at the time of her destruction. Considering the Botany Bay survived in deep space a similar ammount of time even without maintenance and refueling, proves the DY-100 to be an extremely durable design.
In the 2008 remastered edition, the Woden was updated to be a modified version of the Antares CGI model, which originally appeared in the remastered edition of "Charlie X". This design was based on the NCC-G1465 ships. There is no indication the original production staff of the episode wanted to use any different type of ship to represent the Woden. In an interview with Michael Okuda he explained the reasons behind replacing the ship:
- "I've always liked that ship design. It's not just a kitbash of Enterprise components. It's very different from the Enterprise, nowhere near as sleek and powerful, but it really looks like something that might have come from Matt Jefferies' drawing board." [1]
The registry number of the remastered Antares-type Woden, while not visible on screen, was obtained from Michael Okuda.
According to the Star Trek Maps, the SS Woden was in fact a Template:ShipClass vessel, a more recent design than the DY-100. It had the registry DY-504. This would be inconsistent with the canonical image of SS Mariposa a DY-500 ship, featured in TNG: "Up The Long Ladder" that has a distinctively different design from the DY-100 configuration.
