Federation Civilian Ships Database - S.S. Woden

STARSHIP NAME	REGISTRY NUMBER
S.S. Woden	DY-504

	History:
	Old-syle ore freighter that was automated and carried no crew. The Woden was destroyed by the M-5 mutitronic unit in 2268 when that experimental computer malfunctioned seriously. TOS "The Ultimate Computer" The Woden was a re-use of the S.S. Botany Bay model from TOS "Space Seed". Star Trek Encyclopedia II According to the Star Trek Maps, the SS Woden was in fact a DY-500-class 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. Woden may have been named for the Anglo-Saxon deity. Text from the Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

STARSHIP NAME	REGISTRY NUMBER
U.S.S. Woden	NCC-325

	History:
	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 was 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." The registry number of the remastered Antares-type Woden, while not visible on screen, was obtained from Michael Okuda. Text from the Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
