USS Woden (NCC-325)

The USS Woden (NCC-325) was a Federation Rigel class freighter that was in service with Starfleet in the mid-23rd century. According to the Starfleet Registry, which listed the Woden, this ship was an ore freighter converted to automation, and Commander Spock described the ship as an "old-style" vessel.

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.
