The DY-100 class was an early design of Earth space vessels that were in operation during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The ships were designed for interplanetary travel only, had nuclear powered engines, were equipped with artificial gravity, and had transistors as components. 

At least some DY-100 ships were sleeper ships, in which the crew could be placed into suspended animation. Sleeper ships like the DY-100 fell from general use by 2018 because of significant improvements in sublight propulsion technology.

The production of the DY-100 class ship began sometime prior to 1996. A later generation of the class, the DY-500, was similar in configuration and some 23rd century Humans had trouble telling them apart. 

The primary difference being the improved Propulsion technology absent from the DY-100 class freighter.

The SS Wyvern made a total of 6524 cargo and passenger trips during her operational lifetime. She was originally Commanded By Darius Barlowe, who helped to establish trade routes with the Arcturian Empire.
