The SS Nakatomi was a Federation freighter in the late 23rd century.
It was hijacked by the Chodak. After the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) arrived on the scene, Captain Jean-Luc Picard attempted a dangerous gambit in which he offered to exchange the battle section of the Enterprise for the hostages. Eventually, the Chodak escaped the Enterprise before the ship disappeared somewhere in the Verenitor Cluster
