USS Zife

The USS Zife was a federation starship serving in the early 25th century.

In 2409, the ship found Charles Ryerson in a craft traveling at relativistic speeds near Barnard's Star. Ryerson was experiencing the Time dilation effect, due to the speed his ship was coasting at. As a result, he experienced only a short amount of time since his departure, while to the rest of the universe, 20 years had passed.
