In the '' episode ''Relativity''.

The ''U.S.S. Relativity'' (NCV-474439-G) was a Wells-class Starfleet ship encountered by the '' U.S.S. Voyager ''. Her crew claimed to have come from the 29th century. Not only can the ship warp through time and space, it also has transporters capable of beaming personnel and equipment through time as well. The ship's design was radically different from anything the Federation ever produced. All common features of a 24th century starship are gone. The ship has a small single hull with warp nacelles that are more pod like and appear to lack the bussard collectors or a warp field grills. Weapon systems aboard the ship were unknown. There appeared to be phaser strips along the hull, but no visible torpedo tubes. The ship also had shielding to protect itself from effects of a timeline paradox and other temporal anomalies.

The mission of the ''Relativity'' was to prevent the destruction of the ''Voyager'' from a temporal bomb that was planted on board. The ''Relativity'' was under the command of Captain Braxton until he was placed under arrest by his subordinate Lieutenant Ducane for crimes Braxton was going to commit.

The dedication plaque aboard the ''Relativity'' states that it is the seventh ship to bear the name, however its registry number suggests that it is the eighth (perhaps one of its predecessors was given two registry numbers, or the final letter signifies something else). The dedication plaque contains a quote from Albert Einstein - ''"The only reason for time is so everything doesn't happen at once."''

The class is appropriately named after H.G. Wells , author of " The Time Machine ."
