A Life-Pod was a small life sustaining device that can hold a person in a sort of suspended animation.
In another universe, members of the REF time traveled into the past on Zor's battlefortress as it crash landed in 1999. Dana Sterling was placed in a Life-Pod from the SDF-3 next to the original ship. It was hoped that her arrival would lead to the timeline turning out differently. After being discovered by Earth's government, she was kept in a stasis pod in Alaska Base for over a decade. (Robotech: Robotech Free Comic Book Day 2019)
