Travis Mayweather

Mayweather was born in 2126 aboard the ECS Horizon, a human J-class cargo ship, and has visited the fictional planets Trillius Prime, Draylax, Vega Colony, and both Tenebian moons. He is a "boomer", meaning he grew up aboard cargo ships and that he has more experience in space than even his commanding officers.

Mayweather is a quiet and enthusiastic young man who is a highly skilled pilot and has some spelunking experience. He has at least one brother, Paul, who became the captain of the Horizon after the death of their father, the ship's previous captain, in January 2153. Their mother, Rianna, was the ship's medic and chief engineer. The show mentions that Mayweather has a sister who is married, but has never been seen.

Over the course of the series, Mayweather was injured, incapacitated, or even "killed" more times than any other character in the primary cast.

When Star Trek: Enterprise was first conceived, Mayweather was intended to be a lieutenant but his rank was changed to Ensign because the producers felt that having Mayweather and the older Malcolm Reed at the same rank wouldn't be believable.

In the novel Rise of the Federation: A Choice of Futures, Mayweather is promoted to first officer of USS Pioneer under Captain Malcolm Reed.

There were five uniforms made for this character over the show's run, and they were later auctioned off.^[1] Examples of this include; the MACO uniform and a Red-shirt Mirror Universe costume for the episode "In A Mirror Darkly".^[2]
