Travis Mayweather

Ensign Travis Mayweather was born a space boomer in the year 2126 on board the long-haul freighter, the ECS Horizon.

Early Life
In 2137, Travis's father gained clearance from the Thelasiain Trading Confederacy to do business on the Morianne-Deneva run, a profitable shipping lane.

During a cargo run set up by a Thelasian trader named Maxim Sen, the Horizon's cargo, supposedly high-tech solar panels, was confiscated by local authorities. Sen has apparently been using the Horizon to smuggle weapons throughout the Confederacy. Although no charges were pressed against Mayweathers father, he lost a large amount of money in the process.

Starfleet
Upon reaching adulthood, Travis realized that he wanted more than a freight haulers life, but he still wanted to live among the stars and see the galaxy. Travis joined Starfleet against his family's wishes because he felt that that would be the best way for him to fulfill his wishes. Travis was assigned as helmsman of the first Warp-5 capable vessel, the Enterprise, upon her launch in 2151.

During the Xindi mission in 2153, Travis went on a mission with several MACOs, including his cabin-mate Corporal Hideaki Chang, to destroy a Xindi mining and refueling depot in a nebula near the Kaletoo system. (Star Trek: Enterprise novel Last Full Measure)

In 2154 when the Enterprise was within the designated shipping lanes of the Thelasian Trading Confederacy, Travis- with the help of Lieutenant Malcolm Reed and a pair of Bynars- discovered a legal precedent that allowed the Horizon to collect moneis lost on illegal siezures at a monthly compounded interst rate of %15. Travis's researches also uncoved evidence used in the prosecution of Maxim Sen for multiple crimes against the Confederacy. (Star Trek: Enterprise novel Rosetta)
