In 2372, Benjamin Betts was acknowledged as a part of the propulsion systems ship commissioning personnel of the Sovereign-class starship USS Enterprise-E, listed on that ship's dedication plaque. (TNG movie: First Contact)
In 2373, Betts was acknowledged as a part of the Tactical Ops ship commissioning personnel of the Prometheus-class prototype USS Prometheus, listed on that ship's dedication plaque. (VOY episode: "Message in a Bottle")

Background[]
- This character was not mentioned in dialogue, but was listed on the dedication plaque and duty roster graphic installation set pieces. The names listed were references to the Voyager, First Contact, Star Trek: Picard season 2 and Star Trek: Picard season 3 production staff, in this case a reference to production staffer Benjamin BettsMA.
- The Captain's Chair CD-ROM listed Betts as a lieutenant serving aboard Voyager, but does not make clear whether he was aboard during the trip to the Delta Quadrant. If that was the case, his contributions to the Enterprise-E and Prometheus ship construction would have been finalized before Voyager was lost.
- Betts was listed as being a lieutenant on multiple duty rosters, but it is not certain whether this refers to a full lieutenant or a lieutenant junior grade, since both ranks are frequently properly referred to by the simpler name. For the purposes of this wiki, a full lieutenant's insignia is shown. The Stargazer roster listed Betts as a lieutenant commander, but a later readout on the Titan-A listed him as lieutenant. It seems he was either demoted or had received a temporary promotion that expired.
