Travis Mayweather

Travis Mayweather was born a space boomer in the year 2126 on board the long-haul freighter, the ECS. He was an Earth Starfleet and Federation Starfleet officer in the 22nd century

Early life
In 2137, Travis's father, Paul Mayweather, Sr. gained clearance from the Thelasian 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 had apparently been using the Horizon to smuggle weapons throughout the Confederacy. Although no charges were pressed against Mayweather's 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 ambitions. Travis was assigned as helmsman of the first Warp-5 capable vessel, 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. 

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 on monies lost on illegal seizures at a monthly compounded interest rate of 15%. Travis's researches also uncovered evidence used in the prosecution of Maxim Sen for multiple crimes against the Confederacy. 

In mid 2155, after the destruction of the ECS Kobayashi Maru he felt he couldn't trust Jonathan Archer anymore, so Travis left the Enterprise and took an assignment on the Discovery (NX-04). While there, he took another young pilote under his wings: Ensign Regina Tallarico. The Discovery was destroyed over Berengaria VII by the Romulans a few months later, though he and most of the crew managed to get to the escape pods before the ship's warp core breached. Afterwords, he was assigned to the USS Yorktown (NCC-108), aboard which he fought the Battle of Andoria, on March 10, 2156.

His image on the Yorktown and in Starfleet in general was tarnished by his abandoning Enterprise and the short lifespan of the Discovery, which he helmed, every posting he applied for was turned down with the fleet and the Yorktown crew considering Travis to be a "Bad Luck Charm". He would stay on the Yorktown, until his request was accepted by Captain Weiss from recently launched Atlantis (NX-05), where his experience with NX class starships would be helpful with her repairs. In the following months Mayweather had begun to feel at home on the Atlantis. He'd even been promoted to lieutenant. On June 20, 2156, the Atlantis was with the Coalition fleet at Tau Ceti IV when a massive Romulan fleet took the system. During the engagement Atlantis suffered major damage and was caught in Tau Ceti III's gravitational pull. The engines lost power so Travis was unable to free Atlantis therefore Captain Weiss ordered the crew to abandon ship and activated the self-destruct. Travis and most of the crew managed to land on the planet where the native Kaferians offered shelter and medical care for them until they were evacuated. (, Tower of Babel)

In 2159, he served on the  under Captain. During the Battle of Vorkado he was seriously injured, but recovered.

In 2160, now serving on the USS Franklin Roosevelt, he went to shore leave on Mars. While there, the Roosvelt was destroyed in a Romulan attack. After that Archer offered him Enterprise's helm once again. 

Travis served on board Enterprise throughout the rest of the conflict with the Romulan Star Empire until her decommissioning in 2160, shortly before the formation of the United Federation of Planets in 2161. Mayweather turned down an offer for a position on board another starship. He felt that Archer would be offered another command on a new warp 7 vessel, and wanted to remain available for assignment to that ship. 

About a year after the Federation was founded, his former Enterprise shipmate Malcolm Reed was offered the command of the USS Pioneer. Reed in turn offered the first officer post to Mayweather, who accepted the post. He was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander upon assuming the first officer role on Pioneer. 

Alternate timeline
In an alternate timeline in which John Frederick Paxton destroyed Starfleet Command and ended the talks for the Coalition of Planets in 2155, Travis was married at some point before 2199. His former Enterprise colleagues, T'Pol and her husband Charles Tucker III, were among those in attendance at his wedding.
