Mayweather was born aboard the E.C.S. Horizon,
about halfway between
Draylax and Vega Colony.
"Fortunate Son" [ENT]
He was raised as a space boomer, living aboard
the Horizon for his entire
childhood. Mayweather was fascinated by the
lost colony of Terra Nova
as a kid and promised his dad that he would see it
one day. He felt that
the mystery of lost colonies affected boomers more
than anyone else-
there is something about people who chose to live
off world.

Travis stayed up all night for a month, mapping
every system he planned to visit when he grew up.
"Horizon" [ENT]
Travis locked himself inside a cargo container.
"Horizon" [ENT]
ca. 2134 - 2138:
During his fourth, fifth, and sixth grade years,
Mayweather's family traveled to Trillius Prime.
He also visited both the Teneebian moons and
Draylax, where he experienced the female natives'
unique endowments "first hand, second hand, and
third hand". The Date is based on the assumption
that Travis started fourth grade when he is eight
or nine years old and leaves sixth grade when he
is eleven or twelve.

ca 2147: Mayweather broke with boomer tradition when he
joined Starfleet, leaving the rest of

want to spend the rest of his life on the
Dralax-Vega run.
