Travis Mayweather is a spacer-hick who likes being the helmsman of something faster than a barge. He likes to pretend that his youth as a spacer makes him more qualified for space exploration than other members of the Enterprise crew, but he hardly saw anything but the inside of a freighter during all those years, so that experience is essentially worthless. No one cares what he likes.
He was the primary helmsman for the USS Enterprise.
[edit] Character Criticism
Travis is often cited as Enterprise's "Token Black Guy". The character was originally going to be a Lieutenant, but he was mysteriously demoted to Ensign after Anthony Montgomery was cast for the role. While a central character in a few first-season episodes, Travis slipped into obscurity as the series progressed and frequently failed to appear in episodes at all.
