Brannon Braga (Commander)
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
Commander Brannon Braga was a Starfleet officer during the 23rd and 24th centuries.
Braga was a member of Starfleet as early as stardate 9715.5, when he was listed among Fleet Operations officials on the dedication plaque for the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-B). (Star Trek Generations)
In 2353, Braga was listed on a directory placard as having an office in room 35799 on Starbase 32. (TNG: "Violations")
Afterward, Braga was listed as a Starfleet Command official on the dedication plaque of several starships :
His name appeared also in the USS Voyager crew manifest in 2374. (VOY: "The Killing Game")
- According to his high rank, we must assume that he wasn't aboard the ship when it was stranded in the Delta Quadrant. He may have been assigned aboard during the test phase of the ship like Cmdr. Rick Berman and Cmdr. Jeri Taylor who were also listed on the dedication plaque. Another explanation could be that the crew manifest was deliberately falsified in order to disturb aliens who tries to scan the database or board the ship, which could explain the use of the people on the dedication plaque with ranks that obviously are doubtful.
- It seems rather odd for him to have such a relatively low rank after almost 80 years of service, but it is possible that he was a "Commander, Starfleet" and held an admiral grade.
- Braga was named for writer-producer Brannon Braga.
