Alicia Travers

In an alternate timeline, Alicia Travers was a human citizen of America, Earth during 1944. She was a witness to the Nazi occupation of Brooklyn, New York, and lived there as a member of the American resistance. Her husband fought in World War II on a destroyer in the Pacific Ocean, where the war against the Nazi and Na'kuhl alliance was going badly. The Nazi's had banned Negro music, but she enjoyed listening to music by Billie Holiday on a record which her neighbors passed to each other during the war.

When Starfleet Captain Jonathan Archer was transported to her time period, Travers treated his wounds and provided him with food. At first, she mistakenly thought that Archer had come from the navy vessel Enterprise, shortly before it sank. She told him about the meat shortage and the harassment endured by Americans, especially negroes, at the hands of the Nazis. Archer would experience this first hand when he and Alicia were stopped by two Nazi soldiers who wanted to know why he was with a "colored" and that soon they would all be sent back to Africa.

Archer told Alicia that one of the Nazi he saw was not human. She said that she heard stories about the alien from others. Alicia persuaded her fellow resistance fighters to help Archer set up a meeting with an informent who has been providing information to the Nazis. He informed Archer that a member of the Na'kuhl regularly sought information from him, concerning both the resistance and the Gestapo. A gunfight would ensue and Archer and Alicia who were trapped were transported to the Enterprise. Travers learned that Archer was the commander of the Enterprise and from the future. (ENT: "Storm Front")

Archer would explain to Alicia about his mission and she was upset when she learned that war still exists in the 22nd century, but Archer told her that that the Humans who reside on Earth in the future live there in peace. Alicia found it hard to accept a reality that included starships, aliens and time travellers. Archer offered to transport her to a place were the Nazi didn't have control but she wanted to remain in her neighborhood, where she can assist the resistance movement and help free her people from Nazi rule. At first she wanted Archer to use the Enterprise to destroy all the Nazis, but he told her he would use other methods to return the right timeline. She made him promise he would succeed, so that she could have her old community back and her husband could return safely to her. She would help Archer locate Tucker and Mayweather, and rallied the resistance fighters to help Archer attack the Na'kuhl compound. The timeline was restored and presumably Alicia's neighborhood returned to the way it was and her husband returned. (ENT: "Storm Front", "Storm Front, Part II")

Alicia Travers was played by Golden Brooks.
