The Branson was a Rutan-class trading vessel belonging to Section 31 in the mid-22nd century.
History and specifics[]
Branson was launched in or before the 2130s decade. Although originally designed to carry a crew of six and several metric tons of cargo over a maximum of 15 light-years and known to be notoriously slow, the Branson had been refitted to increase its speed and range by the mid-2150s.
On February 14, 2155, Commander Charles Tucker III was brought aboard the Branson after he faked his death. (ENT novel: The Good That Men Do)
