The lieutenant at the helm of the Enterprise-E in Star Trek Nemesis, who is blown into space when the Scimitar's fire breaches the bridge during the battle in the Bassen Rift.
Lieutenant Branson is the helm officer of the Enterprise-E in 2379, played by Michael Owen in Star Trek Nemesis.
He is at the conn when Picard is ordered to Romulus to answer what seems to be an offer of peace from the new praetor, Shinzon, and he flies the ship on its dash back towards Federation space once the offer is revealed as a trap.
Shinzon's cloaked warbird Scimitar catches the Enterprise in the Bassen Rift, where communications are blocked. In the fight that follows a torpedo tears open the front of the bridge, destroying the viewscreen, and Branson is swept out through the gap before a forcefield seals it. Deanna Troi takes over the helm for the rest of the battle, including the ramming of the Scimitar.
