Didrik Nikolaj Stennes was born on 15 April 2360 in Tromsø, Norway, on Earth. He was the fourth of six children born to Harald Stennes, a correspondent for the Federation News Service, and Hera Guldbrandsen, founder of a charitable organization that worked to rebuild Bajor following its occupation by the Cardassians. His parents' respective work occasionally kept them away from Earth when Didrik was growing up, and he often stayed with his maternal grandparents, Didrik and Tea Guldbrandsen. On a few occasions, however, he accompanied his parents on their travels; he visited Bajor twice with his mother in 2370 and 2371, and traveled to Tellar, Vulcan and Alpha Centauri with his father during the summer of 2373. As a child, Didrik developed a great fondness for the outdoors, something that would remain with him throughout his life. He also demonstrated an interest and talent for writing, and initially wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and become a journalist. | Didrik Nikolaj Stennes was born on 15 April 2360 in Tromsø, Norway, on Earth.

Stennes served aboard [[USS Drake|USS ''Drake'' NCC-1987]], a ''Miranda''-class starship, from November 13, 2388, until her decommissioning on October 10, 2390. | Stennes served aboard [[USS Drake|USS ''Drake'' NCC-1987]], a ''Miranda''-class starship, from November 13, 2388, until her decommissioning on October 10, 2390. | ||

In November 2388, shortly after his graduation, Didrik was posted to the USS ''Drake'' NCC-1987 as helm officer. Immediately after reporting for duty, he was ordered to pilot the shuttlecraft ''Portebelo'' on an away mission to a Tellarite orbital facility. He and Lt. Commander [[Solok]] were successful in rescuing Lt. Commanders [[Whale, David|Whale]] and [[Danzia]], Ensign [[Luna, Avar|Luna]] and Cadet Klaar from the facility, and made first contact with a form of artificial intelligence that inhabited the ring for a short time before disappearing. Although the shuttle sustained heavy damage from the gravimetric distortions surrounding the planet, Ensign Stennes piloted the ''Portebelo'' to safety, with the crew suffering only minor injuries. | |||

In early 2389, Stennes and the ''Drake'' crew searched the area between Earth and Alpha Centauri for a missing shuttle containing Lt. Commander [[Whale, David|David Whale]]. Stennes and Lt. Commander [[Kells, Aron|Aron Kells]] worked together to modify the ''Drake'''s sensors and plot the most likely areas to search for the shuttle. While conducting the search, the ''Drake'' was pulled into an anomaly and deposited into a previously unexplored dimension later dubbed "null space." With traditional impulse and warp engines unavailable, a network of sails was deployed to the hull to ride particle streams moving through null space, thereby providing propulsion. Stennes supervised the installation of the sails and manually maneuvered the ''Drake'' through the streams. Commander [[Rogers, William|Will Rogers]] ordered Stennes to lead an away team to a nearby planet, where a Gorn ship carrying a cache of dilithium had crashed. Departing the ''Drake'' with Ensign [[Sung, Marcus|Marcus Sung]], Chief Petty Officer Jane Van Klaveren, Petty Officer [[Mint, Domane|Domane Mint]] and Crewman Thy'lek, Stennes' orders were to secure the dilithium and attempt contact with another away team already on the planet. During a rough landing, Didrik suffered a lacerated cornea and subsequent globe rupture in his right eye. | In early 2389, Stennes and the ''Drake'' crew searched the area between Earth and Alpha Centauri for a missing shuttle containing Lt.

Didrik dislikes crowds and raised voices, and avoids them whenever possible. He is an outdoorsman and an explorer, an able hiker and mountaineer. Didrik is fond of wordplay and sarcasm, and will take whatever opportunities he can to make a good-natured quip. While fluent in Federation Standard English, he often configures his combadge to transmit simultaneous translation into Norwegian, mostly because he finds it amusing how the computer so frequently gets it wrong. | |||
Didrik is his harshest critic, and has trouble accepting compliments or taking credit for things he succeeds at. While he shrugs it off as Nordic modesty, he secretly is driven by a desire to fit in and be liked. An average tactician, Didrik has embraced his natural aptitude for Ops and Helm, and is looking for opportunities to grow in that area, rather than sit by and wait for a tactical post to open. When on duty, he prefers to operate the helm manually rather than allow the NavComp to fly the ship. To that end, he has devised a number of unique console layouts that allow him to pilot the ship while monitoring other departments in the absence of an Ops officer on duty. | |||
Physically, Didrik is bulkier than the average human. He is self-conscious about his forehead, which he thinks is too large. Born with a healthy Norwegian appetite, he has never met a food replicator that he didn't like, and he must make himself exercise regularly to avoid putting on too much weight. | |||
