Born on Star Base 39-Sierra, David Knight grew up frequenting the nearby broken sierra system with his parents. Whom had hoped he would join Star Fleet as a Science Officer as they had been. But as the years passed, David found more than a passing interest in weapons systems and Intelligence based studies; his parent’s interests started to favor his sister who took naturally science based studies within Star Fleet. When his parents felt he was mature enough they allowed him to take part in a studies program of the systems remaining surface that had been deemed safe. However, he quickly became adept at fooling sensors into giving false locations, so that he could venture out of the "lame zones" as he liked to call them.
When he reached the age of 17 his sister had continued to over shadow him in their parent’s interests, so he enrolled at Star Fleet academy making rather unremarkable scores on his entrance exam as a Tactical officer. However, as fate would have it, an opening for a Tactical position was not available. Despite this he was offered entrance into Star Fleet’s Intelligence program at the academy. His parents promptly objected but he took the opportunity and continued his career as normal, however no matter where he went the gravity never quite felt right to him.
