Nilsen was born and raised on the farming world of Gault. He was part of a large family with six siblings. Nilsen's upbringing, while stable, was chaotic. He would frequently fight with his brother Kei'ran. However, as both siblings entered adulthood, they found they had more in common than they realized. [[File:Lhandon Leaving Home.jpg|thumb|223x223px|Nilsen leaving Gault for Starfleet Academy. Circa 2396]]As Nilsen entered his teenage years, he found that he had a natural talent for operational matters and keeping things organized on the farm. He took on administrative duties, managed logistics, and handled supplies. However, his heart and passion were in flying, and he would take every opportunity to take the family shuttle out on trips, which grew longer and longer. Soon, he developed an independent streak and would often bite off more than he could chew. But as he reached 17, he found that he lacked direction in life and entered a rebellious phase. This lasted throughout his time at Starfleet Academy. | Nilsen was born and raised on the farming world of Gault. He was part of a large family with six siblings.

Fueled by a desire for excitement and a break from routine, Lhandon and his brother Kei'ran connected over a spate of petty crime, including trespassing, joyriding, theft, and anti-social behavior. On several occasions, he participated in graffiti sprees that left a mark on several public buildings in the local community, with both brothers venturing out under the cover of night. However, he could see that this was a path that was not going to serve him well. This was hammered home by both siblings being caught by their father trespassing on another farm. Their father did more to set him straight than any law enforcement officer. | Fueled by a desire for excitement and a break from routine, Lhandon and his brother Kei'ran connected over a spate of petty crime, including trespassing, joyriding, theft, and anti-social behavior.

Soon, he needed a way out, and while he loved his home of Gault, he didn't see a future there. There was no space for him; his older brother would take care of the farm, and his other siblings would find their own paths. He learned that some years back, the Rozhenko family's adopted son joined Starfleet, but the details were fuzzy. In many ways, Nilsen saw Starfleet as his ticket off Gault, and he signed up as soon as he turned 18. Nilsen tried to persuade Kei'ran to join Starfleet with him but was not successful | Soon, he needed a way out, and while he loved his home of Gault, he didn't see a future there.

His rebellious phase included a toxic romantic relationship and confrontational behaviour. Joining Echo Squad for search and rescue piloting, his rivalry with fellow cadet Blackwood culminated in a crash during a training mission. This incident led to his dismissal from Echo Squad and a shift in career focus to operations and communications. Despite frequent fights, he developed a friendship with medical student Nera Ay and graduated as a qualified HCO officer in 2400. He was posted to the USS Oumuamua, having transformed from a potential helm officer to a versatile operations officer.{{ExpandableSummary |Title = Years One & Two - Acadmeic Performance & Romantic Relationship | ||

Upon detecting the USS Unity Dow, Nilsen and the rest of the bridge crew experiences a brief moment of relief, thinking the mission might conclude smoothly. However, this optimism fades when it's revealed that the Unity Dow is in orbit around an unknown planet, has weak transponder signals, and only life support is operational. Nilsen discovers that only one life pod was launched, and the bridge's evacuation hatch is open, hinting at a possible emergency evacuation under dire circumstances. He also sees that only one escpae pod has been launched. He is worried and apprehensive about the fate of the Unity Dow's crew, fearing the worst. <ref>LTJG Lhandon Joseph Nilsen - Unprotected From The Cold Embrace Of Death - https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-butler/c/dvoQqTx5RFs</ref> | Upon detecting the USS Unity Dow, Nilsen and the rest of the bridge crew experiences a brief moment of relief, thinking the mission might conclude smoothly.
