Didrik Kaj 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 Kaj Stennes was born on 15 April 2360 in Tromsø, Norway, on Earth.

Didrik applied to Starfleet Academy after he graduate high school in 2378, but his grades didn't match his ambitions and his application was rejected. A family friend (and Starfleet lieutenant) recommended that some further study at a university might strengthen Didrik's application to the Academy, so he enrolled at the University of Bergen as a Military History major. Upon his graduation from the University in 2382, Didrik reapplied to the Academy, and was accepted. | Didrik applied to Starfleet Academy after he graduate high school in 2378, but his grades didn't match his ambitions and his application was rejected.

At the Academy, Didrik was a Tactical major and pursued minors in Navigation and Communications. He briefly wrote for the Academy newspaper and was a member of the junior varsity volleyball team. During his time at the Academy, he demonstrated strengths in languages, combat and diplomacy, but struggled in the areas of engineering, physics and xenobiology. By the end of his second year, his poor scores in these disciplines lowered his grade average such that Admiral Wagner refused to be the faculty adviser for Didrik's junior thesis on the use of guerilla tactics in the last days of the Dominion War. | At the Academy, Didrik was a Tactical major and pursued minors in Navigation and Communications.
