Personal history

See Biography of Didrik Stennes.

Born in Norway in 2360, Didrik Stennes is the fourth of six children. Showing interests in writing and the outdoors as a child, he developed a desire to join Starfleet as a teenager, during the Dominion War. Upon completing secondary school in 2378, Stennes unsuccessfully applied to Starfleet Academy and enrolled at the University of Bergen instead. Upon completing undergraduate study in the field of military history in 2382, he reapplied to Starfleet Academy, and was this time successful.

Professional history

See Starfleet Academy transcript of Didrik Stennes and Awards and commendations received by Didrik Stennes.

Personal relationships

Psychological Profile

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.

Miscellany

  • Federation Standard pronunciation of Didrik's surname "Stennes" is "STENZ," however the proper Norwegian pronunciation is "STENN-ess."
  • Didrik always refers to starships as feminine, and without a definite article (eg., "How will Enterprise make it back home without her warp core?")
  • He doesn't smile, and hasn't since his kidnapping and torture.
  • While not opposed to using the holodeck for simulating natural environments, holographic characters give Didrik 'the creeps.'

Quotations

STENNES: That's all any of us can do, I guess. To believe. To choose. They're not really that different from each other, are they?


(Shortly after being excreted into space by a giant cosmozoic lifeform, the bridge crew watches as the brand-new Ensign Wanda DyAmone executes a daring shuttlecraft rescue of two lost officers.)
DANZIA: And once this is over, I'm having words with whoever did that.
STENNES: Me too. Where was the daring shuttlecraft rescue option back when I was floating through space inside a piece of poo?


(Columbia, at risk of losing two away teams on a planet inhabited by a mysterious telepathic creature. Didrik, a victim of telepathic torture, has had enough of the attempts to communicate with it.)
STENNES: Forgive me if I sound like an ignorant Terran, but while we stand here discussing who whispered what into the mind of whom else, we have nearly a dozen people on that planet who are counting on us to bring them back. Now the deflector is calibrated and ready to transmit, so I suggest we get on with reestablishing real, verbal contact with our people. Unless you all would rather we just stand around here and bend some spoons.
