Niccolò Del Vedova is a medical doctor and an officer of the Federation Starfleet, and is currently assigned as commanding officer of the hospital ship Hirschfeld.

After the destruction of his first command, the hospital ship USS T'Setain, del Vedova requested reassignment to a non-command position. He was assigned as a diplomatic officer on the ship of his old friend Roshanara Rahman, the USS Veritas, where he served for about six months before pursuing and being granted a transfer back to medical. This followed a long service record in the Menthar Corridor, in which he served as a medical officer at the ranks of lieutenant, junior grade through commander, as well as a command officer aboard the USS Syracuse. He also served aboard the USS Za as director of medical research.

Niccolò, most often known as Del, is a doctor who epitomized the stereotype of the Australian-Italian on Earth, but whose boisterousness and confrontational nature are balanced by a keen bedside manner and a quick and adaptive mind. He is in a romantic relationship with Aron Kells. Due to a congenital condition that sent him to a long stay in intensive care in 2396, and a period of intensive recovery and physical therapy into 2397, Del walks with a slight limp and often uses a cane as he walks.

Important Relationships

  • Aron Kells and Del have known each other since their Academy days, though they were initially only acquaintances and only became better friends afterward, when their work brought them closer together. Del had been especially alienated by the latter of Aron's two temporal accidents; he didn't recognize very much of his friend in the older man's body. After this accident was reversed, they served together on the USS Invicta, at which time their friendship became something more romantic. They have been in a committed relationship for about five years, and have been able to maintain similar postings for some of that time. They both currently serve aboard the Thor.
  • Roshanara Rahman was just a patient to Del at first when she first came aboard the USS Mercury in 2389, but the two quickly formed an unlikely friendship and have since had their share of adventures in the Menthar Corridor. When Roshanara -- or "Rosh" as Del calls her -- came to him concerning a mysterious medical ailment, he attempted to help her over the next two years, but he ultimately had to declare her medically unfit for duty in 2391. Still, he would not let his friend face the next chapter of her life alone, and he took a leave of absence to accompany her back to Earth. Later, after Del's brief time as CO of the T'Setain, he served aboard the Veritas with Roshanara, first as her diplomatic officer, and later as her chief of medicine.
  • Wil Ukinix and Del first met on the Veritas during Del's time there. They became close friends over their years of service, to the point that Del has trust Wil implicitly and intimately, and has asked for help with tough situations during his recovery.
  • Addison MacKenzie was first assigned to the Veritas as an ensign and medical officer when Del had just taken over as CMO. They worked together and became colleagues and friends as Addison worked her way up through the ranks. She eventually left for a posting at the Duronis II Embassy as CMO there, but when she and the rest of the Embassy crew were assigned to the Thor full time in 2397, Del reunited with her briefly when he was assigned there too, following recovery and physical therapy on a break from service. Before Addison left for to take up a post as XO of the Resolution, they connected aboard Deep Space 9.
