'''B. Background Summary:'''
 
Paul was born in Brisbane to his mother, with his father already absent from
the family prior to his birth.  There is much conjecture within family
circles as to the identity of his father.  The identity has been narrowed to
a high powered business man or a senior Federation official, but the
identity has never been confirmed.  Whilst a mystery within family circles,
it is a question that neither Paul, nor other members of the family, have
any particular interest in pursuing.
 
Paul's mother was a strong woman, who blossomed into parenthood and managed
the challenging juggle of single parenthood and primary breadwinner for the
family extremely well.  Just after Paul's 9th birthday, the family moved to
northern Queensland in order for Rhonda to pursue job prospects and to give
her family a better life away from a major city.
 
Both Paul and his older sister Heather thrived living in northern
Queensland.  Both children loved the outdoors, and this coupled with natural
intellects and inquisitive minds, relish their teenage years and blossom.
Living in a region like northern Queensland, gave them fantastic
opportunities with the close proximity of natural phenomena such as the
World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest.  They made
the most of the opportunities and not unsurprisingly both children have a
real interest and passion for the sciences, particularly the biological
sciences.
 
Paul's natural sense of discovery and intrigue continually challenged him to
try new things as he grew up, and not surprisingly, he yearned to learn and
discover more.  Introduction to the Federation and Starfleet captured Paul's
excitement and intrigue, and not surprisingly, when offered the opportunity
to attend Starfleet Academy he leapt at it.  His time at the Academy saw him
to grow and flourish, his nature revelling at the possibilities and
opportunities Starfleet offered.  Not surprisingly, he graduated the Academy
with Honours.
 
Paul was assigned to the USS ARABINUS as Chief Science Officer straight out
of the Academy.  He quickly caught the attention of the Command Staff of the
ARABINUS with his enthusiasm and dedication to his role, along with his
natural, laid back nature and loyalty.  His efforts saw him steadily climb
the promotion ladder, taking on more senior roles as he progressed.  He
excelled after moving to Operations and as Second Officer. 
 
The USS ARABINUS was assigned to undertake a standard survey mission of
Kylon II but the mission was far from standard.  The arrival of the ARABINUS
in the Kylon system coincided with the system plunging into civil war
between the 2 dominant races in the region.  The mission of the ARABINUS
shifted from scientific survey to a diplomatic mission, with the crew tasked
with brokering peace in the region.  Terrorist elements backed by a local
criminal consortium had vested interests in the region remaining
destabilised and took the opportunity to act against peace talks being held
on the ARABINUS.  They disabled the ARABINUS through a terrorist act, then
attacked the stricken vessel with a small fleet of vessels they used for
smuggling.  Henderson's efforts in aiding the stricken ship and fending off
the attackers, selflessly maintaining his post in the face of major
difficulties and odds against the ARABINUS is considered one of the key
reasons the ship survived and the pirates were defeated.  He was cited for
bravery for his efforts in the battle that ensued.
 
After the Kylon mission, Paul took leave from Starfleet to recover and
assess his future.  The yearning for discovery and learning that Starfleet
fuelled continued to burn, and when approached to take on the role of
Executive Officer with the USS SORANUS, he took the opportunity. 
 
The USS SORANUS saw Paul continue to blossom as an officer.  His reputation
throughout Starfleet, and particularly amongst those that served on the
SORANUS, continued to grow.  This is reflected by the impact that the
SORANUS' disappearance had upon many Starfleet personnel.  The SORANUS
vanished on 180401 with all hands on board.  An extensive search of the
region where the SORANUS vanished provided little evidence as to what had
occurred.  No wreckage was found, discounting a battle or destruction of any
sort.  It was one of the lasting mysteries for Starfleet, and particularly
for those who had personal connections with the ship and its crew.
 
4 years after disappearing, a small distress beacon was detected in the
region of the SORANUS' last known location.  A rescue mission was launched,
and a small cluster of escape pods, containing some of the SORANUS crew was
discovered.  Those crew who returned have gone through extensive debriefing
as to what occurred and the fate of the SORANUS and majority of her crew.
It appears that the SORANUS was caught in some form of temporal anomaly
which saw time move much slower than standard space, accounting for the
seeming lack of time which has passed for the crew.  After extensive
debriefing and recuperation, the crew have all been passed fit for active
duty and to resume their careers in Starfleet.  Given his extensive and
exemplary record, Henderson has once again been tapped on the shoulder to
take on the role of Executive Officer, this time on the USS FENRIR.

==RECENT FITNESS REPORTS==
"Lieutenant Commander Henderson has proven himself a true asset since
joining the crew of the ARABINUS, being well liked by all crew members and a
promising officer.  The crew as a whole, and I personally, owe Henderson a
great debt for his heroic efforts during our mission to the Kylon sector.
Without his dedication and selfless acts, it is likely we would not have
returned from that mission.  I value Henderson not only as a fellow
Starfleet officer but also as a friend.  He will undoubtedly be an asset to
any vessel he serves on, just as he has been on our vessel."
*CAPT Hugo Rodriguez
*CO, USS ARABINUS
 
"Lieutenant Commander Henderson is a capable and valuable member of this
crew.  His efforts ensure that the crew of the SORANUS crew works to the
highest of standards, time again proving themselves above and beyond the
call of duty and performing to the best of their abilities.  Henderson is a
fine officer who's talent I appreciate."
*CAPT Howard J. Gopher
*CO, USS SORANUS
 
==PERSONALITY SUMMARY==
Paul is a fairly easy going, laid back type of guy. He tries to defuse
situations before they become problems. As well as this, he treats everyone
around him the way he'd like them to treat him, with kindness and respect.
His open mindedness and friendly nature make it easy to fit in to anywhere
and to get along with anyone. However, this easygoing nature can also be
deceptive. He takes his duty in Starfleet very seriously, having always
aimed to be a part of the fleet. His loyalty is to the fleet and his ship.
He does not take his responsibilities lightly and, if needed, he can be
steadfast to the point of being obstinate. But, he always does it with the
best of intentions and, thus far, hasn't had any problems. He'll make the
effort to get to know everyone, and treat everyone as equals.
Starfleet is his life, but more importantly, he considers it his family. In
that regard, when called upon, his loyalty is beyond reproach and his
actions are likewise.
