Background Summary:
-------------------
Hanson Bennett is of Terran Scandinavian decent, his father being Swedish and his mother being Norwegian.  Both of his parents served in Star Fleet, the bulk of their careers spent in the Engineering Corps on Utopia Planitia; both Hanson and his sister, Elke, were born in the Shipyards' medical facilities.

His childhood was both uneventful and stable, his parents providing a steady environment in which to grow.  As an adolescent, his hobbies included ice hockey and springball.

It wasn't until after his graduation from Star Fleet Academy that Hanson's star really began to shine; in fact, it would be several years after graduation.  His story really begins while serving on the USS LEVIATHAN, under Captain Denton Vargas, during the Tybiiran Encounters. In First Tybiiran, he was LEVIATHAN's Acting TAC; he acquitted himself well in a situation for which he was inadequately prepared.  This earned him a promotion and a transfer across TACRON-91 to the newly-recovered USS LOR'VELA.  It was there that he experienced Second
Tybiiran, and it was here that he once again showed his coolness under fire and his ability to lead in combat.  These performances lead to a transfer to Star Fleet Academy as an Instructor of Advanced Security Measures for his shore rotation.  He has spent the majority of his career in GOLD Fleet’s AO, further distinguishing himself during the Battle of Jarmas.  His assignment to DEEP SPACE 451 as its Commanding Officer is not only his first station command, but is also his first time serving outside of GOLD Fleet.

He is an excellent pilot; he was once considered the LEVIATHAN's official shuttlecraft pilot.  He is also a certified Junior and Senior Bridge Officer as well as holding qualifications as a Tactical, Operations and Navigation/Astrogation Officer.

Personality Summary:
--------------------
Hanson is a bit "off," as others have said.  He doesn't quite march to the same beat as everyone else; as a result, he has had a reputation for  "eccentric" behavior in the past.  However, despite this, he is a likeable person and is friendly almost to a fault- there have been some who have commented that his overt friendliness may be the very source of his eccentricity.

Hanson is single, and in his younger days, unfortunately for the female population of wherever he is stationed or visiting, he well aware of this fact and seeks to change this condition at every opportunity.  He has mellowed some as he has aged...but he is still single, and he will not turn down an opportunity if he sees one..

Once an emergency arises, however, he is all business- "cool as the underside of a pillow" adequately describes his demeanor during a battle.

6. SKILLS PROFILE
=================
A "late bloomer" in terms of advancement.  Outstanding pilot; excellent security officer.  Handles pressure situations with cool demeanor.  Excellent marksman with hand weapons; not terribly skilled in hand-to-hand combat.  Fair hockey player, but a better springball player.

7. RECENT FITNESS REPORTS
=========================
"Lieutenant Hanson Bennett will be missed on LEVIATHAN; his handling of a difficult situation during the (first) Tybiiran Campaign was impressive.  However, the undermanned LOR'VELA needs him now- he'll be a valuable member of her chain of command.  Commander Talnor is lucky to have him."

-Captain Denton "Buck" Vargas
CO, USS LEVIATHAN NCC-25002
COMTACRON-91

-----

"Lieutenant Commander Bennett was an indispensible part of the command team at Jar'mas; without his calm, focused presence, the battle could easily have gone sideways.  Deserves a promotion, in my opinion."

- Captain Cayle Veld
CO, USS CIRCE NCC-27000

-----

"Why this officer is still an O-4 is beyond my comprehension.  This oversight will be corrected immediately."

- ADM Sharas Talnor
Star Fleet Bureau of Personnel

8. CURRENT RECREATIONAL INTERESTS
=================================
Hanson's off-duty interests seem to involve either attempting to attract a girlfriend or running springball tournaments in the holodecks.  Will also throw darts on occasion, but does not usually find anyone willing to tangle with him more than once, as his marksmanship with a phaser finds its roots in his dart-throwing abilities.
