PERSONAL HISTORY

Rolf Seiben was born into into a loving family with a rich history of service in Starfleet. It was expected that both the sons of Alexander and Sarina Seiben would follow into their family's footsteps and serve in Starfleet in the future.

Rolf, like his brother Hans did exceptionally well in school and consistently scored high marks in class. Unlike his brother though, Rolf tended to enjoy more outdoor activities and was much more physically active.

Priding himself of keeping fit and staying in prime physical shape, Rolf tried out and participated in many forms of sport, being considered an excellent all-round player for his schools' sports teams and developed an interest in martial arts.

Rolf took up the Japanese martial arts form of judo at age eight, and became a black belt in the sport by fifteen and is still a keen fighter to this very day. Socially, Rolf is seen as a friendly person and is considered easy to get along with.

Garnering many friends in his youth and in academy, Rolf enjoys spending his free time with them in a range of activities. It is this amicable personality that makes him a good confidant, popular amongst his crew and his peers at Starfleet Command.

On SD 7307.28, Rolf would marry his high school sweetheart Tara Johansen. They would go on to have three children together. Whilst off duty, or on leave, Rolf often and still does visit his family at their home in St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Because of his martial arts background and superb physical shape, Rolf opted to join the Security program in Academy. He scored excellently in hand to hand combat and proved to be a superb marksman, sharp shooter and shuttle pilot.

Graduating in the Top 20 of his class, Rolf was posted to the USS Taurus, an Oberth class science vessel and formed a tight relationship with his crew aboard their little ship.

Rolf would prove himself a competent officer and shuttle pilot, and participated in much of the Taurus' away missions, mostly exploration oriented. One mission however, proved otherwise.

Risking his life and safety, Rolf would go on to receive the Starfleet Medal of Honour for his actions of rescuing his crew which were stranded in an asteroid in a shuttle under attack from a Romulan scout vessel.

Distracting the vessel by firing on its engines, Rolf successfully bought enough time for his crew to escape back to the Taurus. He would also get lucky and disable the scout's propulsion system with a few lucky shots of his phaser banks, thus giving the Taurus a chance to escape.

Over the years, Rolf would later move on to the USS Illustrious and further cement his reputation as a dependable and cunning officer, known for his ingenuity and superb survival instinct.

It was because of this, that Starfleet quickly recommended him for command. On SD 8341.2, Rolf would be chosen to serve as Executive Officer aboard the USS Dallas, there, he proved not to let Starfleet down and participated in many battles against the Klingon and Romulan Empires.

And on SD 9245.64, he would be given command of the Polaris Class Frigate USS Cherokee. The Cherokee mostly ran deliveries of supplies to colonies and planets along dangerous areas of space, while still maintaining a 100% delivery rate.

By SD 10801.0, Starfleet, realising his potential and factoring in his excellent command and service reputation would assign him command of one of their new state-of-the-art Excelsior Refit Class ships, designed to counter the new line of Klingon vessels.

On SD 9402.0, he would be formally given command of the USS Challenger (NCC-2457) upon the completion of this vessel at the Utopia Planetia manufacturing facility.

HOBBIES & INTERESTS

Being so physically active, it is not surprising that Rolf enjoys a wide myriad of outdoor activities. He is considered a bit of an 'adrenaline junkie' and aside from judo enjoys such activities as mountain climbing, skydiving, camping, canoing and kayaking among others.

On his off-time, Rolf still practises judo and fully uses the exercise gym aboard the Challenger. He also likes to play zero-g football (soccer) with his crew, having served as a forward in high school and academy.

Rolf also enjoys traveling. He enjoys spending his time on remote worlds as well as posh resorts with his family whilst on vacation. He also enjoys holo-movies and reading holo-novels. Rolf also enjoys playing the electric guitar and piloting shuttles.

He also likes fine wines, and fine cuisine as well as most alcoholic from around the galaxy. Unlike his brother Hans though, Rolf tends to avoid junk foods such as donuts and chocolate, but likes to indulge on them on rare occasions.
