| Psychological Profile |
Stephen is much like any other commanding officer, focusing on the
objectives of his assignment and trying to avoid losing crewmembers. Through
his assignment on the Omnicron, Stephen saw friends and crewmates perish
in the line of combat; while he has become accustomed to the feeling of
helplessness and guilt associated with the loss, he still tries to avoid
losing members of his crew.
Stephen's mother was a refuge from Bajor, which was then occupied by
the Cardassian Union. Due to the Occupation and the circumstances which
found her seperated from her people, Thalasa imparted her hatred of the
Cardassians onto her son. However, after the Firestorm was stationed at
the Cardassian-run space station Terok Lon (Deep Space Ten), Stephen managed
to set aside some of that prejudice towards Cardassians. However, he still
holds the Occupation against the Cardassian people.

It has yet to be determined if these two events are connected to one another. |

The result is a massacre; the Borg destroys a total of 37 Federation starships. The Omnicron avoids combat with the Borg so that their research can be used to build better weapons to defend against the Borg in the future. |
