Åse Sorensen was a Starfleet science officer aboard the USS Marsh until its destruction in 2372, whereby she was transferred and assumed killed at a Myhr'an internment camp in the same year. She was the wife of Kristian Sorensen and mother of Synni and Bror Sorensen. Åse Sorensen gets her first name from ABBA group member Agnetha Fältskog's middle name. Like her namesake, Åse was Swedish.
