Origin
Richard Daystrom was born on Goteborg Sweden. A scientist Daystrom won both the Nobel Prize and the Magnees Prize by the time he was 22. He then spent his life creating the M-5 computer. The computer was designed to take the place of human crews. Unfortunately it malfunctioned killing many people. This major setback did not stop Daystrom and he eventually got the design to work but admitted himself that human crews were probably better.
Creation
Daystrom was created in the original Star Trek series.
