Admiral Wright was a Starfleet officer at Starfleet Headquarters on Earth when the USS Defiant crew had an appointment on the planet in 2371. When Julian Bashir, Jadzia Dax, and Benjamin Sisko were accidentally transported to the Earth of 2024, days before the Bell Riots, Wright ordered the Defiant's crew not to send away teams searching for the three so not to contaminate the timeline further. When Kira wanted to speak with Wright about this, however, Starfleet and the Federation had already disappeared due to a timeline change. (DS9: "Past Tense, Part I")
