'''Miles O'Brien''' was a [[Terran]] [[slavery|slave]] who worked for the [[Klingon-Cardassian Alliance]] aboard [[space station|station]] [[Terok Nor]], but later became the leader of the [[Terran Rebellion]].

== Career ==
=== Slave of the Alliance ===
In [[2370]], O'Brien was working in the station's [[ore processing center]], and had the slave classification "[[theta (classification)|theta]]", which was a relatively respected and privileged position.  O'Brien was also occasionally recruited to repair [[Benjamin Sisko]]'s [[raider]] when it was docked at the station.  Sisko claimed he hated the name Miles, and instead nicknamed O'Brien "Smiley".  He had a good reputation on the station for being an excellent "tinkerer and putterer".

When Smiley met [[Julian Bashir (mirror)|Doctor Bashir]] in the ore processing center, he initially thought that Bashir's "wild" tales of [[Miles O'Brien (mirror)|his counterpart]] being [[Chief of Operations]] was simply a ruse to get him to help Bashir.  However, Bashir's earnest attitude won him over, along with the realization that anything had to be better than his slavery to the Alliance.  Smiley helped Bashir try to escape from the station, on the condition that he be taken along to the other side.

However, when [[Captain]] Sisko also rejected [[Intendant]] [[Kira Nerys]]'s authority, Smiley changed his mind and decided to join Sisko's [[crew]], deciding that there was something worth staying for after all. ([[CO]])

=== Terran Rebellion ===
When Captain Sisko was killed by the Alliance in early [[2371]], Smiley took charge of the [[Terran Rebellion]].  In order to complete Sisko's last mission, he recruited [[Benjamin Sisko (mirror)]] to take the place of his deceased counterpart long enough to convince [[Jennifer Sisko]] to leave the Alliance and start working for the Rebellion. ([[TTLG]])

While he was aboard [[Deep Space 9]], Smiley took the opportunity to download a large portion of the station's [[database]], including the schematics for the [[USS Defiant (NX-74205)|USS ''Defiant'']].  This information came in handy the next year, when the rebels managed to capture Terok Nor from the Alliance.  Smiley used the stolen specifications to build the rebels' own [[warship]], which they also christened ''[[Defiant]]''.  However, with the Alliance about to launch a counterattack to recapture the station, Smiley once again recruited Sisko in order to help them finish construction of the ''Defiant'' in time.

Smiley piloted the ''Defiant'' during the [[Battle of Terok Nor]], although he was replaced by Sisko partway through, because Sisko had greater experience flying the little warship.  Following the successful conclusion of the battle, Smiley sent Sisko back home. ([[SM]])

In [[2375]], Smiley was still in [[commanding officer|command]] of the rebellion on Terok Nor.  He commanded the ''Defiant'' when it pursued [[Brunt]]'s ship as it stole a [[cloaking device]] from the station, and later negotiated [[Regent]] [[Worf]]'s surrender and capture. ([[TENC]])
