Miles Edward O'Brien was born on Earth in Ireland. He has a unique talent for all things mechanical and so studied advanced engineering at the Academy. He has served on the USS Rutledge with Captain Benjamin Maxwell as tactical officer. He never forgot the encounter they had on Setlik III with the Cardassians. It left him shaken and gave him a deep hatred for the Cardassians for what they did, and that he had to kill to defend the survivors. After the Setlik III massacre, he was reassigned to the Enterprise. First, he served as Bridge Conn, then he was promoted to Transporter Chief and he became a transporter specialist. When Miles was on board the Enterprise, he married Keiko Ishikawa (introduced to him by Lt Cmdr Data) and they had a daughter, Molly (delivered by Worf!). Finally, he was assigned to Deep Space 9 as Chief Operations Officer.
