Star Trek: TOS' Captain Kirk and DS9's Chief O'Brien were both soldiers who had to confront their animosity toward their Star Trek alien enemies.
Star Trek Deep Space Nine's Chief Miles O'Brien shares a tragic similarity with Star Trek legend Captain James T. Kirk . Despite being born over a century apart, both O'Brien and Kirk have played key roles in Star Trek history. Captain James T. Kirk aided the peace process between the Klingon Empire and the Federation that led to an alliance that continued into O'Brien's time.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Both O'Brien and Kirk were old soldiers whose traumatic experiences in the battlefield led to prejudice against their former enemies. Captain Kirk's darkest movie moment came when he angrily told Captain Spock to let the Klingons die in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
Unfortunately, a new threat emerged between the Federation-Klingon alliance in The Undiscovered Country and the start of the Star Trek: The Next Generation timeline. The war between the Cardassian Union and the Federation lasted for several years, and left a lasting impact on Miles O'Brien. In TNG season 4, episode 12, "The Wounded", O'Brien's former Captain is accused of attacking Cardassian ships and facilities.
How O'Brien & The Cardassians Echoed Kirk & The Klingons The clearest link between O'Brien and Kirk is in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine season 2, episode 25, "Tribunal." Like Kirk in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Miles is framed for a crime he didn't commit and is forced to endure an alien legal system.
Like Kirk's crew on the USS Enterprise-A, O'Brien's crew mates back on Deep Space Nine doggedly investigate the crime, discovering that he was framed. The Cardassian Union used O'Brien's anti-Cardassian prejudice as part of an elaborate deception to justify an attack on Federation colonies. As with Kirk, O'Brien's innocence in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine proved that he had overcome his prejudice to avoid further bloodshed, in honor of those that he had lost.
