EdwardJellico (played by Ronny Cox) was a 24th century Starfleet officer who served as the commanding officer of the Federation starships USS Cairo and USS Enterprise-D during the late 2360s.
In 2367, Jellico was instrumental in the peace treaty negotiations between the United Federation of Planets and the Cardassian Union.
Jellico's experience in dealing with the Cardassians was thought to be invaluable, given the developing potential for conflict between the two powers.
Jellico was born in Houston, Texas, on Earth in 2311.
During the battle, the tactical officer was killed, and Lt. Jellico assumed her position, successfully devising a strategy to defeat the Cardassians.
However, Jellico still had time to consider creating a family, and in 2359 he married a human woman named Deborah, and two years later, their son, Franklin Paul Jellico was born.
