A Starfleet admiral to whom Benjamin Sisko reports early in his command of Deep Space 9, seen in Past Prologue and again in the second-season episode Whispers.
Admiral Rollman is a Starfleet flag officer who appears on viewscreens in two episodes of Deep Space Nine. In the first-season episode Past Prologue, Kira Nerys goes over Benjamin Sisko's head to her, objecting to his handling of the asylum request of the Bajoran terrorist Tahna Los.
Rollman hears the major out and then tells Sisko privately that he has a problem with his first officer, leaving him to deal with it. The exchange is an early test of the trust between the commander and Kira.
She returns in Whispers, when a Miles O'Brien who believes the whole senior staff has been compromised flees the station in a runabout and contacts her at Starbase 401. To his dismay she orders him to turn back and surrender, apparently part of the same conspiracy; in truth she has been told he is a replicant.
