Lieutenant John Andrew Stiles was a human Starfleet officer, and one in a line of many Starfleet officers who served from the Earth-Romulan Wars to the Dominion War. He was assigned to the USS Enterprise in the 2260s as a weapons officer.
In 2265, Stiles attended Lieutenant Lee Kelso's memorial service in the ship's chapel. (TOS novel: Constitution)
In 2266, Stiles was promoted out of the weapons room and assigned to bridge duty as one of the ship's navigators. On one of his first missions as navigator, the Enterprise responded to a Romulan attack on several Federation outposts along the Neutral Zone. During this mission, the Romulans were revealed to be Vulcanoid and Stiles began to suspect that Commander Spock was a Romulan collaborator. When Spock saved Stiles life, his views changed somewhat. (TOS episode: "Balance of Terror")
- The novelization of this episode by James Blish states that Stiles served as second officer, and was later killed during the battle with the Romulans.
Stiles left the Enterprise some weeks later and eventually raised a family. His grandson, Eric Stiles would serve in Starfleet in the late 24th century. (TNG novel: Red Sector)
