Michael Eddington (mirror)

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

For Eddington's primary universe counterpart, see Michael Eddington.

In the mirror universe, Michael Eddington, or better known as "Mike", was a general in the Terran Rebellion and served as General Miles "Smiley" O'Brien's right-hand man and staunchest supporter in the face of the growing power and influence of fellow rebellion Generals' Zek and Julian Bashir. Eddington was well regarded by Smiley as the Rebellion's finest guerrilla warfare commander, a trait shared with his counterpart.

When Zek and Bashir planned an attack on the Alliance homeworlds of Cardassia and Qo'noS by using Defiant-class warships constructed at the new rebel shipyard of Empok Nor, Zek offered Eddington a ship of his own, however, Eddington refused, as he knew that something would go wrong if so many rebel leaders came together in one place.

In the end, this suspicion saved his life as the Alliance launched a sneak attack on the shipyard; destroying Empok Nor, the warships, many rebels and leaders, and allowed Zek and Bashir to be taken prisoner by Alliance forces. Eddington helped "Smiley" regain hope after this defeat and convince him to continue to lead the Rebellion to their imminent victory over the Alliance.
