10 Worst Admirals In Star Trek

10. William Ross - Inter Arma Enim Silent Legis

Kicking off this list is a controversial pick - Admiral William Ross, who was one of Captain Sisko's greatest supporters during the Dominion War. While he is remembered by most as a hero, his actions regarding the deposition of Senator Cretak are a far muddier affair.

It is here that Section 31 displayed their influence over the brightest stars in the fleet. It didn't take too much convincing for Ross to agree to Sloane's plan, which in turn led Dr. Bashir to travelling to Romulus. The plan to foil a future war between the two superpowers - long before the current war had ended - may have been paved with good intentions, yet at the cost of a good person's life.

Cretak is arrested and removed from the Romulan senate, despite the friendship that existed between Ross and her. In fact, it was his intelligence on her that made her the target - as Ross says himself to Bashir, she was a patriot, one who would always seek the best case scenario for the Romulan Empire - not necessarily considering the best interests of the Federation.

The entire event is never mentioned again, yet it leaves a dark mark on the legacy of William Ross.
