Template:Sidebar character Robert Wesley was a former 23rd century Starfleet officer, and later governor of the planet Mantilles. He had one daughter named Katie, and he was an old friend with James T. Kirk.
In 2268, Commodore Wesley commanded the USS Lexington in the disastrous M-5 war games. During the war games, the M-5 computer malfunctioned and the USS Enterprise was deemed out-of-control following the destruction of the USS Excalibur . Wesley requested permission to destroy the Enterprise with his remaining battle force to end the threat that it posed. His request was approved; however, fortunately, the Enterprise was able to deactivate the M-5 computer and drop its shields before Wesley's battle force could attack. (TOS: "The Ultimate Computer")
He retired from Starfleet to become governor of Mantilles, the most remote inhabited planet in the Federation. The planet was threatened by a cosmic cloud in 2269, but Governor Wesley remained calm and prevented panic from spreading on Mantilles. He evacuated 5,000 children from Mantilles in attempt to spare their lives. Their ships would later be recalled following the diversion of the cosmic cloud. (TAS: "One of Our Planets Is Missing")
Background
Commodore Wesley was portrayed by actor Barry Russo, although in his Star Trek: The Animated Series appearance he was voiced by James Doohan.
Some have speculated that the fleet admiral in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier played by Harve Bennett may have been intended to represent Wesley, since Kirk also referred to him as "Bob", and they did appear to be friends. There is no canonical corroboration for this speculation, however.
"Robert Wesley" was originally the pen name Gene Roddenberry used when getting his start as a professional writer, while still an officer of the LAPD.
Wesley's biography in the Star Trek: Starship Creator suggests that he was the first officer of the USS Enterprise, under Captain Robert April.
