William "Bill" Smillie was a line and flag officer who was Starfleet commander-in-chief in the 2290s. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
Though Smillie was not involved in Admiral Cartwright's conspiracy, he nonetheless resigned in shame after the Khitomer Conference, and was succeeded by Androvar Drake. Unfortunately, Drake himself had been a member of the conspiracy, and his actions as C-in-C nearly led to a war between the Klingons, Romulans and the Federation before his death at Chal. (TOS novels: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home; The Ashes of Eden)
