Rear Admiral Rollman was a Human female Starfleet flag officer who served during the mid-24th century.
In 2369, Rollman was attending a staff meeting when Kira Nerys contacted her about being unhappy about Benjamin Sisko's handling of the matter of asylum for the Bajoran terrorist Tahna Los. Rollman later contacted Sisko, warning him a serious problem was developing on Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Past Prologue")
A year later, Rollman was assigned as commanding officer of Starbase 401 when a replicant of Miles O'Brien contacted her as he believed that there was a conspiracy on Deep Space 9. Rollman ordered him to return to the station but the replicant disobeyed this order and proceeded to head to Parada IV, where he learned the truth about his origin. (DS9: "Whispers")
