She has served on three ships and a station during her time in the fleet, the USS Wallace, the USS Independence, the USS Tiger and Starbase 118 Ops. She began her career as a medical officer on the USS Wallace. When the Wallace was decommissioned, she was transferred to the USS Independence where she was promoted to Chief Medical Officer.

On Stardate 238505.04, Commander Sidney Riley was given command of the USS Tiger, a Steamrunner-Wolverine class vessel, which was given a semi-permanent assignment as a support vessel for Deep Space 17 in the Ithassa Region.

• Current Postition: Commanding Officer
• Gender: Female
• Species: 7/8 Terran (Half Irish, Half Native American), 1/8 Deltan
• Zodiac Sign: Leo
• Telepathic Status: E-2/T-2 However, as with most Deltans the empathy and telepathy only work between Sidney and one other Deltan. The Deltan closest to her is Lieutenant Bron Storos. She often feels empathy for him and can in extreme situations communicate telepathically with him. Her status is underdeveloped though as she is only 1/8 Deltan and it does not always work and very rarely works on command. Sidney also has some healing ability from her Deltan ancestors, however, she is not aware of this ability. She is still developing and realizing the abilities she has from her Deltan ancestors.
• The Pheromone Issue: Sidney has been tested for Deltan Pheromones by Starfleet Medical. While she does have Deltan Pheromones in her system, the level of concentration is not significant enough to cause any issues between Sidney and others. Thus she is not required to take the Deltan Oath of Celibacy. The pheromones in her system do allow her to interact with other Deltans without side effects.
