Daneeka was a member of Starfleet who served under Captain Leyton aboard the USS Okinawa when Benjamin Sisko was the ship's executive officer. In 2372, Leyton, then an admiral, reassigned Daneeka to Facilities, Starfleet Command on stardate 49264 as part of his preparations to launch a military coup. (DS9: "Paradise Lost")

The unauthorized reference book The Nitpicker's Guide for Deep Space Nine Trekkers (p. 339) notes that the crew of the Okinawa (apart from Sisko) were named after characters in Joseph Heller's novel Catch-22. Doc Daneeka was a character in the novel.
The Star Trek Customizable Card Game also gives him the name of Daneeka, however did not mention his background with Leyton, but suggested that Daneeka was an enlisted technician aboard the USS Enterprise-D.
