Wesley was a missed opportunity for a Star Trek: Maquis Insurgency spin-off show. Hear me out:

In Preemptive Strike, Ro Laren is ordered to infiltrate the Maquis, but instead defects and joins the Maquis.

Meanwhile, Wesley graduates from Starfleet Academy. Starfleet Intelligence approaches Wesley with Ro Laren's original mission to infiltrate the Maquis. The training accident, Cadet Albert's death, and the court-martial from The First Duty is used a verifiable cover story to create credibility: Wesley is not fit for Starfleet and he is dissatisfied, so he wants to join the Maquis.

Wesley infiltrates the Maquis, discovers Nick Locarno has joined the Maquis. Nick Locarno confirms the training accident but does not trust Wesley. Wesley's intelligence-gathering mission is further complicated by Ro Laren who also suspects Wesley is working for SFI. Wesley discovers communications between Ro Laren, Locarno, and a third unknown Maquis: Wesley is being set up to test his loyalty and will be killed if he fails.

Wesley and Locarno are sent to attack a Cardassian supply depot but they are ambushed. During their escape, a firefight ensues: Locarno kills three Cardassian soldiers and Wesley is wounded. Wesley allows to Locarno to be severely wounded, then uses a Cardassian's weapon to kill Locarno and returns to the Maquis with Locarno's body as proof of his loyalty.

Maquis command believes Wesley but Ro is unconvinced and suspects Wesley murdered Locarno; Wesley believes their mission was sabotaged and the ambush was set up by the third unknown Maquis who Wesley now believes is a double agent.

Wesley struggles with his intelligence-gathering mission, the Maquis double agent trying to kill him, and his guilt for murdering Locarno.

Seriously, Paramount? Get at me. My number's in the book.
