Pavel Chekov

Navigator on the original Starship Enterprise under the command of Captain James Kirk. Born in 2245, Chekov held the rank of ensign during his first mission aboard the ship. His Starfleet serial number was 656-5827B. Pavel Andreievich Chekov was an only child, although he once imagined he had a brother named Piotr while under the influence of the Beta XII-A entity. While at Starfleet Academy, Chekov became involved with a young woman named Irina Galliulin, but the relationship did not last because Galliulin was uncomfortable with the structured way of life required by Starfleet. Years later, the two met again when Galliulin sought the mythical planet Eden with Dr. Sevrin. In 2267, Chekov was the only member of an Enterprise landing party to Gamma Hydra IV who was not affected with an aging disease. During the mission, Chekov became startled at the sight of a dead colonist. The surge of adrenaline protected him from radiation sickness that caused the aging process. Chekov was promoted to lieutenant and assigned as security chief aboard the Enterprise following the conclusion of Kirk's first five-year mission. Chekov later served aboard the U.S.S. Reliant as first officer under Captain Clark Terrell, before returning to the Enterprise after the Reliant was destroyed at the Mutara Nebula by Khan. Chekov was an honored guest during the maiden voyage of the U.S.S. Enterprise-B in 2294.
