Navigator on the original starship Enterprise. Born in 2245, Chekov had the rank of ensign during his first mission aboard the ship. His Starfleet serial number was 656-5827B. Pavel 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, they met again when Galliulin sought the mythical planet Eden with Dr. Sevrin. Chekov was promoted to lieutenant and assigned as security chief aboard the Enterprise following the conclusion of Kirk's five year mission. Chekov later served aboard the USS Reliant as science officer under Captain Clark Terrel, before it was destroyed at the Mutara Nebula by Khan Noonien Singh.
