Star Trek·Starfleet Academy·fictional character
Pavel Andreievich Chekov was a Human Starfleet officer of the 23rd century, born in Russia on Earth. The youngest of the senior staff, he joined the USS Enterprise under Captain James T. Kirk and served a variable role that ranged well beyond his primary post.
Best known as the Enterprise's navigator, Chekov was also proficient at the science station, standing in for Commander Spock when needed. Enthusiastic and proud of his heritage, he formed a lasting friendship with helmsman Hikaru Sulu over their many missions together.
