==Biography==
+
==Early Life==
  +
Pavel Chekov, son of [[Andrei Chekov]], was born in 2241. Originating from [[Russia]], he spoke with a heavy Eastern European [[accent]], which caused him difficulty when speaking to Starfleet [[computer]] systems - his [[authorization code]] aboard the ''Enterprise'' - "9-5-Victor-Victor-2" - was particularly difficult to pronounce.
{{pna-incomplete}}
 
Originating from [[Russia]], he spoke with a heavy Eastern European accent, which caused a problem when he had to voice input his [[authorization code]] "9-5-Victor-Victor-2". (His accent meant he had trouble correctly pronouncing Vs, which sounded like W's when he spoke them, hence "9-5-Wiktor-Wiktor-2.")

==USS Enterprise==
Chekov displayed great intellectual brilliance when he was able to [[transporter|transport]] {{alt|James T. Kirk}} and {{alt|Hikaru Sulu}} back to the ''Enterprise'' as they were falling to {{alt|Vulcan}}. Sadly, he did not have enough time to use the same technique to save {{alt|Amanda Grayson}}, {{alt|Spock}}'s mother.

  +
In [[2259]], Chekov was the [[navigator]] assigned to the ''Enterprise'' during her impromptu [[maiden voyage]] - an emergency mission to protect the [[planet]] {{dis|Vulcan|planet}} from attack by the [[time travel]]ling [[war criminal]], [[Nero]].
   
  +
Departing [[Earth]]'s [[Starbase 1]], [[Captain]] {{alt|Christopher Pike}} addressed Chekov as "Russian whiz-kid", ordering the ensign to use the comm to brief the ''Enterprise'' crew on the task at hand. As the ''Enterprise'' confronted Nero, Chekov used his superior mathematical skills to calculate the coordinates for [[transporter|beaming]] faster than the computer - allowing him to personally transport {{alt|James T. Kirk}} and {{alt|Hikaru Sulu}} back aboard the ''Enterprise'' before they fell into the [[singularity]] created on Vulcan by Nero.
After the destruction of Vulcan, Chekov devised a way to beam Kirk and [[Commander]] {{alt|Spock}} to the ''[[Narada]]'', without [[Nero]] noticing the ''Enterprise'' being near his ship. Chekov's plan had the ''Enterprise'' drop out of warp near [[Titan]], one of [[Saturn]]'s moons, which hid the ''Enterprise'' from being detected, then had {{alt|Montgomery Scott}} beam the two to the ''Narada''. Chekov's plan was ultimately instrumental in saving [[Earth]]. After Earth was saved, Chekov served again as navigator under newly promoted Captain James T. Kirk and left with the crew to explore space. ({{film|11}})
 
   
  +
Remaining in the transporter room, Chekov also transported {{alt|Spock}}, {{alt|Sarek}} and the surviving members of the [[Vulcan High Council]] from the surface of Vulcan. He was, however, unable to save Spock's mother, {{alt|Amanda Grayson}}, before she fell to her death.
[[2259|The following year]], Chekov became [[chief engineering officer]] after Scott left following a dispute with Kirk, though he expressed some apprehension about donning a [[redshirt|red shirt]]. Chekov had to deal with the [[warp core]] breaking down, though it was sufficiently repaired to flee when the ''Enterprise'' was attacked by the {{USS|Vengeance}}. He later prevented Kirk and Scott (who had returned to the ship) from falling to their deaths while the ship lost its [[artificial gravity]].

After the destruction of Vulcan, Chekov devised a way to beam Kirk and [[Commander]] {{alt|Spock}} to the ''[[Narada]]'', without Nero knowing the ''Enterprise'' was in proximity to his ship. Chekov's plan required the ''Enterprise'' to drop out of [[warp]]] near [[Titan]], one of [[Saturn]]'s moons, which hid the obscured the ship from the [[Romulan]]s' [[sensor]]s, allowing Kirk and Spock to successfully beam over undetected. Chekov's plan was ultimately instrumental in saving [[Earth]].

"Ensign Chekov, Pavel Andreievich, sir."
– Pavel Chekov to Christopher Pike, 2258 (Star Trek)

Pavel Andreievich Chekov was a child prodigy and a Starfleet ensign for the Federation, assigned as a navigator to the USS Enterprise in 2258, at the age of 17.

Early Life

Pavel Chekov, son of Andrei Chekov, was born in 2241. Originating from Russia, he spoke with a heavy Eastern European accent, which caused him difficulty when speaking to Starfleet computer systems - his authorization code aboard the Enterprise - "9-5-Victor-Victor-2" - was particularly difficult to pronounce.

According to his dossier at the official Star Trek movie website, Chekov was top of his class in stellar cartography and transporter theory, an expert in advanced theoretical physics, and the youngest cadet in history to win the Starfleet Academy marathon.

In 2259, Chekov was the navigator assigned to the Enterprise during her impromptu maiden voyage - an emergency mission to protect the planet Vulcan from attack by the time travelling war criminal, Nero.

Departing Earth's Starbase 1, Captain Christopher Pike addressed Chekov as "Russian whiz-kid", ordering the ensign to use the comm to brief the Enterprise crew on the task at hand. As the Enterprise confronted Nero, Chekov used his superior mathematical skills to calculate the coordinates for beaming faster than the computer - allowing him to personally transport James T. Kirk and Hikaru Sulu back aboard the Enterprise before they fell into the singularity created on Vulcan by Nero.

Remaining in the transporter room, Chekov also transported Spock, Sarek and the surviving members of the Vulcan High Council from the surface of Vulcan. He was, however, unable to save Spock's mother, Amanda Grayson, before she fell to her death.

Background information

Chekov's age in 2258 places his birth in 2241, which is different from the birth of his prime universe counterpart in 2245 (according to TOS: "Who Mourns for Adonais?").

Apocrypha

In the Star Trek video game, an audio log can be found in engineering where Chekov mentions he ran away at a young age to join Starfleet.

According to the Star Trek iTunes movie app, Chekov was born in Tagnarog, Russia (the real-life home of Anton Chekhov). His mother's name was Anna (who is now deceased). His family spent several years at the Mare Imbrium colony on Luna. He graduated from Moscow State University in 2256, where he then enlisted in Starfleet, graduating from the Academy in 2258. It should be noted that he beat Big Blue in a game of 3D chess. Chekov received a special commendation for bravery in the line of duty during Enterprise's recent mission to Pollux IV.

According to "The Gemini Agent", Chekov liked to run on the academy grounds barefoot. Due to his youth, he was often treated like a little brother by the older girls in his dorm. He was also known in the underground web for being a white hat hacker.

According to "The Khitomer Conflict, Part 1", issue 25 of Star Trek: Ongoing, in 2261, Chekov was promoted to Lieutenant.

The 2013 virtual collectible card battle game Star Trek: Rivals is using his pictures for card #79 "Ensign P. Chekhov" and card #95 "Acting Engineer P. Chekhov".
