Background

Jeffrey Pike's grandparents are Star Service Fleet Captain Christopher Pike and Vina, the lone survivor of the S.S. Columbia that crash-landed on the planet Talos IV in 2232. They had three children, Todd, Dusty, and Steve. The children were returned to the Federation from Talos IV soon after their births for reasons classified under General Order Seven. They were raised by relatives in Mojave. Steve became acquainted with and later married a woman named Lauren Goodwin, and two and a half years later they had their only child, Jeffrey.

Jeffrey entered Starfleet Academy as a Midshipman at age 19. He majored in Spatial Navigation and Warp Drive Engineering, and finished fifth in his class. During the initial planetary survey of Chamelar IX, he discovered and apprehended a Chameloid who had used its abilities of cellular metamorphosis to take the form of a fellow crewmember. After distinguishing himself in the Battle of Wolf 359, he was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and positioned as Chief Security Officer onboard the USS Sentinel. During the Dominion War, the vessel was destroyed. Pike, for his bravery and cunning, was promoted again to Captain and given the command of the U.S.S. Excalibur-C. While Captain, Pike participated in over two hundred planetary surveys. He accepted promotion to Commodore at age 41, and was given command of the USS Knight, the premier exploration vessel of the Alpha Quadrant.

While in command of the Knight, Pike successfully resolved a Talosian illusion of a Kelvan invasion into the Milky Way Galaxy. The Talosians revealed that the illusion had been a test of humanity, and that there was a real Kelvan invasion force on its way. Immediately after this mission, Pike was promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral and given the position of Starfleet's Chief of Operations.

In July of 2384, when the Kelvan invasion force finally arrived in the Milky Way, Pike was sent to the USS Ronin to help resolve the situation once again. The real Kelvan invasion turned out to be much more serious than the Talosian illusion had led the Federation tactical planners to believe, nevertheless, through the valor and sacrifice of the Ronin's crew the crisis was overcome and the Kelvans were peacefully transplanted back into their original home galaxy. After returning to Starfleet Headquarters, Pike was promoted to Admiral, and returned to his duties as Chief of Operations.

Psychological Profile

Pike's psychological profile shows him to be slightly introverted, with an aggression index unusually low for a starship commander. He is prone to very mild fits of depression and daydreaming, although not to an extent detrimental to his duties.

Pike has had no serious romances since becoming XO on the Excalibur-C. A mild fixation on his ship and duties seems to have served as an emotional block in this respect.
