The USS Christopher Pike (NCC-72091) was a Galaxy-class Federation starship active in the late 24th century. She was at least the second vessel to bear the name. (Star Trek: Pendragon: "True North") Launched in 2368, the Chris Pike's commanding officer was Captain Brady Thornton. Commander Timothy Sinclair served as her first officer from 2371 until 2374. He was succeeded (briefly) by Mark Montgomery. Lt. Commander Horatio McCoy was the Pike's chief engineer from her launch at least into the 2380s.
