Biographical Information

Chapel began her medical career aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise, sacrificing a biology career with several university degrees in research medicine. Her fiancé, exobiologist Dr. Roger Korby, went missing in 2261. She joined Starfleet hoping that one day they would find him.

She became Head Nurse to Enterprise Chief Medical Officer Leonard McCoy in 2266.

In 2266, the Enterprise travelled to Exo III, the last known location of Roger Korby. Korby discovered technology left behind by an ancient civilization that can create android duplicates of humanoids. He planned on introducing the duplicates into key Federation positions. It was discovered that Korby was injured shortly after he arrived on Exo III, and the Korby that the Enterprise discovered was an android. After realizing that this, he destroyed himself.

Following the Enterprise's five-year mission of exploration, she finished her own medical degree, and was promoted to Chief Medical Officer of the refitted Enterprise, now under the command of Captain Willard Decker. However, after Dr. McCoy returned to the ship in 2273 during the V'Ger crisis, she later willingly stepped down to allow McCoy to return as Chief Medical Officer.
