After her fiancé and teacher, [[Doctor]] [[Roger Korby]], went missing and was presumed dead, Christine Chapel did not give up hope that she would find him alive, and she abandoned her career as a bio-researcher to serve in [[Starfleet]] in the hope that she would find her fiancé among the stars.<ref name="TOS10"/> By [[2266]], Chapel was posted to the [[U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701|U.S.S. ''Enterprise'' NCC-1701]].<ref name="TOS07"/> As a nurse on the ''Enterprise,'' Chapel proved to be an asset to Dr. [[Leonard McCoy|McCoy]]'s sickbay, maintaining a professional attitude in some difficult situations.<ref name="TOS29"/> 

Chapel believed that she had found Korby on [[Stardate]] [[2266#SD2712|2712.4]], but he had transferred his mind into an [[androids|android]] body. After this mission, Chapel decided to remain aboard the Enterprise.<ref name="TOS10"/> Her love for Korby had already started to find a new focus on the ship's unobtainable half-[[Vulcans|Vulcan]] [[First Officer]], [[Starfleet Commander|Commander]] [[Spock]], but, much to her disappointment, he never seemed to return her interest.<ref name="TOS07"/> The closest that Chapel came to having a romantic encounter with Spock was when they were forced to kiss by the powerful [[Platonians]].<ref name="TOS67"/>

Following the end of [[Starfleet Captain|Captain]] [[James T. Kirk|Kirk]]'s first five-year mission aboard the ''Enterprise,'' Chapel returned to school and completed her degree as a [[physician|medical doctor]], and became the [[Chief Medical Officer]] aboard the ship, now commanded by Captain [[Will Decker]], and replacing the now-retired Dr. McCoy.<ref name="ST01"/> She remained aboard following the [[V'Ger]] incident as a member of McCoy's surgical staff before she accepted a promotion to lieutenant commander and a post at [[Starfleet Command]].<ref name="ST04"/>
