    Ensign Chekovimage's mirror "opposite" is actually surprisingly similar to his counterpart. They share OFFICER classification and icons, as well as Youth and Navigation. Ensign Chekov's generic SCIENCE skill becomes the specific Astrophysics (more useful for space dilemmas, especially in tandem with Navigation), and the evil twin adds Treachery and loses 2 INTEGRITY for attempting to assassinate his "keptin."

    Even his special skill is a slightly twisted version of the "good" Chekov's; instead of enhancing the Starship Enterprise (MM)'s RANGE by 2, he boosts the I.S.S. Enterpriseimage's RANGE by only 1 - and compensates with +1 to the WEAPONS. Clearly, Chief Navigator Chekov is more interested in laying waste to the enemy than in merely cruising the spacelanes.

    Combo:

    • Chief Navigator Chekov + Agricultural Assessmentimage: Mirror image though he may be, he's still "any Chekov" and completes the mission alone.
