Charles "Trip" Tucker III (short for “Triple”, since he is the third generation of his family to be named Charles Tucker), played by Connor Trinneer, is a fictional character in the television series Star Trek: Enterprise.
Tucker was the chief engineer on the Enterprise, and also briefly served as chief engineer aboard the Columbia.
Tucker first met Jonathan Archer about a decade prior to the launch of Enterprise when the two worked together on an early warp 2 prototype vessel using the warp engine designed by Archer's father, Henry Archer.
While a knowledgeable engineer, Tucker can be rash and “illogical”, a fact that early on causes friction between him and Enterprise’s Vulcan science officer, T'Pol. During the first year of Enterprise's mission, he finds himself coping with situations no Starfleet engineer has ever coped with, and is a key player in the vessel finally achieving its then-record breaking speed of warp 5. Tucker also has to contend with a more dubious honor when he becomes the first human male to become pregnant.
