Una Chin-Riley, commonly and originally only known as Number One, is a fictional character in the science-fiction franchise ''Star Trek''. She is Christopher Pike's second-in-command during his captaincy of the starship ''Enterprise''. She first appeared, portrayed by Majel Barrett, in " The Cage", the initial 1965 pilot episode of the original series.
