The Pike was a Federation type 15 shuttlepod that was in service to Starfleet in the mid-24th century, attached to the USS Enterprise-D. It was shuttlepod number 12. In 2366, the Pike was destroyed while on a mission piloted by Lt. Cmdr. Data. It had been sabotaged by merchant Kivas Fajo, who made it appear as if Data also perished in the explosion. (TNG: "The Most Toys" ) The Pike was named for Christopher Pike, early captain of the USS Enterprise. (Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 2, p. 146)
