Rachel Coriolis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rachel Coriolis is a popular character in the Wing Commander video game universe.
In Wing Commander III and Wing Commander: Prophecy, the character of Rachel is played by Ginger Lynn Allen. She is one of two possible love interests for Christopher Blair (played by Mark Hamill of Star Wars fame). Even if Blair does not choose her, they maintain a flirtatious relationship throughout the game--Rachel has many brief cutscenes, including one at the end of nearly every mission "grading" Blair's performance (based on how shot up his craft is) or informing him if an ejected wingman made it back safe.
In the video game, Rachel Coriolis can end up with Blair at the end of Wing Commander III. However, they are not shown together, nor is she even mentioned, in the series' fourth installment. She returned as the Chief Mechanic of the Midway in the fifth game, Wing Commander: Prophecy. The game manual includes an "email" from Paladin to Maverick mentioning them getting along well after their "falling out" at the end of the war. Lt. Casey is immediately taken with her (so much so that he cannot speak on their first encounter) but the two quickly become friends.
