Early Years and Starfleet Academy
Rachel was born in 2382 in Chicago, at an early age her father was lost in the a battle with the Romulans. Her mother never recovered from the loss and nearly prevented her from entering Starfleet Academy as a result.

The Covaks family has served in Starfleet since the 23rd century, Rachel is simply the latest in a long line of officers. However, she is the first member of her family to reach the rank of Captain.

The Morgana incident
In late 2408, Rachel was a lieutenant on board the U.S.S. Morgana, serving as their Chief of Security. The Morgana was called to a Romulan colony to mediate between the Romulan Empire and the colonists, who where attempting to break from the Empire. The captain took the rash action to provide the colonists with weapons, a violation of the Prime Directive. When the result was an massacre on the planet, Rachel led most of the crew in a mutiny against the Captain and First Officer, most of the bridge crew into the brig before it was all over. The officers stood Court Martial and Rachel was promotted to Commander, and assigned to the Constance as the first officer.

The Romulan colony is currently in a state of chaos.
