**Ko-Rel** is a supporting character in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*. A Galactic War hero currently serving as a Nova Centurion, she is the captain of the frigate known as Hala's Hope, which patrols the Quarantine Zone. She has past history with Peter Quill, and is the mother of Cadet Nicholette Gold.

## Background

During her time as a resistance fighter, Ko-Rel and her squad fought against the Chitauri and were almost killed, but Peter Quill, Yondu Udonta, and the Ravagers helped Ko-Rel fight back. She fought alongside Quill for weeks and eventually became Quill's lover. When Mercury was finally liberated, Quill left Ko-Rel to pursue adventure with the Ravagers.

Years later, Ko-Rel would join the Nova Corps and rise its ranks to become a Centurion and captain Hala's Hope. During one of her missions, she saved Nikki from the Kree and adopted her as a daughter.

## Gameplay

Ko-Rel appears in Chapter 2: Busted, during which Peter's choices will affect how much their fine will be, and whether or not he gets a Nova passkey from Nikki.

Items related to her include the archive Upcoming Accuser Visit, as well as Peter's Chewbacca Toy and her own Galactic War Commendation, all of which can be found in her quarters during Chapter 7: Canine Confusion.

KO-REL
Ko-Rel was a proud Kree soldier shot down near the start of the Galactic War. She rallied the survivors of her crashed frigate, holding out against the fearsome Chitauri aggressors despite impossible odds. Her distress call was eventually answered by Nova Corpsman Richard Rider and his growing Resistance. They brought grim news—the Corps had been decimated and Ko-Rel's family was killed in a Chitauri offensive.

The Kree High Command granted Ko-Rel's request to let her join the Resistance as a liaison between the two allied groups. She would soon become a Resistance war hero, fighting alongside notable warriors like Rider, the notorious Ravagers, and even Gamora Zen-Whoberi, daughter of the Mad Titan, Thanos. Eventually, the Resistane and the Kree Empire would claim victory at Chitauri Prime itself. Rider invited Ko-Rel to join and rebuild the shattered Nova Corps. She resigned from the Kree army and accepted the offer.

Now a Nova Centurion, Ko-Rel leads efforts aboard Hala's Hope to contain deadly war wreckage and oversee its transfer to the Quarantine Zone. She lives with her young daughter and wayward understudy, Cadet Nicholette Gold.
