Claudia LaSalle served as a bridge officer aboard the SDF-1 Macross during Space War I, overseeing weaponry and navigation systems. Her responsibilities included monitoring reactor status, managing firing sequences, and coordinating system operations during combat, such as when the Macross autonomously engaged Zentradi forces. She cultivated a professional yet approachable demeanor among the bridge crew. Her closest friendship was with fellow officer Misa Hayase; Claudia frequently advised Hayase on personal matters, especially regarding Hayase's complex feelings for Hikaru Ichijyo. She offered pragmatic relationship perspectives while refraining from direct intervention in Hayase's romantic choices. Claudia was romantically involved with Roy Focker, sharing moments like an outing before the Macross launch and her preparation of a special meal for him post-battle. Focker's combat death deeply affected her, leading to mourning, though she maintained her duties without extended withdrawal. She appeared in archival footage and flashbacks within the OVA *Flash Back 2012*, surviving the original series' events. Speculation exists about a familial link to Edgar LaSalle from *Macross Zero*, but this remains unconfirmed. Beyond her confirmed appearances in the television series, the *Do You Remember Love?* film, and *Flash Back 2012*, she has no additional canonical appearances in subsequent Macross sequels or spin-offs.
