'''Petty Officer Second Class<ref>[[Letter - Re:Polaski]]</ref> Shiela Polaski<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', page 49</ref>''' was a blond-haired [[UNSC]] [[Petty Officer Second Class]] assigned to the [[23rd Naval Air Squadron]] in [[2552]]. She was stationed aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} as a [[D77-TC|Pelican]] pilot. When that vessel fled the [[Battle of Reach]] and ended up at [[Installation 04]], Polaski survived the ''Autumn's'' crash landing.
'''Petty Officer, Second Class Shiela Polaski'''{{Ref/Reuse|lootcrate}} was a [[D77-TC Pelican]] [[pilot]] assigned to the [[23rd Naval Air Squadron]] stationed aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} in [[2552]].


She was never mentioned during [[The Battle of Installation 04]] but was among the handful of survivors who fled in a [[D77-TC|Pelican]] when the Halo was destroyed. She, [[Lieutenant (UNSC)|Lieutenant]] [[Elias Haverson]], [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]], and [[Corporal (UNSC)|Corporal]] [[Locklear]] hid in the debris field until they met with [[SPARTAN-117]] and [[Cortana (AI)|Cprtana]] in their [[Longsword]] fighter. Despite the harrowing experience of Installation 04, she was relatively levelheaded. At some point, [[Locklear]] developed a crush on her.<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', page 282</ref> She apparently returned his feelings.

She helped the Chief capture the [[Covenant]] [[Assault Carrier|flagship]] ''[[Ascendant Justice]]''. She then learned to pilot its [[DX-class Spirit Dropship|Covenant Dropship]]s, and when they returned to [[Reach]], she piloted the ship to the surface so they could locate the [[SPARTAN-IIs]] who had survived the fall of Reach.  
Following the [[Fall of Reach]], Polaski survived the ''Pillar of Autumn's'' crash landing on [[Installation 04]]. She was among the handful of survivors who later fled in a Pelican when the Halo was destroyed. She, [[Lieutenant (UNSC)|Lieutenant]] [[Elias Haverson]], [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]], and [[Corporal]] [[Locklear]] hid in the debris field until they met with [[John-117]] and [[Cortana]] in their [[Longsword]] fighter. Despite the harrowing experience of Installation 04, she was relatively levelheaded. At some point, Locklear developed a crush on her.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 282''</ref> She apparently returned his feelings.


When they returned to the ''Ascendant Justice'' and were caught in an anomalous [[Slipspace]] bubble, Polaski volunteered to pilot the Spartans outside the vessel to conduct extra-vehicular repairs.<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', page 218</ref> She was killed along with [[SPARTAN-044]] and [[SPARTAN-008]] when a renegade charge of [[plasma]] flash-vaporized the dropships cockpit.

When they returned to the ''Ascendant Justice'' and were caught in an anomalous [[Slipspace]] bubble, Polaski volunteered to pilot the Spartans outside the vessel to conduct [[extra-vehicular activity|extra-vehicular]] repairs.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 218''</ref> She was killed along with [[Anton-044]] and [[Li-008]] when a renegade charge of [[plasma]] flash-vaporized the dropship's cockpit.
*It is possible that either she or [[Haverson]] is the other soldier behind the Chief on the cover of [[Halo: First Strike]]. However, int the book she's described as wearing a flight suit, so this is improbable.
 
*It is possible that her [[Dropship 77-Troop Carrier|Pelican]] dropship may have been [[Echo 206]].
