The present Carrow militia formed around the recolonization of [[Suraka]] on Carrow after the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. In [[2558#July|July of 2558]], the militia was spurred to action in order to save a teenage girl, Dahlia, from being killed by Sangheili fighters loyal to Thars. Dahlia and two traders, [[Greta]] and [[Paul des Hommes]], had been imprisoned by at [[Masov Oasis]] until they were rescued by another Sangheili, [[Jat]]. The traders called for help from the militia from a trading depot and were picked up in the desert. It was only then that smoke from an ongoing battle was sighted and the Pelican carrying them made haste toward the location where Dahlia and Jat were under attack. The Carrow militia killed all Sangheili present, including Jat, much to Dahlia's dismay. Afterwards, they delivered her safely home to [[Sandholm]] with desperately-needed [[Drugs|antiviral medication]] for her and others in the village. Dahlia was permitted to keep a militia rifle with which she could defend Sandholm should the need arise. She also learned from the militia that [[Melody Azikiwe|an envoy]] from the [[Unified Earth Government]] was being sent to see if peace between the humans and Sangheili on the planet could be salvaged.{{Ref/Reuse| | The present Carrow militia formed around the recolonization of [[Suraka]] on Carrow after the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]].

Months later, the [[Carrow Conflict]] turned into a full-scale war between [[Rojka 'Kasaan]] and [[Thars 'Sarov]] after Thars brought [[Jiralhanae]] led by [[Hekabe]] to Carrow as backup. In reality, Heckabe sought a [[Sharquoi]] hive beneath Suraka that held hundreds of thousands of the creatures which Hekabe could control through the ''vertex''. The battle between the Sangheili and Jiralhanae destroyed the fleets of Rojka, Thars, Suraka and even Hekabe, leaving the Surakans with only merchant ships not capable of [[slipspace]]. The Militia's Command-and-Control branch then began coming up with plans to counter the Jiralhanae threat. This culminated in [[Operation: BUZZHAWK]], in which the militia managed to destroy Hekabe's [[flagship]], {{Pattern|Varric|heavy cruiser}} ''[[Foebane]]''. However, Hekabe succeeded in unleashing the Sharquoi. With the help of [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] [[Gray Team]], Rojka prevailed over Thars, killing him and his remaining loyalists, but Hekabe's forces got control of Thars' remaining ships. Under the leadership of Governor Ellis Gass, the militia determined that the ''vertex'' was vulnerable to [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] and created a makeshift weapon out of their [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]] and a [[Gauss cannon]] from a Warthog. At the same time the militias surviving ships were hijacked and destroyed in Hekabe's successful attempt to capture Thars' remaining ships. | Months later, the [[Carrow Conflict]] turned into a full-scale war between [[Rojka 'Kasaan]] and [[Thars 'Sarov]] after Thars brought [[Jiralhanae]] led by [[Hekabe]] to Carrow as backup.
