During the [[Battle of Installation 04]], she piloted [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] ''[[Echo 419]]'' and served as a crucial asset to the [[John-117|Master Chief]] during the [[Battle of Installation 04]] in the [[Human-Covenant War]] by delivering the latter [[M12 Chaingun Warthog|Warthogs]], [[Marines|allies]] and transportation to and from different points on [[Installation 04]].


'''Flight Officer Captain Carol Rawley''' (alternatively known by her [[Call Sign]] '''Foehammer''') was the pilot of [[Pelican]] transport [[Echo 419]] on the ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]'' in [[2552]].

== Biography ==
===Battle of Installation 04===
After the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} made a "blind" [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] jump to the [[Soell system]], [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces boarded the ship. Rawley and many other members of her squadron, including her co-pilot, [[Lieutenant]] [[Frye]], and her crew chief, [[Cullen]], escaped during the ensuing battle and descended to the surface of Installation 04 where many UNSC forces had landed. While the rest of the ship's crew and complement were escaping in [[Bumblebee escape pod|lifeboats]], Rawley led the pilots in flying their Pelicans off the vessel, feeling that they would soon prove useful.


On the surface of Installation 04, she helped [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[John-117]] and [[Cortana]] gather scattered [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] and transported them to [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]]. Shortly after, Cortana hacked into the [[proselytization network|Covenant battlenet]] and discovered that [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] had been taken prisoner by the Covenant, a rare thing for the Covenant to do to a human. That night, Foe Hammer was called upon to insert John, Cortana, and a team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s to rescue Captain Keyes in a raid on the {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''.


Not long after the ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]'' made a blind jump to the [[Threshold]] system, [[Covenant]] forces descended once again upon the ship. [[Foehammer]] escaped in the ensuing battle and descended to the surface of [[Installation 04]], where many [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces have landed. There, she helped the [[Master Chief]] and [[Cortana]] pick up scattered [[Marines]] and get them out of the battlefield and back to [[Alpha Base]]. She and Frye assist the [[Chief]] and [[Cortana]] many times through the [[Battle of Installation 04]], including helping them rescue [[Captain Keyes]] in a daring raid on the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'', landing them and a squadron of Marines on a beach to take the [[Silent Cartographer]], ferrying them to the [[Control Room]], and landing them at the [[Flood Containment Facility]]. Unfortunately she is tragically shot down later by [[Covenant]] [[Banshee]]s as she attempts to pick up the Chief one last time and escape Installation 04 minutes before the ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]'' explodes and destroys Halo.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 338,339</ref>  
The next day, Foe Hammer deployed the pair and a squad of Marines on a beach to secure the [[Silent Cartographer]], and later ferried John and Cortana to the [[Control Room]]. On the night of September 20, Foe Hammer carried John-117 to the installation's [[Flood containment facility]]. Foe Hammer and her crew survived the [[Flood]] outbreak by remaining airborne.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level, ''[[343 Guilty Spark (level)|343 Guilty Spark]]''</ref>


Foehammer is one of the best crewmen of the [[Pillar of Autumn]], and possibly in the [[UNSC]] itself. Fear is never expressed in her voice, and she has the efficiency to get the job done. Foehammer puts soldiers down on dangerous LZs without hesitation, takes heavy fire without batting an eye, ignores the odds and the consequences, and doesn't panic.
After the Chief caused the ''Pillar of Autumn''{{'}}s engines to destabilize, Foe Hammer was called by Cortana to evacuate the Chief from the pending destruction. When Foe Hammer reached the designated evac point where the Chief and Cortana had been waiting at for only seconds, she was pursued by twin [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] and shot down. Although it is possible that Rawley and/or some of her crew managed to survive the presumed crash (which was not actually witnessed), they certainly would have been killed moments later in the destruction of the Halo ring. The normally stoic Master Chief was saddened by Foe Hammer's death, having befriended the pilot during the short time they'd known each other.<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''pages 338 and 339''</ref>


In addition, Foehammer is one of the few female characters of note in [[Halo]]. She, [[Cortana]], the pilot of Keyes' Pelican in the Flood complex raid, and the pilot of Master Chief's escape pod are the only females in the original video game. The second game features two female [[Marines]], voiced by [[Wikipedia:Michelle Rodriguez|Michelle Rodriguez]], and [[Laura Prepon]], as well as [[Commander Miranda Keyes]], voiced by [[Julie Benz]]. The series of books provides a wider view of the soldiers, several of whom are female.
== Personality ==
Rawley was considered one of the best crewmen of the ''Pillar of Autumn''. She never expressed fear in her voice, and she was considered to have been a very efficient pilot. Foe Hammer put soldiers down on landing zones filled with hostile forces without hesitation, took heavy fire, ignored the odds and the consequences, and did not panic. In addition, she was known to joke around and have a sense of humor.

*Rawley was voiced by [[Tawnya Pettiford-Wates|Tanya Pettiford-Wates]].
*The call sign "Foe Hammer" is [[list of Marathon references in Halo|a reference]] to the fourteenth level of ''[[Marathon|Marathon Infinity]]''. In turn, the level's name is a reference to Glamdring, [[Wikipedia:Gandalf|Gandalf]]'s sword in the Middle-earth legendarium, which translated into English means "Foe-hammer". Foe Hammer is also the name of the dragon-slaying arrow in Stephen King's book ''The Eyes of the Dragon''.
*Foe Hammer is addressed by Cortana as a lieutenant in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', though she was actually a captain. However, it is possible that Cortana was addressing Lieutenant Frye, though this is unlikely, as Foe Hammer was the senior officer on board, and was thus in charge of ''Echo 419''.
*In the original ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', "Foe Hammer" is an unseen character, as she never leaves the cockpit of ''Echo 419'', which has an opaque windshield. However, the Pelicans in the remake, ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|Halo: Anniversary]]'', have transparent windshields, and Carol Rawley is depicted using the model of a generic Caucasian dropship pilot, likely taken from the one piloting the [[Bumblebee]] escape pod in the cutscene at the end of ''The Pillar of Autumn''.


*The [[call sign]] "Foehammer" comes from the fourteenth level of [[Marathon|Marathon Infinity]].

Flight Officer Captain Carol Rawley, better known by her call sign Foe Hammer,[Note 1] was a pilot in the UNSC's 23rd Naval Air Squadron. During the Battle of Installation 04, she piloted Pelican Echo 419 and served as a crucial asset to the Master Chief during the Battle of Installation 04 in the Human-Covenant War by delivering the latter Warthogs, allies and transportation to and from different points on Installation 04.

Biography[edit]

Battle of Installation 04[edit]

After the UNSC Pillar of Autumn made a "blind" slipspace jump to the Soell system, Covenant forces boarded the ship. Rawley and many other members of her squadron, including her co-pilot, Lieutenant Frye, and her crew chief, Cullen, escaped during the ensuing battle and descended to the surface of Installation 04 where many UNSC forces had landed. While the rest of the ship's crew and complement were escaping in lifeboats, Rawley led the pilots in flying their Pelicans off the vessel, feeling that they would soon prove useful.

On the surface of Installation 04, she helped SPARTAN John-117 and Cortana gather scattered Marines and transported them to Alpha Base. Shortly after, Cortana hacked into the Covenant battlenet and discovered that Captain Jacob Keyes had been taken prisoner by the Covenant, a rare thing for the Covenant to do to a human. That night, Foe Hammer was called upon to insert John, Cortana, and a team of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers to rescue Captain Keyes in a raid on the Ket-pattern battlecruiser Truth and Reconciliation.

The next day, Foe Hammer deployed the pair and a squad of Marines on a beach to secure the Silent Cartographer, and later ferried John and Cortana to the Control Room. On the night of September 20, Foe Hammer carried John-117 to the installation's Flood containment facility. Foe Hammer and her crew survived the Flood outbreak by remaining airborne.[3]

After the Chief caused the Pillar of Autumn's engines to destabilize, Foe Hammer was called by Cortana to evacuate the Chief from the pending destruction. When Foe Hammer reached the designated evac point where the Chief and Cortana had been waiting at for only seconds, she was pursued by twin Banshees and shot down. Although it is possible that Rawley and/or some of her crew managed to survive the presumed crash (which was not actually witnessed), they certainly would have been killed moments later in the destruction of the Halo ring. The normally stoic Master Chief was saddened by Foe Hammer's death, having befriended the pilot during the short time they'd known each other.[4]

Personality[edit]

Rawley was considered one of the best crewmen of the Pillar of Autumn. She never expressed fear in her voice, and she was considered to have been a very efficient pilot. Foe Hammer put soldiers down on landing zones filled with hostile forces without hesitation, took heavy fire, ignored the odds and the consequences, and did not panic. In addition, she was known to joke around and have a sense of humor.
