On Carrow, the [[Forerunner]]s placed on of their [[Sharquoi]] hives, containing hundreds of thousands of the creatures. The hive was buried deep underground and could only be opened using the ''[[vertex]]'', a control device for the Sharquoi hidden at [[Installation 00]]. | |||

Carrow was originally much lusher and greener than it is now, but some sort of ecological disaster at an unspecified time caused rivers to dry up. Carrow was originally established as an [[outer colony]] of the [[Unified Earth Government]]. Its capital was [[Suraka]], a city which began small in an oasis but which grew larger. At some point during the war with the Covenant, Carrow emptied of colonists. In the wake of the [[Great Schism]], [[Rojka 'Kaasan]], a [[Sangheili]], assembled a fleet and fled to Carrow in order to establish a new home. The result was [[Rak]], a city built up along the banks of a hidden river in the desert. The [[Unified Earth Government]] permitted the settlement and also facilitated the reclamation of Suraka by new human colonists. Carrow was deemed to belong to a [[Joint-Occupation Zone]]. Not long after, a creaky old human ship bearing fiercely independent migrant refugees of the [[Human-Covenant War]] set its sights on Carrow, and specifically the region where Rak had been established, since it was known from old records there was a river giving life to the desert there. Upon discovering the territory was already occupied by the Sangheili, and without any hope of getting their ship in the air again, the migrants endeavored to carve out a harsh life one-hundred and forty miles from Rak and called their new settlement [[Sandholm]]. | Carrow was originally much lusher and greener than it is now, but some sort of ecological disaster at an unspecified time caused rivers to dry up.
