| [[UNSC rank structure#Officer ranks|Flight Officer Captain]] '''Carol Rawley''', better known by her [[call sign]] '''Foe Hammer''',{{Ref/Note|While spelled out as "Foehammer" in Anniversary's subtitles, her callsign is spelled out as two words in the original game.}} was a pilot in the [[UNSC]]'s [[23rd Naval Air Squadron]]. 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]].

| ===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]]''.

|
| |
|
| 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>
| | '''Flight Officer Captain Carol Rawley''' (known by her [[Call Sign]] '''Foe Hammer'''), was the pilot of [[Dropship_77-Troop_Carrier|Pelican]] transport [[Echo 419]] on the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} in [[2552]]. She did many missions involving hostile insertions and mounting rescues, and this made her stand out among the other pilots on the ''Autumn''. Her copilot was [[Lieutenant (UNSC)|Lieutenant]] [[Frye]].<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 38</ref> She is technically an unseen character, as players can only see her ship and hear her voice. She is a member of the [[23rd Naval Air Squadron]], and she also appears to be the leader of the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Pelican contingent.<ref> [[Halo: The Flood]] page 39</ref>Her Radio Operator was [[Crew Chief Cullen]]. |
|
| |
|
| 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>
| | ==Halo: Combat Evolved== |
| | Not long after the {{UNSCship|Pillar of Autumn}} made a blind jump to the [[Threshold]] system, [[Covenant]] forces descended once again upon the ship. Foe Hammer escaped in the ensuing battle, and descended to the surface of [[Installation 04]], where many [[United Nations Space Command]] forces had landed. While everyone else was escaping in lifeboats, she decided to lead the rest of the pilots and take their Pelicans down feeling that they'd be useful. There, she helped [[John-117]]a.k.a Master Chief, and [[Cortana (AI)|Cortana]] pick up scattered [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] and get them out of the battlefield and back to [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]]. She and Frye assisted the [[Master Chief]] and [[Cortana (AI)|Cortana]] many times through the [[Battle of Installation 04]], including inserting them to rescue [[Captain Keyes]] in a raid on the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' and sending reinforcements when needed, landing them and a squadron of Marines on a beach to take the [[Silent Cartographer]], ferrying them to the [[Control Room]], and taking them to the [[Flood Containment Facility]].<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', page 227: "As the lift climbed, Foe Hammer's worried voice crackled through his comm system."</ref> Unlike most UNSC forces on Halo, Foe Hammer managed to survive the Flood outbreak by remaining airborne. However, she was shot down and killed by two [[Covenant]] [[Banshee]]s when she attempted to pick up the Master Chief and escape [[Installation 04]] minutes before the ''Autumn'' exploded and destroyed [[Halo]].<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 338,339</ref> |

| == Personality ==
| | Foe Hammer was considered one of the best crewmen of the {{UNSCship|Pillar of Autumn}}, and possibly in the United Nations Space Command itself. Fear was never expressed in her voice, and she was considered to have had the efficiency to get the job done. Foe Hammer put soldiers down on landing zones filled with hostile forces without hesitation, took heavy fire, ignored the odds and the consequences, and didn't panic. |

| | *The [[call sign]] "Foe Hammer" comes from the fourteenth level of [[Marathon|Marathon Infinity]]. "Foe Hammer" is also a literal translation of the name of [[Wikipedia:Gandalf|Gandalf]]'s sword, Glamdring, as well as the name of the dragon-slaying arrow in Stephen King's book ''The Eyes of the Dragon''. |
| *Rawley was voiced by [[Tawnya Pettiford-Wates|Tanya Pettiford-Wates]]. | | *Foe Hammer's Pelican, Echo 419, is possibly another reference to the number '''[[7]].'''' 4 + 1 + 9 = 14 / 2 = 7. However, this is unlikely that this is deliberate, given that the math necessary to make it work contains more than one stage. |
| *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 the game, but is mentioned as a Captain in the book. However, it is possible that Cortana was addressing Lieutenant Frye. |
| *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''. | | *Foe Hammer is said to run flatfooted, according to the novel, The Flood. |
| *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''. | | *Foe Hammer was voiced by [[Tanya Pettiford-Wates]]. |
| | | *Her callsign is commonly written as "Foehammer" by fans. It should be noted that Halo: The Flood and the Halo: Combat Evolved credits refer to her as "Foe Hammer"<ref>[http://halocinema.bungie.org/halo/34_finalcredits_sm.wmv Halo: CE credits] 01:28</ref> |
