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|O}} | 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]]. | 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.

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]]. In [[Operation: BUZZHAWK]], the militia managed to destroy Hekabe's [[flagship]], {{Class|ORS|heavy cruiser}} ''[[Foebane]]'', but 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. | ||

Using the EMP weapon, Gass succeeded in removing the ''vertex'' and taking it for herself, using the Sharquoi to kill Hekabe and his Jiralhanae. To end the battle once and for all, Gass used the Sharquoi to crash Thars' hijacked ships that were attacking [[Rak]], saving the Sangheili city. As Gray Team, Melody and Rojka evacuated, Gass detonated the HAVOK, destroying the Sharquoi hive and all of the creatures within as well as herself, ending the threat though the nuclear blast damaged Suraka itself further. Before the detonation, Gass got the militia to send a Pelican to pick up the rest of the team by communicating with a militia squad through a retreating Sharquoi. | ||
In the aftermath of the battle, the militia ferried Rojka back to Rak after he recovered from his injuries while the [[UNSC frigate]] {{UNSCShip|Welcome to the Snipehunt}} confirmed that all of the Sharquoi appeared to have been killed in the blast. The UEG planned to continue diplomatic work with the Surakans while the new [[kaidon]] of Rak, [[Akato 'Dakaj]], recognized that the humans and Sangheili needed each other more than ever and intended to continue working towards a peaceful future with Rojka as his envoy.<ref>'''[[Halo: Envoy]]'''</ref> | In the aftermath of the battle, the militia ferried Rojka back to Rak after he recovered from his injuries while the [[UNSC frigate]] {{UNSCShip|Welcome to the Snipehunt}} confirmed that all of the Sharquoi appeared to have been killed in the blast.
