- ""I want this area secured." From what, Fish?"
- ―Carrano (from Aliens: Colonial Marines)
Private Carrano was a member of the United States Colonial Marine Corps. He was part of the undisciplined and insubordinate crew of the USS Melville, reputed as the "worst", to convoy toxic waste to Alphatech's Waste Disposal Facility "SunGun".
He perished on Bracken's World kelp farms, dragged underwater by an Aquatic Xenomorph
Biography[]
Carrano was part of the highly undisciplined crew of the USS Melville, whom Lieutenant Joseph Henry was recently assigned to. Their mission was to convoy toxic waste to Alphatech's Waste Disposal Facility SunGun and to transport personnel from Alphatech to a deep space communication array for a year.
Mission in SunGun[]
- "Wake up, Carrano. Readings ?"
- ―Nyland to Cerrano
When arriving in the SunGun vicinity, Henry tried to contact the facility but received no response. Fearing a problem, Henry had Sergeant Nyland wake the Marines up from hypersleep. However, as his men were disinclined and refused to gear up, Henry was forced to physically discipline them. Once back in line, they boarded the SunGun and explored the interior, eventually discovering that they were dealing with a Xenomorph infestation. He was assigned with the others to secure the floor while Henry swept the operation center. After a Xenomorph assault, he managed with the rest of the group to isolate themselves in the Zero-G well, waiting with the survivors until Henry, alongside Chen, Rake and survivor Dinkel purge the Tox-bay hatch expelling all Xenos in space. The group subsequently make a safe retreat to the Melville. In the aftermath, the Marines all congratulated their own survival, though Nyland was outraged by their naivety and lectured them before leaving.
Bracken's World & Death[]
- "That's your plan ? Sit here waiting to get picked off like Carrano ?"
- ―Forsythe to Henry after Carrano's death. (from Aliens: Colonial Marines (comic series))
While investigating a rogue signal on Bracken's World, Carrano and the group were ambushed by Bug-Men in an Alphatech listening post. He embarked on the APC that was forced to cross the kelp farms after the dropship was destroyed where they finished stranded. Carrano was surprised by a gigantic aquatic Xenomorph emerging from the kelp, which grabbed him and dragged him underwater.
Equipment[]
Beyond his military fatigues, during the exploration of the SunGun facility, he donned a comm headset and an EVA suit. On Bracken's World he wore a variant of the standard issue M3 Pattern Personal Armor and an M10 Pattern Ballistic Helmet for protection. He is equipped with an unidentified assault rifle equipped with an over-and-under grenade launcher and a variant of the standard issue M314 Motion Tracker.
Personality and Traits[]
Nothing is really known about Carrano except that like his teammates, he was undisciplined and had problems with authority figures.
Trivia[]
- In the 3rd issue his name is misspelled as "Cerrano". It has since been corrected in the Dark Horse digital version of the comic.
