Corporal Colette Ferro[1] was a Cheyenne dropship pilot for the United States Colonial Marine Corps, part of 2nd Battalion Bravo Team.[5] She was a member of the combat unit deployed to LV-426 aboard the USS Sulaco in 2179, to investigate the sudden loss of contact with the colony of Hadley's Hope. She subsequently perished as a result of the Xenomorph infestation at the colony.
During the mission to Hadley's Hope, Ferro piloted the dropship Bug Stomper, assisted by copilot Private Spunkmeyer. She was killed when a Xenomorph attacked her in-flight as she sat at the controls. Her death resulted in the loss of the dropship itself and the destruction of the squad's APC, leaving the few surviving Marines stranded and with little usable equipment.
