“Jammer” is a supporting character in Killzone 3. She is an ISA corporal and one of the survivors marooned on Helghan following the failure of Operation Archangel. She and her platoon were rescued by Rico Velasquez and together formed 'Rico's Raiders'.
Biography[]
Jammer participated in Operation Archangel, in which she and her platoon attempted to flee during the ISA's chaotic evacuation from Helghan. She was cut off from her platoon in which she and her men desperately radioed for assistance; her request was answered by Captain Jason Narville who sent Intruders to extract her and her men. Unfortunately the Intruders were then shot down and Narville could not spare anyone else to help her. But Rico Velasquez disobeyed Narville and went to their aid instead. The evacuation became for naught as the remaining ISA ships were down by MAWLRs or fled, effectively stranding the remaining invasion forces on Helghan. Jammer, Rico and the other ISA soldiers were separated from Narville's group.
During the six months marooned on Helghan, Rico had gathered whatever troops and hardware he could and formed the Raiders, with Jammer as his second-in-command. They later investigate Jorhan Stahl's activities conducted at one of his facilities. Their investigation led them to discover that Narville and Tomas Sevchenko have been captured by Stahl's men. The Raiders launched a daring assault and rescued Sev but lost Narville's dropship. This then unfolds into a prolonged assault on numerous defense platforms, allowing to clear apath.
Jammer and the rest of the Raiders were then ordered by Rico to return to base and to look for Narville's men, while he and Sev infiltrate Stahl's base on their own. After Narville was saved, Jammer and the Raiders arrived at Stahl's base, clearly disobeying Rico's orders but Rico himself didn't mind it at all as they needed to be evacuated anyway. Jammer was then ordered to take Narville and the other freed POWs back to base to prepare and set out to chase after Stahl, who was planning to launch a surprise attack on Earth.
Jammer, alongside Narville and the rest of the ISA remnants, travelled to the space elevator, leading to the space station where Stahl and Admiral Orlock's forces were meeting. Upon arriving, they became trapped in an irradiated petrusite grid. Jammer then helped Sev and Rico's plan to hijack a mobile factory and use it to disable the grid; in which she commandeered an ISA Jeep to hastily rescue Sev and Rico from a grizzly death from the mobile factory's shredding apparatus before driving behind one of the factory's treads, so they can climb on it. After Sev and Rico disabled the grid, Jammer pilots an Intruder in another hasty bid to rescue them as the factory begins to implode.
Shortly after the rescue, Rico enters a heated exchange with Narville over the radio. After the Intruder lands Jammer asks a seething Rico what he's thinking in an attempt to comfort him, to which he responds that he thinks "Narville's a fucking idiot" and then orders Jammer to go on another Intruder in case something bad happens.
During the ISA engagement with Stahl's army and a MAWLR, Jammer's Intruder was shot down, but she survives the crash with only minor injury. She later joined with Narville on another Intruder to rescue Sev from Capture Troopers and is saved by Rico when a Capture Trooper boards their Intruder. After rescuing Sev, the remaining ISA finally destroyed the MAWLR.
Thereafter, they board the space elevator. Jammer access the space station's communications center and attempt to warn Earth. At some deliberation, Rico contacts Jammer to rescind warning Earth and instead to access strike fighters. At this time, Jammer was engaged in a fist fight with a Helghast soldier in order to obtain the key card, and is saved by Hooper when being caught in a choke hold.
After getting access, Jammer and Hooper rejoined the others at the docked strike fighters; in which Jammer becomes the pilot and Hooper as a co-pilot. Alongside the strike fighter piloted by Sev and Rico, they fought through the space battle between Stahl and Orlock's fleets, chasing Stahl all the way to the Khage. They assaulted the Stahl's ship, preventing its launch towards Earth by disabling its warp drive engine. Ultimately, Sev and Rico's strike fighter launched a nuke at the Khage and indirectly unleashing its payload of irradiated petrusite to ignite and devastate the entire surface of Helghan. Jammer was left in shock of the devastation in which she points out she could not up any radio traffic on the planet, stating "the entire planet is silent."
Afterwards, Jammer presumably returned to Vekta with the other survivors, and went into hiding to avoid the surviving Helghast. However, she would not be branded with the same notoriety as Sev and Rico.
Characteristics[]
Jammer is a young woman of Hispanic heritage and is always seen with a hood over her head and eye black. She is relatively laid-back, witty, easy-going, and is hardly ever seen stressed. She respects Rico's leadership, but like Rico, she would wave off "bullshit orders" from time to time, something she states that Rico himself taught. She has been credited and self-regarded as crazy, one such occasion being when she was forced to drive through the dangerous apparatus of a garbage shredder in a hasty rescue to save Sev and Rico from being killed by it.
She appears to possess some technical skill, including knowledge of the Helghast alphabet and their mechanical and computer systems, also like Luger, Jammer shows impressive skills in both hand to hand and ranged combat, though she can be overwhelmed, like at the end of Killzone 3 on the Space Station, she requires the help from Hooper to subdue the Helghast guarding the keycard. She's an excellent fighter pilot, using both an ISA Intruder and a Helghast Strike Ship extremely well. However, she can get a bit reckless, like as when she tries to land her Intruder to pick up Sev and Rico, but constantly dodges RPG fire in the process.

Trivia[]
- She is the fifth woman to appear in the series (after General Vaughton's communication officer, Luger, Evelyn Batton, and Hera Visari), and the third woman to actively take part in battles. She is the first woman in the series to be a grunt soldier rather than a higher ranking individual.
- Considering that she serves in the military, realistically she wouldn't be allowed to have hair as long as she has and/or have it let down. Due to it obstructing head equipment like helmets and gas masks.
- It's possible (though uncertain) that Jammer and Rico have some feelings for each other. In the six months they were forced to work together to survive, they seemed to have grown a relationship similar to Rico and Sev's. Jammer is the only person besides Sev whom Rico trusts enough to be his second-in-command.
- In the novel Killzone: Ascendancy, Sev admired friendly Jammer's and at the end of the novel he said he's going to buy her a drink and maybe a burger even though Sev loves having fun with Rico.
- In Killzone: Shadow Fall, in multiplayer, there is an accolade of Jammer, entitling her as "The Corporal".
