'''Barry Garner''' was a Colonial officer on [[Battlestar]] ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' prior to the deaths of Admiral [[Helena Cain]] and Colonel [[Jack Fisk]]. Before his promotion, he had been the ship's chief engineer. | |||
Barry Garner is the third officer to assume command of [[Battlestar]] ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' after the ship was integrated in Admiral [[William Adama]]'s [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. He assumed command after the suspect death of Commander [[Jack Fisk]] ([[The Captain's Hand]]). | |||
Garner's | Despite Garner's lack of command insight when jumping to recover Raptors [[Raptor 718|718]] and [[Raptor 314|314]], he died a rather heroic death by sealing the coolant leak causing a pressure drop in ''Pegasus's'' FTL Drive system, entering a compartment that was venting out to space and sealing the hatch behind him. The emergency repair allowed the ''Pegasus'' engineering crew to repair the ships [[FTL]] drive, thus escaping a [[Battle of the Binary Star System|hopeless battle]]. | ||
As | As a Commander, Garner did not inspire great confidence in his abilities. He was considered paranoid and barely competent by [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]], and the events surrounding his death showed that he was needed more below-deck where his abilities and leadership in Engineering were apparently sorely missed. It is unclear how his absence will affect the engineering crew's proficiency during future crises. | ||
