The '''Stallion''' is a silver pistol with four barrels and a compact design.

According to [[Galen Tyrol]], the Stallion is not a [[Colonial Fleet|military issue]] sidearm.

[[Meier]], a follower of [[Tom Zarek]], carries two Stallions with him during [[Laura Roslin]]'s and [[William Adama|Commander Adama's]] joint expedition to find the [[Tomb of Athena]] on the surface of [[Kobol]]. Against direction from Zarek, Meier proceeds with the abandoned plan of eliminating [[Lee Adama]], thus removing him from further political interference in Tom Zarek's political agenda with the President.

Meier hands one Stallion to [[Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy)|Sharon Valerii]] to use to kill Commander Adama, while he agrees to kill Lee Adama. But Valerii feints the attack: during the crucial moment of assassination, she betrays Meier and shoots him with his own gun, who had aimed his Stallion at the head of Lee Adama. After stating her intentions, she surrenders her weapon to Commander Adama ([[Home, Part II]]).

==Note==
*In real life, the "Stallion" is the COP 357 derringer[http://www.kitsune.addr.com/Firearms/Single-Shot-Pistols/COP_357.htm], designed as a police off-duty/backup weapon by the now defunct COP Inc. of Torrance, California. It is a four barrel, four shot derringer, firing the .357 magnum round.

*The name "Stallion" may be a production in-joke on the Marushin's model name, "COP 357," whose name is shared in part with the ubiquitous Colt .357 handgun.

*This weapon also appears in the motion pictures, ''[[Wikipedia:The Matrix Reloaded|The Matrix Reloaded]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Blade Runner|Blade Runner]]'' (where actor [[Edward James Olmos]] has a supporting role). These [[Wikipedia:Cyberpunk|cyberpunk]] movies, like ''Battlestar'', are tales of conflict between humanity and intelligent machines.

Colonial Marine Corps

2006-03-14T01:21:53Z

Twibbles: /* Notes */

The '''Colonial Marine Corps''' are the ground soldiers of the Twelve Colonies, a different branch of the military than the [[Colonial Fleet]]. [[Original battlestar (RDM)|Battlestar]] ''[[Galactica]]'' has about thirty of them left, although there are no snipers among them ([[Bastille Day]]).

A Marine's duties include guarding the [[CIC]] and [[brig]] ([[Mini-Series]]) and assisting the [[Master-at-Arms]] ([[Litmus]]). They have been used several times on [[Raptors]] for boarding parties ([[Bastille Day]], [[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]], [[Resistance]], [[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]). They are also responsible for repelling enemy boarding actions ([[Valley of Darkness]]).

Sergeant [[Hadrian]] is a Marine, but no officers (if there were any) appear to be stationed on ''Galactica''; when they are shown on missions, Fleet officers command the Marine units.

==Known Marines==
*Lieutenant [[Terry Burrell]]
*Sergeant [[Hadrian]]
*Sergeant [[Fischer]]
*Corporal [[Venner]]
*Private First Class [[Scott Kelso]]
*[[Hollis]]
*[[Wenzler]]
*[[Bonnington]]
*[[Twinam]]
*[[Collishaw]]

==Notes==

Their battle [[Uniform |uniforms]] appear to be based on those of the U.S. Army's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Force Delta Force] or the counter-terrorist branch of the British Army's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Air_Service Special Air Service Regiment]. Besides their black combat uniforms, the weapons and personal combat equipment of the Marines are similar to what police SWAT teams and anti-terrorist special forces units utilize. We are yet to see the Marines in camouflage combat uniforms and armed with standard infantry weapons.

To depict/outfit the Marines, the show's costume department appears to use the following real-world items:<br>

Sgt Fischer should be added to the list. He first appears in the season premiere of Season 2 and is the Sergeant of the Guard who orders two marines to haul Boomer away after shooting Adama.
In the credits of Final Cut he is refered to as 'Marine Sgt. Fischer'.

I'm going to go ahead and add the names of the black-suited soldiers from 'Scattered' and 'Valley of Darkness'. Ltcrashdown December 23, 2005

Added "Corporal" link to "Venner" name. Lordmutt - 10 February, 2006

Ahem why did someone add the Marines from Rising Star as dead? it's conjecture that they're dead as the episode hasn't aired yet..

Actually... [[User:Kkimball|Kkimball]] 23:33, 10 February 2006 (EST)
:It concluded its east-coast airdate half an hour ago. Lordmutt, please sign your comments using <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki>. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 23:34, 10 February 2006 (EST)

Apologies, thought it didn't air for another 2 days - [[user:lordmutt|Lordmutt]]

==Marine Weapons==
What about the [[Wikipedia:Beretta Cx4 Storm|Beretta CX4 Storm carbine]]? I think the Marine that stopped Roslin (then let her go) when she was escaping had one. It's interesting that they took the trouble to apparently fabricate those strange wooden-handled pistols, but used existing submachine guns. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 17:42, 20 January 2006 (EST)
:And I must say, and excellent recent edit, Spencerian. --[[User:Ricimer|Ricimer]] 18:45, 20 January 2006 (EST)
Thanks for changing the Five-seveN to a sidearm, I forgot. To answer your question, the CMC used them in Valley of Darkness. --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 17:23, 25 January 2006 (EST)

In Lay Down Your Burden Part two, the marines on Caprica were using a H&K G36c, the Protecta shotgun, that's the one with the drum mag that sharon valerri used in Home part one, and Anders was using a H&K UMP. Did i get it right?
