Barry Garner is the third commanding Colonial officer on battlestar Pegasus after the deaths of Admiral Helena Cain and Colonel Jack Fisk. Before his promotion, he was the ship's chief engineer (The Captain's Hand).

As a Commander, Garner does not inspire great confidence and treats his staff rather sternly, as if they are to be 100% consistent in their behavior. Kara "Starbuck" Thrace considers Garner paranoid and barely competent. Garner holds a similar contempt for Thrace, leading him to order her eventual transfer back to Galactica, despite her work with the missing Raptors 718 and 314.

Garner's lack of command insight jeopardizes Pegasus when he takes his battlestar (against Admiral Adama's orders) into the binary stellar cloud to recover the missing crews instead of deploying an armed squadron of Raptors.

Realizing his own deadly mistakes when (as Admiral Adama suspected) three Cylon basestars ambush Pegasus, Garner decides to hastily return to aid his old Engineering team to restore the damaged FTL drive (the ship's only means of escape or success), leaving Major Lee Adama, the acting XO, in command. Garner enters a compartment which is venting to space, sealing the hatch behind him and sealing the coolant leak damaged by the attack. Major Adama's actions severely damage one of the basestars, buying Garner time to fix the leak. Garner's repair allows Pegasus's "snipes" to return the FTL drives to operation and the battlestar to escape a hopeless battle. However, Garner asphyxiates in the compartment.

The events surrounding Garner's death are reviewed by Lee and William Adama. Major Adama understands that Garner's failure was in treating people as he would a machine.
