Terry Burrell

Terry Burrell is an officer in the Colonial Marine Corps.

He is aboard Cloud 9 on leave when Sesha Abinell and her terrorist cell take hostages. Burrell is part of a failed rescue attempt. He is shot in the leg, while two other Marines and a terrorist are killed (Sacrifice).

Notes

There is some confusion over Burrell's rank. Starbuck refers to him as 'Gunny', suggesting he is a Gunnery Sergeant, but the closing credits of "Sacrifice" list him as 'Lt. Terry Burrell'. Based on the episode credits, this article lists the character as a lieutenant. Thrace's reference to Burrell as 'Gunny' is likely a past nickname when the character was a gunnery sergeant.

Burrell becomes the first Marine officer that viewers encounter in the series. The highest ranking Marine shown prior to "Sacrifice" was the character of Sergeant Hadrian.
