Colonial Marine Characters: USCM Profiles And Fates
Colonial Marine characters are named United States Colonial Marine Corps soldiers with standalone profiles, starting with the USS Sulaco unit from Aliens and expanding through comics and novels. Each entry follows one Marine's origin, drop, and fate rather than Corps weapons, ships, or ranks, which stay with Colonial Marine lore. Assigned synthetics such as Bishop, and civilians such as Ellen Ripley, stay off this list. Other people from the Alien franchise sit under Alien Universe characters.
