Lieutenant Scott Gorman[1] was a member of the United States Colonial Marine Corps, part of 2nd Battalion Bravo Team.[6] He was commanding officer of the combat unit deployed to LV-426 aboard the USS Sulaco in 2179, to investigate the sudden loss of contact with the colony of Hadley's Hope. He was subsequently involved in combating the Xenomorph infestation at the colony. Gorman did not command a great deal of respect from his Marines owing to his inexperience in the field, and was incapacitated throughout much of the incident at the colony, leaving Corporal Hicks to take command. Gorman was among the last to perish in the incident, committing suicide with Private Vasquez rather than be captured by the Xenomorphs for impregnation.
