- "Berganza! Get up here! Damn--He's panicking! Somebody grab him!"
- ―Nyland (from Aliens: Colonial Marines)
Private Berganza was a member of the United States Colonial Marine Corps. He was part of the undisciplined and insubordinate crew of the USS Melville, reputed as the "worst", to convoy toxic waste to Alphatech's Waste Disposal Facility "SunGun". Upon investigating the facility, he was likely killed in the Zero-G well of the station.
Biography[]
Berganza was part of the highly undisciplined crew of the USS Melville, whom Lieutenant Joseph Henry was recently assigned to. Their mission was to convoy toxic waste to Alphatech's Waste Disposal Facility SunGun and to transport personnel from Alphatech to a deep space communication array for a year.
Mission in SunGun[]
When arriving in the SunGun vicinity, Henry tried to contact the facility but received no response. Fearing a problem, Henry had Sergeant Nyland wake the marines up from hypersleep. However as his men were disinclined and refused to gear up, Henry was forced to physically discipline them. Once back in line, they boarded the SunGun and explored the interior, eventually discovering that they were dealing with a Xenomorph infestation. He was assigned with the others to secure the floor while Henry swept the operation center.

- "C'mon, give me your hand Berganza !"
- ―Beech to Berganza (from Aliens: Colonial Marines)
Suddenly a horde of Xenomorphs assaulted the Marines, and were forced to take refuge into the station's Zero-G well. Berganza panicked and froze, unable to move, and was grabbed by a Xenomorph. His fate is unknown; he was likely either killed shortly after, or taken to the hive within the facility and impregnated with a Chestburster.
Equipment[]
Beyond his military fatigues, during the exploration of the SunGun facility, he donned a comm headset and an EVA suit. He was equipped with an unidentified assault rifle equipped with an over-and-under grenade launcher.
Personality and Traits[]
Nothing is really known about Berganza except that like his teammates, he was undisciplined and had problems with authority figures. His poor training led to him ultimately freezing on the field, causing him to be grabbed by a Xenomorph.
