Carbide

From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide

Carbide is a likely Colonial term for carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide.

Boomer attributes Jolly's poor approach and subsequent landing to his breather unit possibly leaking carbide (Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I).

Notes

• In reality, carbide is a carbon-containing alloy; it is also a term used to describe a polyatomic ion C₂^2- or monatomic ion C⁴⁻, or any salt of such.
