In the Berkley novelization, ''[[The Tombs of Kobol]]'', the asteroid is bluish in color. Its surface is described as a "rock-strewn craggy surface" with a substance on the rocks that appears viscous and oily. It is later determined that this substance is the "virus" that Boomer and Jolly contract during the patrol, bringing back to ''Galactica'' to spread amongst the pilots, despite going through the standard decontamination procedure.
