| == Tie-in Material Information ==
| |
| * ''According to ''[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]'' (a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979):''
| |
|
| |
| : Solenite is a high explosive refined from [[Solium]] fuel. It has many peaceful uses in the construction industry and also forms the warheads of impact torpedoes used by both human and [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylon]] forces. <ref>{{cite book|last=Kraus|first=Bruce|year=1979|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]|pages=52}}</ref>
| |
|
| |
| == Notes ==
| |
| * In canon, solenite's derivation from [[solium]] is unstated. The non-canonical supplement ''[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]'' confirms the connection between solenite and solium, noting that solenite is a refined explosive derivative of solium fuel.
