| [[File:Fire in Space.jpg|thumb|[[Cylon (TOS)|Cylon]] [[Raider (TOS)|Raiders]] loaded with solenite inflict damage upon ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'' during [[Cylon Destructive Suicide Missions|kamikaze runs]], akin to the [[Battle of Cimtar|runs that decimated]] ''[[Atlantia (TOS)|Atlantia]]'' {{OS|Fire in Space}}.]]
| | A highly-dangerous, high-yield non-nuclear explosive used by the [[Cylons (TOS)]] and Colonials. |
| '''Solenite''' is a highly-dangerous, high-yield non-nuclear substance used by both the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]] and [[The Twelve Colonies of Man|Colonials]] for explosives. solenite is effectual even in hand-held ordnance, namely the [[solenite charge]].
| |
|
| |
|
| == Notable Use ==
| | The Colonials used the explosive to destroy the [[Ravishol Pulsar]]. ([[Gun on Ice Planet Zero]]) |
| The Colonials use the explosive to destroy the [[Ravashol pulsar]] in the form of an hand-held [[solenite charge]], effectual against the most resistant of materials, notably [[magna]] {{OS|The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part II}}. | |

[[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] and [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] later attach solenite charges to ''Galactica''{{'|s}} hull to inflict breaches at key points to vent the subsequent dangerous, uncontrolled blaze into space {{OS|Fire in Space}}. | | [[Cylon Raiders (TOS)|Cylon Raiders]] loaded with solonite attempted to kamikaze into <i>[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]</i>, causing major damage to the last [[battlestar]].

| * ''According to ''[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]'' (a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979):''
| | [[Category: Technology]] |
| | | [[Category: TOS]] |
| : 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.
