			== Tie-in Material Information ==
			* ''According to [[Encyclopedia Galactica]]'' (a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979):
			: Solium is the liquid fuel that powers deep-space vehicles. <ref>{{cite book\|last=Kraus\|first=Bruce\|year=1979\|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]\|pages=52}}</ref> The [[Academy]]'s greatly expanded Department of Engineering and Applied Science produced advances including the liquid solium propulsion systems during the [[Great Cylon War]]. <ref>{{cite book\|last=Kraus\|first=Bruce\|year=1979\|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]\|pages=9-10}}</ref> Freighters are sub-light vehicles powered by a single solium energizer, with low thrust applied for [[quatron]]s in the vacuum of space eventually accelerating them to a cruising speed of .998 of the speed of light. <ref>{{cite book\|last=Kraus\|first=Bruce\|year=1979\|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]\|pages=36}}</ref>
			: The [[Aerian\|Aerians]] developed the first [[Agro Ship]]s to nourish interstellar space crews on long journeys between the stars before the invention of faster-than-light drive. The solium afterburner provided light in the dark reaches between the stars, and genetic engineering produced new plants that could use the solium light spectrum efficiently. This technology allowed space agriculture to flourish in the weightless environment of orbital farming stations. <ref>{{cite book\|last=Kraus\|first=Bruce\|year=1979\|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]\|pages=13}}</ref>
			: In [[6572]], the ''{{TOS\|Pegasus}}'' and ''{{TOS\|Galactica}}'' discovered one another and joined in [[Battle of Gamoray\|a vital and successful raid]] on the solium reserves of the [[Cylon]] outpost [[Gamoray]]. As the Battlestar ''Galactica'' and [[The Fleet (TOS)\|its fleet]] collected fuel, [[Cain (TOS)\|Cain]] executed a daring head-on confrontation with three [[Basestar (TOS)\|Baseships]]. <ref>{{cite book\|last=Kraus\|first=Bruce\|year=1979\|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]\|pages=25}}</ref>

	* Solium is apparently a secondary fuel, perhaps used for smaller ships or equipment other than or in lieu of [[tylium (TOS)\|tylium]].		* Solium is apparently a secondary fuel, perhaps used for smaller ships or equipment other than or in lieu of [[tylium (TOS)\|tylium]].
			* The non-canonical ''[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]'' suggests solium has multiple applications beyond just propulsion, including providing artificial light for agricultural purposes in space.
