| | Nothing yet is known of the chemical composition of the stimulant known as '''Stims''', or if the term refers to one substance or a class of several. |
| '''Stims''', short for "stimulants," are a type of drug used to temporarily increase alertness and attentiveness. Nothing yet is known of their chemical composition, or if the term refers to one substance or a class of several. | |

| ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]'s'' pilots are forced to use them to stay alert following four continuous days on Condition One and Two [[Action Stations|alert status]] after their [[Battle of Ragnar Anchorage|initial escape from Ragnar]]. During this time, when [[Lee Adama]], [[Kara Thrace]], [[Sharon Valerii]] and [[Alex Quartararo]] are flying CAP, Quartararo describes his reaction to stims as having "[[Ant|ants]] crawling behind his [[frakking]] eyeballs." Earlier, Thrace objects to their use, believing that their use dulls her flying skills, and initially refuses to take hers until ordered by Lee Adama {{TRS|33}}. | | They were in high use in the first series episode, ''[[33]]'', as the [[Battlestar]] ''[[Galactica]]'' pilots were forced to use them in an attempt to stay alert after four continuous days on Condition One and Two [[Action Stations|Alert Status]]. |

| Overuse or overdosing on stims can cause irrational, violent, and psychotic behavior. [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilot [[Louanne Katraine]] severely damages [[Viper 591|her Viper]] and injures herself when her stim use severely impairs her cognition {{TRS|Final Cut}}. Later, when the use of stims is suggested during a [[Passage (star cluster)|particularly grueling mission]], Katraine argues strongly against their use, stating it would tax the starving pilots' system too greatly. Stim use for the mission is then left up to individual discretion {{TRS|The Passage}}.
| | [[Kara Thrace]] believed that Stims dulled her flying skills, and refused to take hers initially until ordered by her [[CAG]], [[Lee Adama]]. |
| | |
| Stims are a likely component of a Colonial [[medkit]].
