Ambrosa: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:39, 5 February 2008

For information on a similarly-named (but differently spelled) alcoholic beverage in the Re-imagined Series, see Ambrosia.

Starbuck and Cassie drink ambrosa aboard the *Rising Star* (The Long Patrol).

Ambrosa is an expensive alcoholic intoxicant.

The rarity of the beverage makes it valuable amongst the survivors of the Twelve Colonies; even during the war, 500-yahren-old ambrosa was not believed to exist.

Starbuck imagines being rich after finding many storage bins filled with ambrosa on Proteus, a penal colony that made ambrosa for the Colonial war effort. Were it not for the Cylon attack on Proteus, he would have become quite wealthy (The Long Patrol).

Notes[edit]

According to the non-canonical Encyclopedia Galactica, ambrosa is "best distilled and purified under low-gravity conditions", thus the reason why Proteus was chosen as a place to produce the beverage.^[1]
