A Colonial military ceremony, typically taking place before the start of a major battle. A line of table salt is placed on the ground between two rows of soldiers. A passage of scripture is read, and the two rows converge, spreading the salt line with their feet.
Such a ceremony is conducted by Lt. Margaret "Racetrack" Edmondson on the hangar deck of the battlestar Galactica before the start of the mission to rescue the Colonials remaining under Cylon occupation on New Caprica. The extremely emotional ceremony ends with an embrace by Galactica and Pegasus crew members who know they might never see each other again. (Exodus, Part I)
