Kara "Starbuck" Thrace's awaits the result after breaking the test capsule's seal on the red moon (TRS: "You Can't Go Home Again").

The atmosphere test capsule is a tubular device used to rapidly determine the viability of a planetoid's atmosphere. Depending on the chemical reaction after exposure, a visibly colored strip within the tube will either indicate green for viable or red for the opposite.

In one such instance, upon parachuting upon a red moon following a skirmish, Kara "Starbuck" Thrace breaks the seal of a test capsule to find that the moon did not have a suitable atmosphere (TRS: "You Can't Go Home Again").

Thane uses a knockout capsule on Vickers (TOS: "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I").

A knockout capsule[1] is a small case that contains an inhalant capable of inducing temporary paralysis. Such a capsule has a very-limited effective range, requiring the user of the capsule to place it under the intended victim's nasal passages.

Thane uses one on Vickers during the scuffle with Haals and Wolfe on UIY 1138 (TOS: "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I").
