Carbide
From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
Carbide is a likely Colonial term for carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide.
Boomer attributes Jolly's poor approach and subsequent landing to his breather unit possibly leaking carbide (Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I).
Notes
- In reality, carbide is a carbon-containing alloy; it is also a term used to describe a polyatomic ion C22- or monatomic ion C4−, or any salt of such.
