Di-ethene

From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide

Di-ethene is a storm condition occuring on Arcta.

Di-ethene storms are dangerous to humans, particularly upon reaching "death point"–where the air turns to liquid. A side effect of being in a di-ethene storm is that it leaves humans dehydrated (TOS: "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I").
