Morpha

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

Morpha is a painkilling medication used by the Colonial military.

The drug is included in all medkits. A Morpha overdose is fatal; it is used to euthanize Socinus in order to spare him a slow, painful death (Valley of Darkness).

Notes

• Morpha is nearly identical to, and named after, real-world morphine.
