Parents:
- FiFi Tabasco (Not in Capsi yet)
- Tiger Thunder (Not in Capsi yet)

Towns-End lists Intergalactic as its own F4 FiFi Tabasco × Tiger Thunder hand cross, still segregating. Rebec Valley Farm names the same pairing for the red sister line, and both parents are sold as standalone named cultivars.
