is going back to the *Battlestar Galactica* well. After launching prequel *
Caprica*, which is now airing the second part of its first season while
awaiting word on a second-season pickup, the cable network has greenlighted
a two-hour pilot for *Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome *or* BGBC *how it
will probably be known in the* Battlestar* fan univers*e. *The pilot, about
the young years of Ensign William Adama, hails from *Battlestar Galactica  e
*xecutive producer* *David Eick and* *Universal Cable Prods. and will
involve CGI and virtual technology. Here is more from the network's
announcement:

*Battlestar Galactica:** Blood & Chrome* takes place in the 10th year of the
first Cylon war. As the battle between humans and their creation, a sentient
robotic race, rages across the 12 colonial worlds, a brash rookie viper
pilot enters the fray. Ensign William Adama, barely in his 20’s and a recent
Academy graduate, finds himself assigned to the newest battlestar in the
Colonial fleet… the Galactica. The talented but hot-headed risk-taker soon
finds himself leading a dangerous top secret mission that, if successful,
will turn the tide of the decade long war in favor of the desperate
fleet. “The ‘Galactica’ universe as re-imagined by Ron Moore and David Eick
is rich with possibilities and backstory,” said SyFy's Mark Stern. “We
jumped at the chance to revisit the William Adama character and explore this
exciting chapter in the BSG narrative which falls between the events of the
original series and the prequel, ‘Caprica,’ currently airing on Syfy.”

“While maintaining the themes of politics, social propaganda, and the
timeless question:  what does it mean to be human? – ‘Blood & Chrome’ will
also return us to the authentic, relentless depiction of combat and the
agony and ecstasy of human-Cylon war, which was the hallmark of ‘Battlestar
Galactica's’ early seasons,” said Eick. Michael Taylor wrote the teleplay
from a story by Eick, Taylor and Bradley Thompson & David Weddle.
