According to [[David Eick]], he and [[Ronald D. Moore]] had been considering a spinoff prequel series since [[Season 2 (2005-06)|Season 2]] of ''Battlestar Galactica'' began. Around the same time, Remi Aubuchon independently pitched a series to the studio that had thematic similarities to the Cylon origin story Moore and Eick were developing.<ref name="ifmag">{{Cite web|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080214080432/http://www.ifmagazine.com/feature.asp?article=1487|archivedate=14 May 2008|author=Sean Elliot|date=4 May 2006|url=http://www.ifmagazine.com/feature.asp?article=1487|title=Exclusive Interview: DAVID EICK TALKS CAPRICA & BATTLESTAR GALACTICA SEASON 3 - PART 3}}</ref> The studio then suggested they meet, which led to a "great marriage" of their concepts and the creation of the series.<ref>[[Podcast:Caprica pilot|Podcast for ''Caprica'' pilot]], timestamp 00:03:31</ref> Eick noted that inviting a new voice into their creative process was a healthy step for the ''Battlestar'' team.<ref>[[Podcast:Caprica pilot|Podcast for ''Caprica'' pilot]], timestamp 00:04:02</ref>
According to an [http://www.ifmagazine.com/feature.asp?article=1487 interview] with IFmagazine, David Eick said that they had been contemplating a spinoff prequel series since [[Season 2 (2005-06)|Season 2]] began and were tossing around ideas. About the same time, ''24'' writer Remi Aubuchon pitched a series that had a lot of similarities to the Cylon storyline. Realizing that they could not devote their full time to both ''Battlestar Galactica'' and a spinoff, Moore and Eick decided to merge with Auchubon, seeing it as an opportunity: "We took some of what we had and some of what he had ".


According to a [http://mboard.scifi.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=1818631#Post1818631 post] on the official Scifi.com messageboard by Ron Moore's wife [[Terry Dresbach]], executive producer Remi Aubochon will be the showrunner for "Caprica," in charge of the writing staff. Ron Moore will oversee and approve the story arcs, casting, sets, and read the scripts, though Moore will probably rarely write an individual episode for ''Caprica''.

In May 2006, Remi Aubuchon said that he originally pitched a series which was an "allegorical story about slavery with robots," when approached by Moore and Eick.

However, "certain elements have been embedded into the first few episodes of season 3" of ''Battlestar Galactica'', which might refer to things which will be further fleshed-out in the prequel series.<ref name=":0" />
