Caprica is a television series to be produced by Ronald D. Moore and David Eick for the Sci Fi Channel. It is a prequel to re-imagined series dealing with the Adama and Graystone families on the planet Caprica and the invention of Cylons.
Summary
The Sci Fi Channel will delve into the backstory of Battlestar Galactica with a new series that looks at the years leading up to humanity's devastation by the Cylons.
The prequel, called Caprica, heads a list of development projects the cable network unveiled Wednesday (April 26, 2006).
Caprica will be set more than 50 years prior to the events of "Battlestar Galactica" and focus on the lives of two families: the Adamas (ancestors of future Galactica commander William) and the Graystones. The Twelve Colonies are at peace and on the verge of a technological breakthrough: the first Cylon.
As Battlestar Galactica is about a lot more than space battles, Caprica will be as much family drama as sci-fi tale. Remi Aubuchon (The Lyon's Den, 24) is writing the pilot script; "Galactica" veterans Ronald D. Moore and David Eick will executive produce it.Template:Ref
