Introduction

Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome is a prequel to the 2003-2009 re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series.

A web-series that became a pilot for a possible series chronicling the early adventures of a young William Adama, but the series was not picked up.

It stars Luke Pasqualino, Ben Cotton, and Lili Bordán.

Michael Taylor wrote the teleplay from a story by Taylor, David Eick, Bradley Thompson and David Weddle, with Jonas Pate as director.

Outline (General)

Set in the tenth year of the First Cylon War, the story follows William Adama, a young pilot just graduated from the Academy, assigned to one of the battlestars in the Colonial fleet: the Galactica.

The series provides a very basic frame of reference to the events that ensued in the time between the prequel series Caprica, and the basis series Battlestar Galactica.

Outline Series 01, Episode 03

Thanks to Adama’s risky but excellent piloting, the Wild Weasel narrowly escapes the Cylon raider.

Despite Coker’s desire to head home, Doctor Kelly has them break radio silence to send a transmission; they receive an immediate response with yet another set of coordinates.

En route Doctor Kelly tells Adama that she was married to famed marine Ezra Barzel (from the Hebrew prophet Ezra and the Hebrew word for “Iron”), who inspired many young people to join the Academy.

They arrive at the coordinates to find a fleet of “ghost ships”, Colonial vessels assumed to have been destroyed in battle that are now camped out hiding in Cylon territory.
