Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome will be another BSG spinoff series. BSG:B&C will focus on a young William "Husker" Adama, a Viper pilot in his 20's during the 10th year of the war against the Cylons. Adama, fresh out of the Colonial military academy, has been assigned to the newest Colonial Battlestar, the Galactica. While taking part in a secret mission it is Adama who might be crucial to give the humans an advantage in the war that they have been losing.
BSG:B&C will, of course then, take place in the timeline after the current spinoff series, Caprica, and before the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series. William Adama, as BSG fans know, will ultimately rise through the ranks of the military to become Adminral Adama who will once again lead humanity's fight against the Cylons in BSG. Roughly it is 20 years after Caprica and 40 years before BSG. As it deals with Cylon war the pilot will be more action oriented versus Caprica.
David Eick will be the producer at the helm of the 2-hour pilot that will rely upon green sets & CGI rather than traditional sets. The pilot is expected to air in either late 2011 or early 2012 with a possible series to follow.
The green set filming will be a style similar to SyFy's other green set show, Sanctuary. BSB:B&C will also share another trait with Sanctuary, in that following the origins of Sanctuary being a webisode series, BSG:B&C was also originally planned as an online webisode series. After early positive response to the Michael Taylor the decision was made to instead go straight to a network pilot.
