About

The first Cylon war has been raging for 10 years and a young Ensign William Adama joins the fleet. Disappointed not to be assigned to a fighter but to a freighter, his co-pilot also isn't too keen on having a rookie flying his aircraft as he has only a short time before he again becomes a civilian. Their cargo is a civilian scientist, but they no sooner leave than she has new orders for them and a new destination. Although she’s less than forthcoming about the details, Adama is keen—particularly as it involves going into Cylon controlled space. However, nothing is as it seems.

The scorched cockpit of a Viper fighter offers a claustrophobic window into the brutal opening salvos of the Cylon war. This prequel finds a young, unpolished Adama fighting for respect amidst the metal and chaos of a fleet under siege.
