In anticipation of the premiere of SCI FI's stunning two-hour event,

with an eight-week series of exclusive 2-3 minute mini-sodes.

extended episode that will provide a backdrop to events that will
take place in the rest of season four of Galactica. Written by
Michael Taylor, and directed by Wayne Rose and Felix Alcala, these
shorts will provide a sneak peek into the original Cylon War, when a
young pilot named William Adama (Nico Cortez) discovers a dangerous
Cylon weapon that will come back to haunt him and his crew 40 years

included in the unrated Universal Home Video release of Razor. They
will also be available on SCIFI.COM after their on-air debuts.
Battlestar Galactica: Razor will tell the story of Lee Adama's (Jamie
Bamber) first mission as commander of the Battlestar Pegasus and will
reveal the story of how Admiral Cain (Michelle Forbes) served her
ship during the original Cylon attack on the Colonies.
