The Set Up for Caprica
Set on Caprica fifty eight years before the events of the Second Cylon War reimagined in the Battlestar Galactica saga, the Twelve Colonies are enjoying a long period of peace and prosperity, a Golden Age if you like. An act of religious fanaticism sets the fates of the Adamas and the Graystones onto a collision course. United in their grief for the loss of their daughters in same event, prominent civil liberties lawyer Joseph Adama (father of Admiral William Adama) and Daniel Graystone, a wealthy Caprica Industrialist, find themselves struggling with bereavment. Daniel becomes possessed by the idea of bringing the young girls back to life and dedicates his enormous weath and technological resources to achieving this seemingly impossible goal. But suprisingly his  experiments are suprisingly successful and his technological advances in robotics and AI lead to the inevitable creation of the Cylons. Meanwhile Joseph Adama  becomes a sworn opponent of Daniel Graystone and what he believes is an abomination.
