Battlestar is back! The members of the colonial fleet return in the special standalone two-hour film Battlestar Galactica: Razor, premiering on SPACE on November 24 at 9pm ET / 6pm PT. With clues to the fate of the whole Battlestar Galactica universe, Razor will make fans say “what the frak!” Cylon centurions from the classic series make an appearance, questions from the past are answered, the fate of one of the characters is prophesized, and a same sex relationship within the fleet is revealed.

Serving as a backdrop for the series’ upcoming fourth and final season, which debuts on SPACE in early 2008, Razor follows Lee Adama's (Jamie Bamber) first mission as the Commander of the Battlestar Pegasus and reveals the untold story of Major Kendra Shaw (Stephanie Chaves-Jacobsen), Adama’s new XO. Through flashbacks, the harrowing tale of Pegasus’s desperate fight for survival in the immediate aftermath of the Cylon's genocidal siege of the 12 Colonies is revealed through Shaw’s eyes.
Shaw is haunted by memories of her service and sacrifice under the command of Admiral Helena Cain (Michelle Forbes), the hardball former leader of the Pegasus. Cain was able to save Pegasus during the Cylon attack, but only by making Shaw and her fellow officers employ suicidal battle tactics and brutal war crimes against their own people. “This war is forcing us all to become razors because if we don’t, we don’t survive,” rationalizes Cain. “And then we don’t have the luxury of becoming simply human again.”
Executive produced and developed by Ronald D. Moore (Carnivale, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) and David Eick (Bionic Woman), Battlestar Galactica is a stunning re-imagination of the 1978 cult classic hit series that has redefined the space opera with its gritty realism. In addition to winning a prestigious Peabody Award, the series has been honoured as one of the 10 Outstanding Television Programs of the Year by the American Film Institute (AFI) for two years running. Shot in Vancouver, B.C., Razor also stars Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, James Callis, and Canadian actors Tricia Helfer, Grace Park and Michael Hogan.
