The long-awaited BATTLESTAR GALACTICA video game has been completed. The master disc has now been shipped to the manufacturer for duplication, a stage known in the video game industry as "gone gold". The game will be available for purchase by PlayStation 2 and Xbox gamers starting November 18.

Designed as a prequel to the classic TV series, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA takes place 40 yahrens before the Cylon attack that destroyed the twelve colonies of man and sent the last battlestar and her rag-tag fleet off in search of the mythical planet of Earth. You are newly minted Viper pilot Engign William Adama, stationed onboard the battlestar Galactica for your first deep space assignment. As you advance in rank and prestige, you will develop friendships with other Viper pilots as you tangle with deadly Cylons, pirates and other hostile alien forces. Original GALACTICA stars Richard Hatch (Apollo) and Dirk Benedict (Starbuck) as well as TERMINATOR 3's Kristanna Loken and STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION's Dwight Shultz have been recruited to provide voice talent for the game.

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA has been rated Teen by the ESRB.
