Unfortunately in Sci Fi any sort of "prequel" is asking for trouble. The idea of cashing in on a pre-existing fan base may seem tempting but you can never meet the expectations of the existing fans.
A good example of this is the series Caprica which, if it had been stand alone, had some really interesting concepts to explore. Unfortunately it was tied in as a prequel to BSG and was totally the wrong sort of series for BSG big action space opera fans, and hence crashed and burned in its first season.
