I'm glad your experience was similar to ours. I do think that the book gives you just enough background and material to run something in a prequel era.
Elsewhere, I think it was on the Cortex RPG site, there was a discussion of running a Serenity/Battlestar hybrid game, and I think the idea has potential. Not literally porting over the characters and ships from Firefly, but rather the themes of people living on the edge of civilization, trying to fly under the radar of the Colonial government or simply trying to make a buck (sorry, cubit) flying form moon to planet and back again.
I'd also love to explore what the Colonial Fleet battlestars are doing in the decades between the first Cylon War and the second. Are they just on endless patrols? Are they exploring neighboring systems? Are they dealing with pirate threats from the system's Kuiper Belt?
That said, I'd really love to circle back and play out the rest of the Cerberus campaign; I'm thinking it would run perhaps five more episodes, and would likely end with the players struggling to decide whether to side with a vicious dictator in order to save their lives ... and perhaps the entire human race.

I doubt it will happen, but I can dream. :)
