Sci Fi is enlisting some familiar faces from "Battlestar Galactica" and its other shows to make guest appearances on the summer series "Warehouse 13."

Among the names are "BSG's" Tricia Helfer, Michael Hogan and Mark Sheppard in addition to "Stargate Atlantis'" Joe Flanigan and "Eureka's" Joe Morton, Erica Cerra and Niall Matter. Other guest stars include James Naughton, Ivan Sergei and Roger Rees.

"Warehouse 13," premiering with a two-hour pilot on Tuesday, July 7 beginning at 9 p.m., follows the adventures of two Secret Service agents Pete (Eddie McClintock) and Myka (Joanne Kelly) as they control and retrieve objects with supernatural properties that are housed in the remote South Dakota Warehouse 13, headed by caretaker Artie (Saul Rubinek).

A rundown of the guest stars and what they'll be up to:

Tricia Helfer - As FBI Agent Bonnie Belski, she'll clash with Pete and Myka initially, but reluctantly turn to them after a third inexplicable bank takeover.

Michael Hogan - As Warren, Myka's dad, he'll suddenly find his life in danger when he receives a mysterious object anonymously in the mail

Mark Sheppard - Mr. Valda represents the Regents, the mysterious organization that controls the warehouse, and butts heads with Artie

Joe Flanigan - Jeff Weaver catches Myka's eye, but will the charmer be able to answer questions when a sculpture he bid on vanishes mysteriously?

Joe Morton - He'll play John Hill, an extremist religious leader and Florida prison inmate

Erica Cerra, Niall Matter - Jillian and Gary Whitman are small-time crooks who find their Las Vegas luck taking a fantastic turn thanks to a strange artifact.

Ivan Sergei  - Ross the EMT and the other townsfolk from Unionville, New York involuntarily start to display bizarre symptoms of their subconscious desires. We betcha an object is at the heart of it.

James Naughton - Wealthy entrepreneur Gilbert Radburn draws Pete and Myka's suspicions when he reacts to one of his acquisitions being threatened by a competitor

Roger Rees - MacPherson and Artie used to be colleagues, but then he went rogue by trying to get the artifacts for his own use.
