'''Scar''' is the nickname for a particularly vicious and cunning Cylon [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Raider]], feared and revered by ''Galactica''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[pilots]]. The nickname is derived from battle damage and grime on the Raider's forward cowling that resembles a scar.

Scar is responsible for many ruthless, successful attacks against mining vessels deployed from the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] into a treacherous asteroid field. It is known for its taste for [[Nugget|nuggets]] and favors separating them from their wingmates for an easy kill. The need to eliminate Scar's threat increases a pilot rivalry between Captain [[Kara Thrace|Kara "Starbuck" Thrace]] and Lieutenant [[Louanne Katraine|Louanne "Kat" Katraine]].

[[Sharon Agathon|Caprica-Valerii]] believes that the cause of Scar's unusual aggressiveness was pent-up rage after repeated painful deaths and [[Resurrection (RDM)|resurrections]]. 

On the 29th day of mining operations, Starbuck engages Scar but breaks off a suicidal run against it in favor of luring it into the sights of her wingmate, Kat, who scores a crippling blow on Scar.  Scar is sent careening into an asteroid, and is destroyed in an explosion of shrapnel and gore. 

It was unlikely that Scar was able to [[Resurrection (RDM)|resurrect]], due to the [[Resurrection Ship, Part II|recent loss]] of the nearest [[Resurrection Ship]] {{TRS|Scar}}.

== Notes ==

* This storyline of destroying an enemy fighter ace may be derived from the Royal Air Force's hunt for [[Wikipedia:Manfred von Richthofen|the Red Baron]] during [[Wikipedia:World War I|World War I]].
* Scar may be a reincarnation of the Raider that Starbuck kills and guts in "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]", as hinted by [[Sharon Agathon]].
