'''Scar''' is the nickname for a [[Raider]] fighter ace. The nickname is derived from battle damage on the  Raider's fuselage that resembles a scar. The nickname blends logically since Raiders have been discovered as a biomechanical creation of the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] which is bred for space battle.

Scar is responsible for many ruthless, successful attacks against [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]]. The need to eliminate Scar's threat increases a pilot rivalry between Captain [[Kara Thrace]] and Lieutenant [[Louanne Katraine]].

'''Scar''' is the nickname for a particularly vicious and cunning Cylon [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Raider]], feared and revered by ''Galactica''{{'|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]].
Scar was later destroyed on the 29th day of mining operations. Starbuck engaged him, but broke off a suicide run against him in favor of luring him into the sights of her wingman, Kat.  Scar was then destroyed by Kat. ([[Scar]]).
 
[[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}}.
