Scar is | '''Scar''' is the [[Colonial]]'s nickname for a [[Cylon]] [[Raider]] fighter ace. The nickname is derived from battle damage on the Raider's fuselage that resembles a scar. | ||
[[ | Scar is responsible for many ruthless, successful attacks against mining vessels deployed from [[The Fleet (RDM)|the 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]] and Lieutenant [[Louanne Katraine]]. | ||
Scar is later destroyed on the 29th day of mining operations. Starbuck engages him but breaks off a suicidal run against him in favor of luring him into the sights of her wingman, Kat. Kat scores a crippling blow on Scar, causing it to careen into an asteroid, killing it in an explosion of shrapnel and gore. | |||
It | It is postulated by [[Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy)|Sharon]] that the cause of Scar's unusual aggressiveness was pent-up rage after repeated [[Resurrection Ship|resurrections]], particularly after one very painful death. This may have been at the hands of Starbuck when she forcibly removed the brain from a downed Raider ([[You Can't Go Home Again]]). It is unlikely that Scar will be resurrected again, due to the loss of the Resurrection Ship ([[Scar]]). | ||
