Additional Information

Scar is the nickname for a Raider fighter ace, feared and revered by Galactica's pilots. The nickname is derived from battle damage on the Raider's forward cowling that resembles a scar.

Scar is responsible for many ruthless, successful attacks against mining vessels deployed from the Fleet into a treacherous asteroid field. It is known for its taste for 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 "Starbuck" Thrace and Lieutenant Louanne "Kat" Katraine.

Caprica-Valerii believes that the cause of Scar's unusual aggressiveness was pent-up rage after repeated painful deaths and 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. Kat scores a crippling blow on Scar, causing it to careen into an asteroid, destroying it in an explosion of shrapnel and gore.

It was unlikely that Scar was able to resurrect, due to the recent loss of the nearest Resurrection Ship (Scar).

Notes

• This storyline of destroying an enemy fighter ace may be derived from the Royal Air Force's hunt for the Red Baron during World War I.
• Scar may be a reincarnation of the Raider that Starbuck kills and guts in "Act of Contrition", as hinted by Caprica-Valerii.
