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 which is bred for space battle.
Scar is responsible for many ruthless, successful attacks against the Fleet. It was known for its taste for nuggets, and favores seperating 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 suicide run against him in favor of luring him into the sights of her wingman, Kat. Kat scores a crippling blow on Scar, causing Scar to careen into an asteroid, killing it in an explosion of shrapnel and gore.
It is postulated by Sharon that the cause of Scar's unusual aggressiveness was caused by pent-up rage after repeated resurrections. It is unlikely that Scar will be resurrected again, due to the loss of the Resurrection Ship. (Scar).
Notes
This storyline of destroying an enemy fighter ace may be derived from the Royal Air Force's hunt for Manfred von Richthofen (a.k.a. the "Red Baron") during WWI.
