History
Finally, hostilties openly broke out with the Peacekeepers when Scorpius launched a surprise attack against a Scarran fleet. This turned out disastrously for the Peacekeepers as even though the initial attack was successful; the Scarran reprisals were heavy with star system after star system lost to the Scarran Imperium. Emperor Staleek took his flagship and troops to attain the wormhole information from John Crichton.
The war ended when Crichton detonated a wormhole weapon from the information in his mind which threatened to destroy all of existence. In exchange for stopping the weapon, the Scarrans agreed to form a tense peace treaty with the Peacekeepers thus ending the war.
Overview
Biology
The Scarrans were a powerful and intelligent species who were quite ambitious as well as had the steadfast belief in their own superiority.
One aspect of their biology was their strikingly high body temperature. This allowed them to employ this heat as a tol which gave them heat projection abilities that can be used to extract the truth from their victims. They were capable of even using this to kill their enemies and was projected from their hands.
In addition to this, they possess great strength which combined with their thick hides made them difficult to subdue. This greatly diminished if the heat producing gland was removed which severely weakened them.
A member of the species was capable of breeding with other races most notably Sebacean's with limited success creating hybrid offspring. (Episode: Incubator)

Scarrans have displayed a keen interest in reproductive genetics with varying degrees of success. Male members of the species were not above raping females of others in order to produce hybrid children in order to test their strengths. The only known case of this was done so against the Sebaceans as part of a cruel experiment in order to determine if that species genetics could serve the Scarran cause.

Technology
The Scarran race were a highly technologically advanced species which made use of massive Scarran Dreadnought's which were similar to the Scarrans themselves in that they were extremely difficult to destroy.
A noted piece of technology of the Scarrans was the capacity of employing complex methods of interrogation that created delusions in a subject's mind which slowly collapsed the person's mental resistance to information exctraction.
