Bolse is the artifical defense satellite in orbit of the world of Venom. It was created by Andross to protect his capital world and as a staging platform for his armies in their invasion of the Lylat System during the Lylat Wars.
Overview
Created for the defense of Venom, Bolse is a massive artificial satellite in orbit of Andross' capital planet. It is protected by a force field that makes it immune to remote scanning and allows it to shrug off captial ship weaponry. The sheer size of the station and the amount of magnetic energy generated by its force field gives Bolse a strong gravitational field. Besides its laser cannons, Bolse also houses missiles and Bolse Fighters, along with armies to be used for the invasion of Corneria.
The power needed for the operation of Bolse is generated by a bionuclear core. The fusion of biomutated energy and nuclear power gives the station the immense power needed to battle entire fleets of enemy ships. However, this reaction is also incredibly unstable, turning the defense satellite into a ticking time bomb. Six reactor pylons are needed to cool and stabilize the generator, otherwise the core will undergo bionuclear meltdown.
History
Bolse came under attack by the Star Fox Team as they headed the invasion of Venom. Fox McCloud and his team, aware of Bolse' weakness from stolen design documents, were able to destroy the six generator pylons and expose the core to attack. Not even the arrival of the Star Wolf team was able to prevent Star Fox from destroying the station and opening the way for Venom's invasion.
