Bolse is an artificial 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.
It serves as one of the two possible penultimate levels in Star Fox 64. It's the only stage in the game that lacks a boss, (the Star Wolf team will appear, if they weren't defeated on Fichina) though the satellite's core acts similar to a boss.
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 allowed it to shrug off capital ship weaponry.The sheer size of the station and the amount of magnetic energy generated by its force field give 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.
Trivia
- Sector Y is said to be the site of a failed Bolse satellite.
