Bolger is a lieutenant in the group known as Miliconn - a branch of armed forces that is called upon in times of unrest in The Strata. He is disciplined, uncompromising, dutiful, and does not tolerate insubordination. Having been deployed in many skirmishes both off-world and in The Strata, Bolger is battle hardened. There is very little he hasn’t seen over his decades of service, and his record is impeccable despite the many hardships he has encountered. Now he finds himself stationed in the streets of Dockerton, a militarised zone where civil unrest is growing with every passing day. Miliconn is seen as an oppressive force and the citizens want them out. Resistance fighters have begun targeting Miliconn troops with deadly consequences, and their actions are becoming more and more radical as the conflict escalates. Bolger is faced with the prospect of not only regaining control of the streets, but also with trying to protect innocent lives that may be caught in the crossfire.

(Explaining his orders to a group of citizens) “I’m in command of a special unit targeting Resistance cells operating in this part of Dockerton. We have to go to them, root them out, or they’ll just stay here forever - dug in. And the longer they stay, the deeper the rot grows.”
(Trying to convince a citizen to supply inside information about the Resistance. The citizen has already declined to help, and now he turns to bribery in order to change their mind) “I want you to know that I’m not closing the door on this. If you decide to reconsider, I’m happy to talk anytime you want. And who knows? If you help us, maybe the idea of accessing one of those shiny bioclinics might become a reality for you and your family.”
(Using a loudspeaker to address the crowd; stern, steely) “Attention, citizens of Tinkford. Miliconn is enforcing a lockdown of the entire precinct, starting immediately. There are known fugitives in the area. The streets are not safe. Repeat, the streets are not safe. Stay in your homes. Our units will be entering each premises one by one to search for hostiles. Any attempts to interfere with this operation will be met with lethal force. You have been warned.”
