Dipper (TOS)

Dipper gives Farnes a pep talk before Farnes is killed.

Biography

Dipper is the lackey of Serenity's administrator, Sire Bogan, who tends to be subservient and dull-minded. After Farnes, constable before Starbuck, dies in a show of vain force against the Borays, he points out that no one would be crazy enough to take the job.

They find their answer when Boomer and Starbuck arrive to trade an an energizer for agro seed. Bogan, after rejecting the offer, sends Dipper and Duggy to ensure Starbuck and Boomer return to Serenity; they liberate the energizer and secrete it in a storage facility.

He eventually finds that Starbuck has a winning streak in chancery games, and helps inspire Bogan to bet the constable's badge for Serenity in the card game (The Magnificent Warriors).
