Meatlump King The Meatlump King was the Human ruler of the Meatlumps , a gang labeled by the Corellian Security Force authorities as " fanatical " and " somewhat stupid " progress haters . The man who would later become the King of the Meatlumps started his career as a scientist building weapons for the Galactic Empire . However , he soon began to despise building these deadly implements , and adopted the view that most electronics and advanced technology were the source of evil in the galaxy . The king - to - be deserted the Empire and rescued three young men from their abusive cyborg father Lucien Bender , and took them as his own . After Imperial assassins attempted to kill him , the three brothers , Draykken , Hraykken , and Louis Bender formed the Meatlump Gang in earnest , naming it after their favorite namesake food . Since that time , the Meatlump King assumed his titular role , and held court in the abandoned maintenance tunnels beneath Corellia ' s capital city of Coronet . From their hideout , the King served as the figurehead of the terrorist organization , while his three " sons " handled its day to day operations . By the time following the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY , the gang numbered in the thousands , and began founding chapters on various other worlds throughout the galaxy ; both to promote its message , and to destroy the technology they so desperately despised . Biography . The Bender Brothers . The Human who would later become known as the King of the Meatlumps began his career as a scientist for the Galactic Empire , the authoritarian government led by Emperor Palpatine . During his service as a scientist , the king - to - be helped the Empire build destructive weapons . However , he soon grew to regret building these deadly implements , and eventually adopted the philosophy that most electronics and advanced technology were the source of evil in the galaxy . Distraught by the work he was doing , the once loyal Imperial scientist deserted the Empire and set his eyes on three young men , the sons of an abusive cyborg known as Lucien Bender . Lucien had used his sons as test subjects for a number of experiments , prompting the three of them to run away . The man who would become the Meatlump King took the three brothers , Draykken , Hraykken , and Louis Bender as his own . Lucien was deeply upset that his sons had abandoned him to be with the ex - Imperial scientist and held a grudge ever since . Birth of the Meatlumps . Since abandoning his post and taking the three Bender brothers as his own sons , the ex - scientist found himself in the crosshairs of the Galactic Empire . Imperial assassins attempted to kill the technology - hating Human , but ultimately failed to do so . After the attempt on his life , the Bender brothers decided to form their gang in earnest — the Meatlumps . With the gang ' s founding , the " father " to the three Bender brothers assumed his titular role of Meatlump King . He felt this was just , for he believed himself to be the " tallest " and the " most glorious " one suited for the role . However , it was in fact Draykken Bender who decided to name their gang after their delicious , yet unappetizing namesake . The snack was a favorite of not only the three brothers , but the Meatlump King himself . At one point , the Meatlump King dropped a meatlump into a river . When he tried to grab it , he fell in . He feared he would drown , but the river carried him to shore . Ever since his near death encounter , the King resolved to always eat his snacks away from water . From their base of operations on the Core World of Corellia , the Meatlump King also resolved to never again be a puppet for either the Empire or the Alliance to Restore the Republic , but to be the master of his own destiny . Meatlump Menace . By the time following the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY , the number of Meatlumps had swelled to the thousands . To accommodate their growing numbers , the gang established their headquarters in the abandoned maintenance tunnels and sewers beneath Corellia ' s capital city of Coronet . They also conducted operations out of a cave near the city of Tyrena , and in numerous camps surrounding Coronet City . Although the Bender brothers were widely regarded as " dullards " in their own right , they were actually the ones responsible for handling the day to day operations of their up and coming terrorist organization . Meanwhile , their enigmatic King remained more as a figurehead , taking little interest in guiding the destructive tendencies of his followers . From their hideout beneath the streets of Coronet City , the Meatlump King held court with his many followers , surrounding himself with cardboard stand - ups and paintings of himself . His court was a non - stop , though reportedly half - hearted , attempt at self glorification . Chefs Schlump and Schlap would regularly make him Meatlump wine , and the Meatlump surgeon Newin Seedel would knit dolls of the King , of which Seedel speculated he already had thousands . Nevertheless , the Meatlumps as a whole carried on the King ' s vision of a galaxy without technology . Recruiter Joe disseminated countless books titled the " Meatlump Manifesto " in order to attract new recruits . The gang also terrorized citizens by planting improvised bombs near machinery . In the absence of explosives , gang members used their own hands to damage or destroy large amounts of private and public property , including speeders , droids , power generators , technical consoles , and communications systems . The Meatlumps had even once attacked a man known as Captain Osto Grissom because he transported electronics into and out of the Corellian system . This wanton destruction attracted the attention of the Corellian Security Force authorities , who regarded the Meatlumps as " fanatical " and " somewhat stupid " progress haters . And Lucien , still angered by the loss of his biological sons , had by now formed the Bofa Treat Gang to oppose the growing Meatlumps . The Elusive King . As the Meatlumps expanded their operations to include chapters on other worlds , including Dathomir , Endor , Lok , Naboo , Rori , Talus , and Tatooine , the King remained nestled within his court chamber of the Meatlump Hideout . By now , the gang had even adopted their own currency known as the Meatlump Lump . The Meatlump Lump , or Lump , was little more than a small rock featuring the profile image of the Meatlump King , the symbol of the Galactic Credit Standard , and Aurebesh text reading , " In Meatlump We Trust . " In fact , the Meatlump King would on occasion mint Lumps of his own , by painting the appropriate symbols on an unmarked lump of rock . So pervasive was the cult of the Meatlump King , that aside from these Meatlump Lumps , portraits , dolls , and cardboard cutouts of himself , he could also be seen dancing as a hologram on many holo - entertainment table s . Despite all this , the existence of a Meatlump King was unknown to most the galaxy . That all changed when Vani Korr , a Human journalist of the Corellia Times , sought to learn more about the Meatlumps and their leadership . However , in the process of doing so , she was attacked by several Meatlump Stooge s who overturned her speeder while she was driving . She was thrown clear and knocked unconscious . However , she was rescued when two CorSec troopers approached the Stooges , prompting them to scatter . Vani later woke up in the Coronet Hospital , with her speeder destroyed , and her viewscreen missing . Later on , a spacer got into a deadly altercation with these Stooges , who were vandalizing power generators in Coronet . This prompted Sublieutenant Merkie Howzat to get involved , only to be killed by the spacer . On him was the viewscreen featuring the Corellia Times news logo . Realizing it belonged to an employee , the spacer eventually reunited the viewscreen to its rightful owner , Vani Korr . Vani was pleased that the viewscreen had been returned , but she was not yet ready to give up her investigations of the Meatlump Gang . Understanding that the criminal organization would now recognize her , she commissioned the help of the spacer to act as her field agent . After an extensive investigation resulting in a number of dead ends , the spacer finally managed learn more about the gang , while gaining the good graces of a Meatlump lieutenant by the name of Kaiya Merel . After gaining Kaiya ' s trust , the spacer was initiated into the organization in order to replace gang member Alliin Mepou , who was retiring . It was just the lucky break Vani needed . With her agent successfully infiltrating the Meatlumps as a spy , she could finally determine once and for all if the Meatlump King was truly real , or merely a myth . Meeting the Meatlump King . After Kaiya Merel inducted Vani Korr ' s field agent into the Meatlumps , the spacer was granted full access to their secret hideout . Merel insinuated that the newly inducted " Meatie " might even have a chance to meet the Meatlump King himself . This was a prospect which excited Vani , as she was eager to complete the second part of her Corellia Times newspaper article , " Who are the Meatlumps ? " . When Vani ' s undercover agent entered the hideout , she got the confirmation she needed . The Meatlump King was real . Within his throne room , the spacer personally spoke to the King who welcomed the being to their organization . The spacer heard the King ' s philosophies of life , and witnessed the court of adulation he had built around himself . When the spacer returned to Vani to report the news , she completed work on her newspaper article . Finally , the people of the galaxy could learn what had only since been rumors and speculation . The King was real . And not only was he real , the gang he had a hand in founding was thriving . This proved to be a shock to Vani Korr , for the spacer had only used the most rudimentary deceptions to infiltrate their ranks . How the Meatlump King had managed to elude detection and persecution for so long , was nothing short of a mystery to the Corellia Times reporter . Some point later , a Human female Corellian Security Force agent entered the hideout and apprehended the Meatlump King at blasterpoint using a DH - 17 blaster pistol . The King fearfully leaned back against the steps of his throne room and raised his hands in surrender . Personality and traits . The Meatlump King was a tall , bald , fair skinned Human male . He had gray eyes and black colored eyebrows . During his time as King of the Meatlumps , he painted the front of his face with white makeup , and his lips with black makeup . He also wore black eyeliner . Correlia Times reporter Vani Korr viewed the Meatlump King as an enigmatic , strikingly charismatic figure . Indeed , the King exhibited a strong vocabulary with moments of philosophical insight . This was in contrast to his followers , who were often simpleminded , easily fooled , and spoke a less sophisticated form of Basic . The King pondered concepts such as peace of mind , love of life , and power . However , the King was also known to display megalomaniac tendencies . He believed himself suited for the role of King of the Meatlumps , simply for being the " tallest " and the " most glorious . " If one were to question his rule in place of a democracy , he would swiftly threaten to imprison that individual like a " common droid . " The Meatlump Ordnance Technician would break down in tears if threatened with a visit by the Meatlump King . However other Meatlumps , such as Lieutenant Ubbal Fenn , were more flippant about the King . She shared his philosophy of a galaxy purged of technology , but paid little heed to his official title . The King was also quite vain , and promoted a court of self - glorification . He surrounded himself with self portraits , and cardboard cutouts of himself pointing to his crown . Newin Seedel speculated that he must have kept thousands of knitted dolls of himself . Although he enjoyed his rule , the Meatlump King did not have ambitions for more power . He claimed he did not wish to rule the galaxy , and that he found peace in his own sanctuary beneath the streets of Coronet . He was content to simply rule the Meatlumps , which he viewed as his own " Empire . " He vowed to never again be a puppet , either for Palpatine ' s Galactic Empire , or the opposing Rebel Alliance . He was proud of his Meatlumps , who he believed would never break , lie down , or bend for anyone , other than himself . He thought little of the Corellian Security Force , the law enforcement agency that was the gang ' s mortal enemy . Although the King did not take very kindly to those questioning his rule , he did display a somewhat generous demeanor . He took in the Bender brothers as his own sons , after they escaped from their abusive cyborg father , Lucien . He did not believe his " Empire " should be divided , and welcomed all Meatlumps to his hideout . However , the King was also elusive . Few outside the hideout knew that he existed as a real entity . Corellia Times reporter Vani Korr speculated that the Meatlumps ' " buffoonery " had the unintended consequence of shielding the King from public persecution . However certain Meatlumps , such as Lieutenant Merel , made an active , if feeble attempt to hide the King ' s identity from new members . Equipment . As King , he wore a grotesque , multi - colored coat trimmed with feathers . On the front of his coat was a chest piece which read in Aurebesh , " Meatlump for Life . " He also wore a red , black , and gold crown with a black tassel . On the front of his crown was the Aurebesh symbol for mern . He also wore bracers on his left and right arms . As King , he did not wear any kind of shoe s or boots beneath his coat , electing to go barefoot instead . Behind the scenes . The Meatlump King was a non - player character in the 2003 video game " Star Wars Galaxies : An Empire Divided " , a massively multiplayer online role - playing game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts , prior to its closure on December 15 , 2011 . With the game ' s release , the Meatlump King was only vaguely referenced in the once unfinished Vani Korr Meatlump quests , and later in a brief mention by Meatlump Lieutenant Ubbal Fenn in a quest titled " CorSec Case Files : Assault and Battery " . In the " CorSec Database " H - Z feature released in July , 2006 , the Meatlump King was indirectly referenced as the ex - Imperial scientist who helped found the gang . These cryptic references led some players to speculate whether or not there actually was a " King of the Meatlumps . " It became something of a running joke to trick others into finding the non - existent King . Some would falsely claim that they had found the King , and that killing him would award the player with valuable loot . The game developers recognized the popularity of the fabled Meatlump King , prompting Community Manager Kelly " Valara " Knox , on December 21 , 2007 , to put him up for vote as a contender for a new " Heroic Encounter Foe . " However , the Meatlump King lost as a close second to Exar Kun . In the end , the developers released Chapter 9 : " The Fury of Exar Kun " as the new heroic encounter . However , the continued popularity of the Meatlump King was not lost on the developers . On April Fools , 2008 they published a tongue - in - cheek feature titled , " Wrath of the Meatlump Queen " . The feature pointed out her existence was once only a legend , a story told to newcomers to instill a little fear and awe , and that they would be adding her to " Galaxies " during Game Update 4 . 1 . The storyline of the feature made a meta - reference to the fact that the Queen did not actually exist , and to instead divert their attention to the Meatlump King . Months later , the developers added the Meatlump King as an actual character as part of Chapter 10 : " The Search for the Meatlump King " , on June 19 , 2008 . Finally , players could actually visit the King in his hideout , and participate in a whole manner of quests as part of the new Meatlump theme park targeted towards players level 55 and above . Although the " CorSec Database " feature indicated that the three Bender brothers were the King ' s sons , a Chapter 10 quest revealed that they were actually the sons of Lucien Bender , and the King took them as his own . In the " Agents of Deception " expansion for the " Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game " released on June 29 , 2009 , the Meatlump King was introduced as a promotional card . The artwork for the Meatlump King illustration was completed by Kevin Shoemaker . In the " Threat of the Conqueror " expansion released on March 16 , 2010 , the Meatlump King received an additional illustration in a quest card titled " Assault and Battery " . While the exact context is unclear , the card depicted a CorSec agent apprehending the Meatlump King at blasterpoint within the confines of his throne room .
