"Can you do something for me? I've noticed some of the Meatlumps here in the hideout are angry for some reason. Can you cheer them up for me?"
―Balia Alloo, to a spacer[1]

Balia Alloo was a Human Meatlump who lived on the planet Corellia during the time of the Galactic Civil War. Sometime following the Battle of Yavin, Alloo operated out of the Meatlump Hideout in Coronet City.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] Balia Alloo noticed that many of her fellow Meatlumps had suddenly become angry. Alloo offered the job of cheering up her comrades to a spacer who infiltrated the hideout. The spacer accepted the task of motivating the Meatlumps, many of which desired physical contact or recognition for their accomplishments. To that end, the spacer searched the hideout for at least a dozen angry Meatlumps, offering hugs, smiles, applause, and other signs of encouragement.[1]

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 SWG logo sm Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Quest: "Twelve Angry Meatlumps" on Corellia
  2. ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
