The Bofa Treat Gang was active on the planet Corellia. It was based in a bunker near the city of Kor Vella. Members of the gang usually wore blue shirts, gray undershirts and blue/gray pants.[1]
History
- "What Lucien apparently does not realize is that there is a much larger bounty on him. I would prefer that larger bounty. You take care of Lucien and his gang, and I'll let Louis go."
- ―Bossk, to a spacer
The Bofa Treat Gang was created by the cyborg and mad scientist Lucien Bender after his three sons — Hraykken, Draykken and Louis Bender — escaped their abusive father with the help of a man who would later become the Meatlump King. The man and the three Bender brothers founded the Meatlumps,[1] a gang of technology-hating fanatics named after their favorite food.[2] In response, Lucien Bender created the Bofa Treat Gang,[1] named after bofa treats: sweet, dried, fruit based snackfood.[3]

After the Battle of Yavin, the vindictive Lucien Bender placed a bounty on his three traitorous sons. However, he ignored that a much larger bounty was placed on him and his gang.[1] In 1 ABY,[4] the Trandoshan bounty hunter Bossk was considering to capture the three sons when he discovered that there was a much more lucrative bounty on Lucien's head. He therefore decided to use the three brothers to collect it. Shortly after he had captured the first brother, Louis Bender, near Kor Vella, a spacer affiliated with the Meatlump gang arrived at Bossk's little camp near the Bofa Treat Gang's hideout. Bossk forced the Meatlump to take down the Bofa Treat Gang and their leader for him in exchange of Louis Bender. The spacer entered the hideout and fought his way through the bunker until he finally met Lucien. The ensuing firefight resulted in Lucien's death.[1]

Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided — Item Decription: "Bofa Treat"
- ↑ 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.
