"I left my bag and strongbox in the cave, though. Will you go get them for me? I can't go any further inside."
―Pech Seki, to a spacer[2]

The Meatlump Cave was a large cave near the city of Tyrena on the Core World of Corellia. It was used as a base of operations of the technology-hating Meatlump gang.

The only entrance to the cave could be found in a rock formation that rose from a hill on the Corellian plains. The Meatlumps used torches to light the dark cave. They had brought tents, primitive tables and chairs to the cave along with simple generators. Among the Meatlumps living in the cave were Ubbal Fenn,[1] Pech Seki[2] and Hrath Koo.[3]

History

"That Meatlump Hrath Koo has bothered me for the last time! He comes into my shop and destroys whatever I'm working on. But no more! Because I'm going to pay you to go into that cave and stop him."
―Teilo Monnro, to a spacer[3]

Hrath Koo attacked by a Dark Jedi.

In 1 ABY,[4] the Meatlumps attacked the starship captain Osto Grissom because he transported electronics into and out of the Corellian system. Major Walden from the Corellian Security Force employed the services of an independent agent to help with the investigation. The agent tracked the Meatlumps to this location and entered the cave by force. During the ensuing fight, several members of the gang were killed, including Hrath Koo. The agent also destroyed much of the Meatlumps' equipment, including weapon caches, armor lockers and food stores to force Ubbal Fenn to reveal their reasons for the attack on Grissom.[1] The CorSec agent also helped the Meatlump Pech Seki, who wanted to leave the gang, find his belongings that he had left behind in the cave.[2] The spacer finally killed the Meatlumps Hrath Koo in the cave because he harassed Teilo Monnro.[3]

  4. ↑ 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.
