"As an organization, the Meatlumps are growing in numbers daily."
"I've noticed, there are a lot of people running around these sewers."
"There could be more. You think you could give me a hand?"
―Recruiter Joe and a spacer[1]

Joe was a male Human Meatlump who lived on the planet Corellia during the time of the Galactic Civil War. Sometime following the Battle of Yavin, he operated out of the Meatlump Hideout in Coronet City. As a recruiter for the technolohy-hating Meatlumps, it was his job to seek out new members for the gang.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] Recruiter Joe tasked a spacer with traveling the galaxy, and handing out books called the Meatlump Manifesto in order to attract new recruits.[1]

  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.
