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.
