Welcome Legends! Today’s Friday Feature is by the renowned Corellia Times journalist Vani Korr! We are excited to have such a famous journalist write for us and hope you are too! Enjoy!

By Vani Korr
In a special report for the Galactic News Network
The prestigious Core World of Corellia has some of the largest and most magnificent urban centers in the galaxy. Coronet, Tyrena, Kor Vella and Doaba Guerfel are bustling mega-cities, technologically advanced and with beautiful architecture. Unfortunately, prosperity is followed by envy and these cities now also harbour a large criminal underworld.
Of the many Corellian city gangs, the most brutal one is the Meatlump Gang. Numbering in the thousands and instantly recognizable by their tattered red clothing, these fanatical thugs commit terror attacks anywhere in our cities. CorSec views the Meatlumps as “somewhat stupid” but the damage their bombs cause is enormous. The Meatlumps often attack machinery, droids, electronic devices or speeders. Sometimes people get hurt, but my sources in CorSec could not report any fatalities. And not much is ever reported stolen. If not robbery, what is the incentive of their terrorism? Why do they do it? Is there any reason at all?
This themepark introduces you to the Meatlump Gang! Travel the galaxy, defuse hidden bombs and survive! Can you find the entrance to the secret Meatlump Hideout?
There is more. Being so large and wide-spread, why doesn’t the Meatlump Gang just fall apart? One would expect infighting, or overreach, or other threats to the organisation. Yes, I too know the Corellian children’s tale of a mysterious and charismatic Meatlump leader. A “Meatlump King” ruling from his very own throne room hidden somewhere in the abandoned sewers deep down below Coronet. Could this Meatlump King be real? Is he the one who keeps the lower Meatlumps in line? Are they too afraid of him to revolt or leave?
Investigative journalism is based on facts. No evidence of a Meatlump King has ever been found. No-one even remembers where the entrance to the old sewers is. At this time, I must conclude that the Meatlump King is an urban legend of Corellia.
Getting inside is just the start! Explore the Meatlump Hideout and discover many quest opportunities! And if you are brave enough, confront the danger lurking in the lower maintenance levels!

The Meatlump currency is the lump. Lumps are small stones engraved with the silhouette of an important-looking Meatlump. You can earn lumps by doing themepark quests and spend them on Meatlump lifestyle items. Or keep them and amass a fortune!
During a recent bombing attack on Coronet Starport, some Meatlumps stowed away on spaceships to other worlds. Some ships were lost but most made it to their destinations. Now, camps with armed Meatlump guards are seen near cities around the galaxy. What is the purpose of these camps? What are they hiding there? So many questions!
Once you know where to find them, raid the Meatlump outposts on other planets! Defeat the guards, slice the locks and collect the rewards. And remember, ‘X’ marks the spot!
I need your help, dear reader! I am to meet a Meatlump informer in Coronet. His name is Merkie Howzat. But I am afraid this meeting is a trap. Can you provide safety while I do the interview? The informer is waiting inside a walled-in area near the cantina, or near the Coronet Salon. Please meet me there soon because my article has an impossible deadline!
Merkie can possibly be found at any of the locations below!

This is Vani Korr signing off.
