Face the Meatlump King in Star Wars Galaxies Chapter 10

This week's Friday Feature on the official Star Wars Galaxies site is all about the feared Meatlumps gang, and the brand-new Meatlumps Theme Park coming in the Chapter 10 patch. The Corellian gang has always been a fan-favorite, and the rumors of the Meatlump King go back almost to the days of SWG's launch. Finally, players will be able to face down this fearsome opponent in the the Meatlump base, a brand new explorable area coming in the next big content drop for the game.

This Theme Park sounds to be introducing a few new mechanics to the game as well. Players who run through the Theme Park will not only receive badges, unlock collections, complete quests, and obtain loot, but they'll also be able to obtain Meatlump "lumps". These ... wads ... are apparently used as currency by the highly unintelligent gangers. Lumps can be turned in to certain vendors for rewards, apparently mimicking the factional currency systems seen in other MMOs. You can check out the official forums for player reactions to the teaser. If you're looking forward to trading lumps with the 'Lumps, you won't have to wait too long; Chapter 10 is dropping onto Test Center this week.
