Lok slicers

A group of slicers operated on the planet Lok at the time of the Galactic Civil War. They were based in a building in the barren wilderness not far from Nym's Stronghold.

History
Their house was filled with technology of all kinds, including computers, terminals, viewscreens and various droids. It was defended by several IG-106 sentry droids and all slicers were armed with small firearms.

In 1 ABY the members of this group included Kelson Sharphorn, Skaelor Tay and Byd Chillings, various Quality Assurance staff members and several slicer students. They belonged to different species, including Bith, Aqualish, Devaronians, Humans, a Bothan and an Ithorian. Nothing is known about their motives, goals or targets.

That year, the technology-hating Meatlumps had expanded to Lok, establishing a small Meatlump camp near Nym's Stronghold. They planted an explosive device in the slicers' house to destroy the building and the technology in it — most likely along with most of the slicers. A spacer who had infiltrated the Meatlump gang found the bomb in time and defused it.

In the same year, spacers attacked their house and killed Sharphorn, Tay and Chillings, along with several other members of the organization.

Behind the scenes
This group and their house was added to Sony Online Entertainment's MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies with the Meatlumps Theme Park in Chapter 10 in June 2008. In the basement of the house there's a bomb that players have to defuse as part of a mission during the Meatlumps Theme Park.

To solve the mission, none of the NPCs present in the house need to be attacked or killed, though it's likely that some of the NPCs will attack the players. The slicer NPCs are not part of any mission, but so-called "Chronicle Relics" can be looted from them. Such relics can be used by players in the Chronicle Quest system to create their own quests for other players. By using the relics related to the slicer NPCs, the quests will task the player with killing slicer sentries, slicer students or the named NPCs in the house.
