- "There's a rival Meatlump lieutenant that I've been meaning to take down a peg or two. Word is that he is planning something big. I want those plans for myself. I am, after all, the far greater Meatlump. Find out what he's planning and then beat him to it."
- ―Kaiya Merel, to a spacer
Stephax Dain was a Human male who lived on Corellia during the Galactic Civil War. Following the Battle of Yavin, he was a lieutenant of the Meatlump gang, a Corellian technology-hating terrorist organization.[2] In 1 ABY,[1] Stephax Dain launched an ambitious attack on a Weapons Research Facility located on Naboo's moon of Rori. However, a rival Meatlump lieutenant by the name of Kaiya Merel was not keen on letting Dain take all the credit of this action. She tasked a new Meatlump recruit to search Stephax Dain's camp near Kor Vella. The spacer found a well-worn notebook that contained detailed information about Stephax's plans. Kaiya Merel therefore ordered her recruit to disrupt the facility operations before her rival but Stephax and his Meatlump pronks had already taken over the facility when the spacer arrived on Rori. The adventurer attacked the Meatlumps to take control of the research facility, killing Stephax Dain and a number of pronks.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Dephax Stain.
Stephax Dain appeared as a non-player character in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[2] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3] Stephax Dain was added to the game with the update dubbed "Chapter 10: The Search for the Meatlump King," released on June 19, 2008.[4]
This non-player character (NPC) was known in the game as Stephax Dain or Dephax Stain, depending of the Combat Level (CL) of the player. If the player performed the quest "The Meatlumps Hideout, Part 7" during the leveling of their character (at CL 65), the NPC would be named Stephax Dain. If the player performed the quest after the end of the game (at CL 90), the NPC would be named Dephax Stain. Multiple story elements indicated that the quest was intended to be achieved at CL 65.[2]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 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.
