Dorvin Kanu was a female Human Meatlump who lived on the planet Corellia during the time of the Galactic Civil War. Following the Battle of Yavin, she was a lieutenant of the technology-hating Meatlumps and operated out of the Meatlump Hideout in Coronet City. In 1 ABY, she tasked a spacer to destroy as much droids as possible in the lower maintenance areas of Coronet's maintenance tunnels. The spacer therefore descended into the hostile lower maintenance areas and attacked the droids, mostly utilitarian droids, working in the area. The spacer finally destroyed thirty-four EG-6 power droids, MSE-6-series repair droids, R5-series astromech droids and blastromech droids.
Dorvin Kanu 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, prior to its closure on December 15, 2011. Dorvin Kanu was added to the game as part of the "Meatlumps Theme Park," introduced with "Chapter 10: The Search for the Meatlump King," released on June 19, 2008.
