Draykken Bender was a male Human outlaw who operated on the planet of Corellia amidst the Galactic Civil War. He held a leadership role within the Meatlumps.
Draykken Bender's progenitors were Lucien Bender and his siblings included Hraykken as well as Louis Bender. Lucien Bender, their father, was an unstable scientist who performed experiments upon his offspring. However, prior to the Battle of Yavin, the three youths successfully fled their abusive parent, aided by a mysterious individual who later became known as the Meatlump King. The man embraced the three boys, rearing them as his own. After Imperial assassins made attempts on the life of their adoptive parent, the Bender siblings established the Meatlumps, a group consisting of zealots who despised technology, along with criminals and terrorists. The Meatlump King served as the public face and ideological leader of the Meatlumps, while the Bender brothers managed the day-to-day operations of the gang. Their base of operations was a secret hideout situated below the city of Coronet. Draykken Bender is responsible for naming the Meatlumps after their preferred food. In retaliation, their father Lucien went on to create the Bofa Treat Gang, also named after food.
Around the time of the Battle of Yavin, two Imperial officers, Major Tery and Colonel Frost, discovered that the three leaders of the Meatlumps were, in reality, brothers. By analyzing the Meatlump attacks on Imperial researchers, Frost and Tery surmised that the brothers' father might have been an Imperial scientist at one point. Later on, Vani Korr, a reporter from the Corellia Times, corroborated their findings and exposed the lineage of the three brothers in her article titled Who are the Meatlumps?.
In 1 ABY, Hraykken and Draykken made the decision to assault a droid factory responsible for producing helper droids on Corellia. They sent a spacer associated with the Meatlumps to carry out the attack on the factory. The spacer accomplished their mission, destroying the majority of the droids, including the "droid queen" QU3-3N. Shortly thereafter, the spacer succeeded in assassinating Lucien Bender, who had previously placed a bounty on his own three sons.
Draykken Bender appeared as a non-player character within the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game which was developed by Sony Online Entertainment and distributed by LucasArts, before its shutdown on December 15, 2011.
The trio of Bender brothers – Hraykken, Draykken, and Louis – were initially referenced in Vani Korr's piece Who are the Meatlumps?, which was incorporated into the game through "Publish 21", launched on August 4, 2005. Later, they were mentioned in online content concerning the Meatlumps on the Star Wars Galaxies website: the "CorSec Database H-Z", released on June 16, 2006, and "Meatlumps!", released on May 30, 2008, as well as in the events of "Chapter 10: The Search for the Meatlump King," released on June 19, 2008. Ultimately, the three Bender brothers were integrated into the game via "Game Update 10," which was released on June 2, 2009.
Within the "CorSec Database H-Z", the Bender brothers were initially depicted as the offspring of the Meatlump King. Nevertheless, it was disclosed with the Game Update 10 that they were, in fact, adopted by the Meatlump King following their escape from Lucien Bender, their biological father.
Examination of unused game data included with the "Publish 28" update suggested that the three Bender brothers were originally intended to be named Lempi, Lucien, and Hamm, with their father being named Andrade. The game's files also contain unused visual representations of Lempi and other Meatlump brothers. These files indicate that Lempi was repurposed as Draykken Bender, Hamm became Hraykken Bender, and Lucien was ultimately used for Louis Bender.
