====== TONY JAMALLA ======

{{ :npc_tony_jamalla.png?200|}}
===== Race and Faction =====

  * **Species:** [[the_humans|ExoHuman]]
  * **Born:** 2585, aboard the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]]
  * **Affiliation:** Founder & Master Chef, [[Hope Meat Inc.]] ([[beta_age|Beta Age]])
  * **Place of Residence:** [[Hope|Hope Region]] (Beta Age)

===== Background =====

Tony Jamalla started life as the community cook aboard the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]]. After crash‑landing on [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]] at [[day_zero|Day Zero]], Tony parlayed his culinary genius into founding Hope Meat Inc. in October 2626, transforming local [[hoos|Hoos]] herds into gourmet frontier fare. His passion for sustainable butchery and smoke‑house artistry made him a regional celebrity —just as famous for his booming laugh and generous portions as for his savory [[Chew Meat Strips]].

When the [[federal_confederation|Federal Confederation]] nationalized meat production after the [[great_war|Great War]] in 2631, Tony watched helplessly as his plant was shuttered under [[communardism|Communardist]] reforms.  Devastated by the loss of everything he’d built, he walked into the Slaughter Bay of his [[slaughterhouse_and_processing_plant_of_hope_meat_inc|Plant]] and used one of the permanently installed [[guarding_troopers_stun_gun|Guarding Trooper Stun Guns]] to take his own life.
