TONY JAMALLA

• Species: ExoHuman
• Born: 2585, aboard the Last Frontier
• Affiliation: Founder & Master Chef, Hope Meat Inc. (Beta Age)
• Place of Residence: Hope Region (Beta Age)

Tony Jamalla started life as the community cook aboard the Last Frontier. After crash‑landing on VOI 700 D at Day Zero, Tony parlayed his culinary genius into founding Hope Meat Inc. in October 2626, transforming local 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 nationalized meat production after the Great War in 2631, Tony watched helplessly as his plant was shuttered under Communardist reforms. Devastated by the loss of everything he’d built, he walked into the Slaughter Bay of his Plant and used one of the permanently installed Guarding Trooper Stun Guns to take his own life.

Tony Jamalla’s name is still whispered in the kitchens of frontier inns. His recipes for smoked Hoos sausage and bilax‑marinated filets survive in tattered cookbooks; many cooks swear by the “Jamalla pinch” of spice that transforms any bland cut into a feast.

Tony makes a memorable NPC as:

• Food Quest Giver: Hiring PCs to recover rare bilax root or Hoos prime cuts for a very special banquet.
• Comic Relief Ally: Offering boisterous support (and healing snacks) during a tense encounter.
