Name: Vala Namwa
Species: Mermoid
Home Planet: Oceana
Bio: The ships cook and resident alien mermaid, Vala was brought up in the richest part of her planet. Her father made his money building Star Voyagers and tried to fast track his daughter to the top of the business. However, Vala, who had spent much time amongst the crews of her fathers’ ships, refused, saying she knew many people who deserved the job more than her. When her father rebuked her, she ran away. She joined the Lazarus as a cook to spite her father, as he viewed the cooks as the lowest job on a voyager. It also helped that the Lazarus was a Voyager run by her fathers’ rivals’ company.
