The spiritual leader of New Eden on Terralysium in 2257, called the All-Mother, who guides a community of humans descended from people carried away from Earth during the Third World War.
Amesha appears in New Eden, played by Sheila McCarthy. Her people live without advanced technology and follow a blended faith drawn from many of Earth's religions, founded by ancestors who believe an angel lifted their church to safety in 2053.
When Pike, Burnham and Owosekun arrive claiming to be travellers from the north, Amesha receives them kindly and explains the scripture and the stained-glass window that record the rescue. Because the settlers left Earth before warp flight, Pike rules that General Order One applies and the landing party hides its origins.
She is contrasted with Jacob, whose family has always believed that the rest of humanity survived.
