A Starfleet admiral who in 2401 brings Picard the news that a spatial anomaly is broadcasting a plea addressed to him by name, sending him out to the USS Stargazer.
Admiral Sally Whitley appears in The Star Gazer, the opening episode of the second season of Picard, played by April Grace.
In 2401 the Stargazer under Captain Rios investigates a rift in space that is transmitting a message in many languages. Once it is deciphered as a request to join the Federation and a call for Picard personally, Whitley travels to the chateau in La Barre to brief him. She explains what has been found and asks the admiral, by then chancellor of Starfleet Academy, to go to the anomaly.
She is among the senior officers following events as a fleet gathers around the rift and a Borg ship emerges from it.
