She was portrayed by Jan Chappell, who also voiced the character for Big Finish.
==Biography==
Cally was a native of Auron, a planet of telepaths. She once claimed that her people sent her to aid the resistance movement on Saurian Major, although her people referred to her as a renegade who had defied their isolationist policy. Cally was the only survivor when the Federation used chemical and germ warfare to wipe out the resistance, since her alien nature left her immune. She planned to end her resistance with a final suicide attack, but encountered Blake, Avon and Vila, joining them in their mission to sabotage the Federation communication complex on the planet and teleporting safely back to the Liberator with them. Unable to return home, she elected to stay on the ship.
Not long after coming aboard, Cally was mentally influenced by the Lost, a group of renegade Aurons, and helped them imprison the ship in their web. She took part in Blake's raid on the Federation complex on Centero, during which she was accidentally left behind and captured by Blake's enemy Travis. She was surprised when Blake came back for her and was successfully rescued. She later acted as Avon's assistant when he solved a series of murders aboard the spaceship Ortega. She became close to Avon and also to Jenna. Despite being the most committed to Blake's cause, she was also one of the first to question the morality of his decisions.
Cally accompanied Blake in rescuing the exiled President Sarkoff from Federation house arrest and also journeyed with him to Aristo in order to retrieve Orac. During Blake's attempt to enlist the aid of the criminal organisation Terra Nostra, Cally became aware of an entity from another dimension, the Darkness, that was attempting to possess Orac and enter their dimension, fighting it off with the aid of the telepathic moon discs. Her attempt to convince Blake they were in need of rest mostly fell on deaf ears and she became caught up in his plan to free Horizon from Federation control, during which she was briefly captured and put to work in the mines.
Cally had only a limited role in the Liberator's next few voyages, usually being left to mind the ship with Jenna. She and Avon were the most suspicious of the attempt to involve Blake in a bloodless coup and were proved correct when it transpired the conspirators had been set up by Servalan. Cally accompanied Blake and Jenna to Freedom City to seek out information on the Federation's control complex Star One, and took part in Blake's attack on the base and the battle with the alien Andromedans that followed.
With the Liberator badly damaged in the battle, Cally evacuated by escape pod and was picked up by a hospital ship from the planet Chenga. She first encountered the similarly marooned Servalan, and then Vila, before learning that the Hi-Techs of Chenga wanted them as organ donors. They were rescued by the Liberator, now under the command of Avon with two new crewmembers Tarrant and Dayna.
Cally remained with the Liberator during their subsequent encounters with Servalan and the remnants of the Federation. When they were drawn to the artificial planet Crandor, Cally was shocked to learn it was ruled by the Thaarn, a being from Auron mythology. The Thaarn desired the company of another telepath but Cally tricked him into turning off his energy dampeners and then destroyed his machinery, allowing herself and her friends to escape, although she was unable to bring herself to kill the Thaarn when she saw the wizened elderly creature he had become.
Cally disapproved of Avon's plan to seek revenge on the Federation torturer Shrinker and delayed the mission by convincing the crew to help her people, who were stricken with a virus, after receiving a telepathic cry for help from her sister Zelda. However, the mission ended in tragedy as Servalan took over Auron and allowed the virus to wipe out almost the entire population. Cally was unable to save Zelda, who stayed behind in the replication plant shortly before it was destroyed by the Federation, and ultimately chose to stay behind on the ship rather than join the few survivors in recreating their race with brood units.
The experience left Cally especially vulnerable and she developed a connection with an undead alien whose corpse the crew discovered. The alien used the link to drain energy from both Cally and the Liberator to recreate itself. Cally seemed willing to die to allow the alien to live until Avon goaded it into trying to kill him. Cally refused to allow it to happen and broke the link, allowing Avon to destroy the alien's new body.
Cally accompanied the Liberator on its last trip to Terminal, where she and Tarrant followed Avon to the surface against his instructions. Captured by Servalan but knowing the Liberator was damaged beyond repair after an encounter with a particle storm, they surrendered the ship to her and watched as it broke up on trying to leave orbit. Cally had little chance to enjoy the victory, as she was killed soon after when a booby trap left behind by Servalan destroyed the bunker on Terminal.
