Japanese sun goddess in Earth mythology and Goa'uld who came to power as a System Lord during the final years of Goa'uld dominance in the Milky Way. Amaterasu was among the delegates that were dispatched by the System Lords to visit Earth. Amaterasu, Yu and Camulus attempted to convince Dr. Elizabeth Weir and the other humans to use their Ancient super-weapon to defeat Baal, who had recently broken off from the System Lord Collective. During desperation in the negotiations, Amaterasu and the others ordered the approach of a Goa'uld Ha'tak in the hopes that the ship would force Earth's hand and demonstrate the power of the technology (or lack thereof). But Baal's forces intercepted and destroyed the ship. Amaterasu and Yu departed Earth without Camulus, who had recently requested asylum. The sun goddess instructed Dr. Weir to inform Camulus that he would be forever remembered as a traitor and coward. PLAYED BY - Kira Clavell FIRST APPEARED - New Order, Part 1
