One of the bombshells dropped in Episode 6 was that Amalia True is not actually who she seems to be. While viewers have known her by that name for the first half of the season, it was revealed that she's not actually from the same time period.
Amalia is from the future, where she is known as "Stripe" (though her full name is Zephyr Alexis Navine). In her time period, she's a member of the Planetary Defense Coalition, the military-like organization fighting against the rebel-like Freelife.
The PDC seems to be pro-Galanthi in an almost religious sort of way, though most of them are currently dead. It's assumed their job is to protect the planet, but the details are still a little unclear.
The Galanthi hurtled her consciousness back in time — though she's not quite sure how or why. This is likely what we'll see explained in the latter half of the season.
