John Robert Ashe was the leader of a human settlement on the planet Uxarieus in 2472.
Biography
Ashe was the father of Mary Ashe. He bore responsibility for choosing the location of the colony, and therefore became unpopular among some colonists when the settlement appeared to be on the brink of failure.
Ultimately, it was the deliberate sacrifice of his own life that ensured the colony's survival. (TV: Colony in Space)
