Ensign Shankar was a Human operations division Starfleet communications officer who served aboard the USS Enterprise under Captain Christopher Pike in 2259.
That year, he was unable to make contact with a combat cruiser that had issued a distress call, despite trying everything he knew to do, as the planet nearby was interfering with his attempts. (SNW: "Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach")
Shankar was portrayed by Shawn Ahmed.
