An Andorian Starfleet admiral who serves alongside Admiral Katrina Cornwell in the last days of the Federation-Klingon War in 2257.
Shukar is played by Riley Gilchrist in the first-season Discovery episodes The War Without, The War Within and Will You Take My Hand? When the USS Discovery returns from the mirror universe nine months late, he is part of the armed party that beams aboard and secures the bridge before Cornwell and Sarek follow.
With much of Starfleet destroyed and the Klingon houses raiding at will, he takes part by hologram in the council of senior officers that approves a desperate strike on Qo'noS itself, a plan devised by the mirror Philippa Georgiou.
After Michael Burnham and the crew find another way to end the fighting, Shukar is among the dignitaries at the ceremony in Paris where they are honoured.
