Homeworld: Gilead (Hanar)
Shelly Parker is a native of Amargosa and the cousin of Elizabeth “Lizzy” Parker. By 430 IE, she serves as one of the key figures among the human separatists living in the Gilead Autonomous District on Hanar. Though she bears a resemblance to Lizzy, Shelly and JT Austin never directly interact.
During the Liberation of Hanar, Shelly’s father is killed shortly before Tishla emerges from a shuttle to call for a truce between the Gelt and human survivors. Despite her lingering bitterness over the invasion, Shelly develops a grudging respect for Tishla’s leadership. The two women maintain a wary, pragmatic dynamic: Shelly distrusts centralized authority, while Tishla views Shelly as a stabilizing force within the separatist enclave—one capable of preventing figures like Nobu Katsumoto from igniting further violence.
Author’s Note:
Shelly was Lizzy’s name in an earlier draft of The Children of Amargosa. Her name was recycled as a means of possibly giving JT a conflict to deal with while on Hanar, but that never panned out.
