Shelby was a 24th century Human individual, a member of Starfleet who was the captain and commanding officer of the USS Sutherland during the Dominion War.

Shelby was promoted to the rank of captain in the year 2373. When Elizabeth Shelby saw Shelby's name on a promotion list while still serving on the USS Excalibur, she briefly thought it was her. Elizabeth had to point out she was not "that Shelby". (NF - Prometheans novel: Martyr; NF - Tales from the Captain's Table short story: "Pain Management")

In 2374, Jadzia Dax called in a favor from Shelby when the Sutherland was docked at Deep Space 9. Fulfilling this favor, Shelby gave Lieutenant Manuele Atoa time off to perform at Dax's pre-wedding party. (DS9 episode: "You Are Cordially Invited...")

In 2395 of an alternate future, a Captain Shelby commanded the USS Yorktown, assigned to patrol the Federation-Romulan border and conduct long-range sensor scans of the Devron star system. (TNG novelization: All Good Things...)
