Shihaungdi was a male Quarren captain in the navy of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Originally serving as a lieutenant, Shihaungdi was stationed aboard the Providence-class carrier/destroyer Dooku's Fury. However, in 19 BBY, at the recommendation of his superior, Vice Admiral Vanto Zahn, the Quarren officer was promoted to captain and given his own command: the Recusant-class light destroyer Malevolent. Under his command, the Malevolent fought at the Battle of Coruscant. It was destroyed from concentrated fire by two Venator-class Star Destroyers, killing Shihaungdi and all hands.
