Kendra Shaw is an officer from the Ministry of Defense who is assigned to Pegasus as Helena Cain's aide when the battlestar puts in for an overhaul at the Scorpion Fleet Shipyards. Never having served on a battlestar before, she quickly draws Admiral Cain's attention, initially becoming the victim of a twisted joke relating Shaw's inability to find her way around a battlestar. During the crisis, she becomes one of Cain's closest officers who finds her to be an exemplary officer who was able to become a "razor". As a result she is promoted to captain.
Together with Fisk, she leads a boarding party to the civilian ship Scylla in order to strip it off resources and suitable personnel. When the civilians are unwilling to cooperate and start to riot, Shaw shoots on of them which leads to the deaths of several more.
After Cain's death, she was not particularly liked by her succeeding commanding officers, Jack Fisk and Barry Garner, because she did not give them her respect. Garner disliked her so much that she was demoted and assigned to kitchen duty following his ascension to commanding officer.
Later, Commander Lee Adama chooses her to become his executive officer after taking command of the ship and promotes her to the rank of major, noting that she received glowing reports from Cain, but bad ones from Fisk and Garner. Adama appreciates her scathing honesty about him and his predecessors and choses Shaw because he needs someone close to him who upholds Cain's legacy to the crew, despite his aversion for that legacy.
Shaw proves to be a very hard but competent XO. Not unlike Kara Thrace, she is strong-willed and has some problems with authority, which leads the two to clash over various issues, particularly over her tactical decision that almost destroyed Thrace's and Marcia Case's Viper during their first encounter with the Guardians. She is still haunted by her actions during Cain's command, particularly the shooting on the Scylla and tries to cope by taking drugs (Razor).
Notes
- Shaw's shoulder patch is unlike any other seen in the series. It is yellow on yellow and reads "Ministry of Defense" at the top and "Kobol HQ" at the bottom.

- In early interviews, Shaw's surname was Taggart.
