By early 2368, Fleet Admiral Shanthi was the Commander-in-Chief of the Federation Starfleet.

In 2370, Captain Picard reported to her after discovering Admiral Erik Pressman's plot to recover an illegal Federation interphase cloaking device from the wreckage of the USS Pegasus. Shanthi assured Picard that there would be a full inquiry once the USS Enterprise reached Starbase 247. (TNG episode: "The Pegasus")
Sometime before 2373, she commanded the USS Thunderchild on its shakedown cruise. (CCG set: Blaze of Glory)
