Shella Rinou was a female Human smuggler who worked alongside the Herglic Kelric. Shella was the youngest daughter of Malcolm Dallory, the captain of a fleet of smuggling vessels. In around 1.5 BBY she left home to learn the business from the ground up, accompanied by Kelric.
Headstrong, bright, and a bit too sure of herself, Shella was kept in place (and in one piece) by Kelric, at the behest of Malcolm.
Shella was the owner of the light freighter, the Listing Dewback with which she had made several trips to Rodia, owing to its stealth system.
At some point, she journeyed to Rodia to deliver a cargo of weapons to a client. On their approach to the planet in 3.5 ABY,[1] despite her confidence, she was shocked to find the planetary sensors had been upgraded, necessitating a backup stealth system; the anxious situation had exchanges of sarcastic remarks with Kelric.
The problems didn't end there. The Dewback had to land in the continental interior, with heavy night air. The client had vanished and the leader of a local population of Chekkoo Rodians claimed him to have "shucumbed to the dangers of our Ekloska forests" and would take the shipment himself for a war against the Chattza clan.
The Rodians moved in on Shella and Kelric to take the weapon shipment, however upon Kelric's command, they ran back into the ship and launched in time, as the Rodians below shooted in vain with their blasters.
