Sha Qarot's star was a part of the Deep Core's Sha Qarot system, situated within the Interior and in grid square L-12 on the Standard Galactic Grid. It was orbited by the planet Sha Qarot, which had a poisonous atmosphere and a volcanic surface and was in turn circled by the moon Fex. The red star appeared large from Fex's surface, and it led to the moon having a purple-colored landscape.
Fex was home to several non-sentient species, including an apex predator known as the Fexian skullborer. When employees of the biotech company Kelen Biolabs carried out research on Fex at some point by 0 ABY, they used containers with glow panels that mimicked the ultraviolet light and radiation of Sha Qarot's star in order to trap Fexian skullborers.
Sha Qarot's star appeared in the 2015 novel Heir to the Jedi, written by Kevin Hearne. It was pictured on the cover of the Brazilian-language edition of the novel, which was illustrated by Two Dots Illustration.
