Qina was a heavenly body situated within the Moddell sector of the Outer Rim Territories, specifically located at coordinates H-16 on the Standard Galactic Grid. Hyperspace routes connected it to the nearby locations of Kuna's Tooth, Thonner, and Trindello. A map depicting Qina's location in the Moddell sector was included in The Rebel Files, the Rebel Alliance's collection of physical documents.
The current Star Wars canon introduced Qina in the eighteenth issue of De Agostini's Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon magazine, released around May 6, 2015. Conversely, within the Star Wars Legends continuity, the moon named Qina initially appeared in the roleplaying adventure titled "Race for the Tessent." This adventure was designed for use with Wizards of the Coast's Star Wars Roleplaying Game and was featured in the ninth issue of the Star Wars Gamer magazine, published on February 22, 2002.
