Astrological Information
Shaarada is located on the outskirts of the Betseeda System. It once orbited an unknown planet that imploded eons ago. As a result, two distinctive worlds emerged with extremely opposite topographies and climates. Shaarada has a extremely inhospitable surface with massive dust storms, almost no natural water, and several poisonous lakes. There has never been a concerted effort to colonize or explore the planet. First contact with the world and it's people was made by Corellians many millennia ago. It has a standard orbit of 381 days.
