Shantil III was the inhabited third planet in its star system. Located in the Alpha or Beta Quadrant, it was in the same sector as El-Adrel IV, Kanda IV, Malindi VII, and Razna V.

It was the place of origin for a mytho-historical drama, in which the characters Darmok and Jalad faced a common foe on the island-continent of Tanagra and achieved mutual understanding in the process. The story was later incorporated into the Tamarian language. (TNG: "Darmok")

This planet was only mentioned in dialogue.
In the script, the pronunciation for Shantil was "SHAHN-til". [1]
