No, it's nothing to do with stellar matter of any kind. It's not an astronomical object. It is a living being of an unknown species that some variously think of as a planet or a god, but which is actually a parasite.

And while it has some mass, enough to pull in a few minor asteroids, its disappearance is hardly a gravimetric concern for the region. That's why everybody lives even after it disappears.
