Selonian

Uma espécie sapiente do sistema de Corellian, Selonians eram grandes mamíferos carnívoros musteline com espinhas longas e flexíveis.

Biologia e aparência
Estas espécies cobertas de peles, elegantes e poderosas eram carnívoros que se acreditava terem descido de mamíferos aquáticos. Eles eram bípedes peludos que estavam a uma altura média de dois metros de altura, tornando-os mais altos do que a maioria dos humanos com pernas e braços ligeiramente mais curtos. Na verdade, os selonianos adultos eram capazes de se posicionar entre 1,8 metros e 2,2. metros de altura com os membros femininos da espécie sendo maiores. Seus corpos estavam cobertos por um pêlo marrom ou preto e eles normalmente não usavam roupas em seu mundo natal. No entanto, quando trabalhando ou visitando outros lugares, eles usavam roupas ou roupas apropriadas. Seus corpos longos eram igualmente confortáveis ​​andando em duas pernas ou em todos os quatro. Em duas pernas

As caudas de meio metro de comprimento serviam como um contrapeso para seus corpos quando estavam em pé. Essas caudas eram igualmente capazes de serem usadas como armas potentes em combate. Cabelo curto e brilhante cobria seus corpos, que geralmente era de cor marrom ou preta. No final de suas mãos como garras foram garras retráteis que não só lhes deu a capacidade de cavar, mas também os fez excelentes alpinistas. Tinham longos rostos pontiagudos com bigodes eriçados e dentes compridos. Selonianos foram capazes de ver 20 metros no escuro, com suas características de visão escura sendo apenas preto e branco. Eles também foram capazes de ver duas vezes mais longe em iluminação fraca com eles, capazes de distinguir cores e detalhes sob essa condição75 anos de idade, com alcance específico durante o crescimento até a idade adulta. Aqueles entre 1-8 anos foram considerados crianças, enquanto 9-14 eram adultos jovens e 15-35 anos eram adultos. Um Seloniano entre as idades de 36 a 55 anos foi considerado de meia-idade, enquanto aqueles entre 56 e 74 anos eram considerados velhos e qualquer pessoa com mais de 75 anos era considerada venerável.

Most Selonians were infertile females. One in every hundred was male, and five in every hundred were fertile females.

Society and culture
Despite the massive starship traffic to the Corellian shipyards, many visitors and even some native Corellians knew very little of the Selonians and their distinctive unique alien culture. In mindset, they were a thoroughly grounded and serious race who were primarily concerned with the safety of their people. This meant that the protection of their family dens and their species as a whole was a chief concern. The basis for this line of thinking was because they viewed that the needs of the society outweighed the needs of the individual. To those unaware of the deeper intricacies of the race, the Selonians appeared as an outgoing, friendly and charitable species. However, their interests rarely went beyond securing the good of their respective den. They also had a deep psychological need to reach a consensus when taking action. As individual Selonians felt that the actions of an individual impacted an entire den, they refused to lie as they believed such an act was a crime similar to murder. The underground nature of their existence meant that the Selonians suffered from agoraphobia and were more comfortable in confined spaces compared to open environments.

Despite their mammalian appearance, the social structure of a Selonian family was more similar to insectoid races as they possessed a hive minded society. Their family dens were typically constructed underground and consisted of a single fertile female who was the Queen, a few fertile males and a large number of infertile females. These underground dens were actually created by the Selonians using their sharp claws to make the intricate tunnels and massive dwellings. The Queen and few fertile males were responsible for siring all members of the den. Within the den were sub-groupings known as septs that were offspring fathered by the same fertile male. Females born of the same father and thus were members of the same sept were genetically identical. The Queen herself was capable of being pregnant five times a year where they gave birth to five or more children. Despite their importance, the fertile males were treated scornfully as holding little use beyond breeding and at best as prized breeding stock. In recent years, a rare group had formed amongst the fertile males that attempted to promote breeder rights.

The much more common element within their society were the sterile females who performed all the other functions of Selonian life. The breeding arrangements made by the Queens kept each den as a close knit operation with each sterile female being trained specific duties. Some were, in fact, responsible for both the males and the Queen safety. Den members were responsible for keeping the fertile Queen away from harm and protecting their home. It was known that the Selonians did not recognize relations in the same manner as most Human cultures. Competing dens controlled regions of territory on their homeworld with the ruling group being known as the Overden. Their cities were actually a collection of several dens with each specializing in a skill or craft. These dens supported and aided each other by way of a complicated system of bartering and favor exchanges. A select number of Selonians were specifically trained to deal with aliens and Humans. These individuals were known to integrate themselves into Human societies where they put their carefully learned mannerisms and attitudes at work with aliens in order to interact with them better.

Though they maintained a seemingly primitive existence, the Selonians were in fact an information age level civilization. They were, in fact, considered technologically on par to galactic standards with their dens linked through computer networks and rapid transit systems. Their industrial capacity was also able to help feed the ravenous production needs of the Corellian Engineering Corporation who the Selonians provided with high-tech components. They had mastered shipbuilding technology and even created starships capable of traversing their home system. Selonians had possessed the ability for space travel for many years, though their reluctance to do so had more to do with their mindset. As they had little desire to go beyond the Corellian system, the Selonians did not construct hyperdrives for their vessels.

Selonian warriors, who were almost always female, created their own personal glaives, in a manner similar to a Jedi's creation of their lightsaber. The Human-centric Empire, in an effort to spread xenophobia among the Human population of the Corellian system, spread propaganda saying that Selonians were warlike and prone to violence. Few Humans from the system believed it, however, as the species hadn't been warlike in centuries and the two races co-existed in relative peace. They could speak a modified language among their dens which was not diminished by auditory echoes in their burrows.

As espécies tinham sua própria língua, Mandaba, na qual podiam escrever e falar, embora os membros de seu tipo que estavam acostumados a falar com pessoas de fora pudessem falar em Básico. Etiqueta incluía senhoras de alguma forma. Vários grupos Selonianos eram conhecidos pela xenofobia, incluindo os Overden, Absolutistas e Sacorrian Triad.

Alguns nomes de Selonian comuns eram Cavisek, Maronea andssica
