"We Selonians can do lying, but we have no practice at it. We see it is a bad thing. Not a little bad thing, as with you, but a big bad thing, like murder."
―Dracmus[src]

A furry, burrowing species from the Corellian system, Selonians were large musteline carnivorous mammals with long, flexible spines. They were equally comfortable with traveling on all fours or upright. Most Selonians were infertile females. One in every hundred was male, and five in every hundred were fertile females. Selonians lived in clans called "septs," always headed by a female. Septs were organized into dens, which were made up of sterile females and a small number of breeder males and females. Although they did possess advanced technology, they generally stayed on Selonia.

[edit] History

Selonians averaged two meters tall, with sterile females the largest and strongest. They had needle-sharp fangs, equally sharp claws on their hands and feet which made them excellent climbers, powerful tails, and were furious in combat. Many Selonians also lived on Talus, Tralus, and Corellia, with additional dens on planets scattered throughout the galaxy. They had a reputation for being refined and a serious minded species. It is believed that their origins were from an aquatic mammal species that lived in riverside burrows which they still used as their homes.

Selonians were also brutally honest, and like Wookiees in their trustworthiness and sense of honor.

Specially trained Selonians were a source of contact with other species as the race was long believed by all other species to be potentially dangerous. These members of the race were male. 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.

A Selonian was known to work for Jabba Desilijic Tiure as a chef.
