Selvaris was a backwater planet of little significance during the Galactic Civil War. It was the closest inhabited planet to the Bilbringi system.
During the Yuuzhan Vong War, it became the location of a major prisoner-of-war camp under the command of Malik Carr- just one of the countless changes brought upon the galaxy by the extragalactic Yuuzhan Vong.

[edit] Geography and Description
Selvaris was a lush planet covered in tropical jungles, forests and blue oceans. Its jungles and forests produced much tropical fruit while its oceans teemed with various forms of marine life. Selvaris was bathed by the rays of the twin suns of Centis Major and Renaant which created a hot, tropical climate.
After taking the planet, the Yuuzhan Vong introduced a number of bioengineered life forms from their home galaxy to the ecosystem on Selvaris, grown to survive easily in their new environment. The extragalactic aliens had often claimed they were always in touch with nature though they were keen to leave their mark on most planets they had conquered, especially Selvaris. Vongforming had commenced on the eastern hemisphere and was scheduled to envelop the entire planet with flora and fauna from their home galaxy within months. Several population centers had already been engulfed by the bioengineered vegetation and technology had been outlawed in favor of organic creations.
[edit] History
During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Selvaris was conquered by the extagalactic Yuuzhan Vong invaders. A prison camp was located on the planet's southern continent for captured Galactic Alliance military personnel, including a large number from the Operation Trinity campaign on Bilbringi. The camp was administrated by Subaltern S'yito.
These prisoner were lucky not to have been enslaved compared to countless others and were even allowed a degree of freedom. However, Selavris's hot climate took its toll on some of the inmates and a persistent salty wind from a nearby estuary did little to improve the situation. However, Selvaris was also rich in life and there was often food available to both prisoner and conqueror. The planet's oceans also teemed with marine life.
In 29 ABY, an escape plan was formed after secret information was relayed to the camp from offworld. A Jenet named Thorsh was able to flee the prison world in the Millennium Falcon, carrying with him the vital data. The remaining prisoners - among them Judder Page and Pash Cracken—were soon transferred to transports destined for Yuuzhan'tar—formerly Coruscant. Though scheduled for sacrifice, many of the Selvaris prisoners were rescued in a daring strike at the convoy by the Galactic Alliance.
