Selonian

A furry, burrowing species from the Corellian system, Selonians were large mustiline (weasel-like) carnivorous mammals with long, flexible spines. They are equally comfortable with travelling 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. Non-family like clan 'Septs' were called 'Dens' which was made up of sterile females. Although they did possess advanced technology, they usually stayed on Selonia.

Selonians averaged 1.8 to 2.2 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 are from an aquatic mammal species that lived in riverside burrows which they still use as their homes.

Selonians were also brutally honest, and resembled the Wookiees in their trustworthiness and sense of honor. Dishonor and deception were crimes that were unforgivable.



Specially trained Selonian females are the only source of contact with the species as the race long believed all other species to be dangerous. These brave members of the race are fluent in both Basic and their native language making them a form of diplomats. In addition to this, they can speak a modified language among their dens which is not diminished by auditory echoes in their burrows.
