"Where do I know the name Selaggis from?"
"Another Zsinj strike zone. One of the first I looked at after I assumed command of this task force. One of the moons of Selaggis Six was colonized. I guess Zsinj decided to make a lesson of someone colonizing on his border without his permission. Iron Fist wiped out the whole colony. I think it would be very appropriate if he were wiped out in the same system."

―Wedge Antilles and Han Solo

Selcaron was a moon of Selaggis VI located in the Quelii sector of the Outer Rim Territories.

Description

"They're descending toward the west coast of the primary continent. I think that's where the colony used to be. Atmospheric conditions not helpful. Heavy rain, heavy winds."

―Kell Tainer, to Wedge Antilles

Selcaron was a moon located within the Selaggis system of the Quelii sector, a part of the New Territories portion of the Outer Rim Territories. It lay on the hyperlane known as the Braxant Run, which connected it to the Bandomeer and Vahaba systems.

Selcaron was one of the moons of Selaggis VI, a gas giant that orbited the yellow star Selaggis. Its surface featured gray seas and brown soil. The moon had a favorable climate that attracted colonists.

History

"Most of the Rogues and Wraiths received a communication from an unknown craft as we were departing Selcaron."

―Wedge Antilles

In 7 ABY, Selcaron was the location of a New Republic colony that was attacked by Warlord Zsinj, who used his Super Star Destroyer, the Iron Fist, to obliterate the colony.

Behind the scenes

"You saw what the Iron Fist did on Selaggis. It turned the whole colony into rubble."

―Han Solo

Selcaron was introduced in the 1994 novel The Courtship of Princess Leia, written by Dave Wolverton, which mentioned Selaggis as the location of a colony that was obliterated by Warlord Zsinj's Super Star Destroyer Iron Fist.

Selaggis then appeared in the 1998 PC video game Star Wars: Rebellion, which described it as a planet with a "favorable climate that has attracted colonists."

The 1999 novel X-Wing: Solo Command, written by Aaron Allston, later identified the planet as the gas giant Selaggis Six, and changed the location of the colony to one of its moons, Selcaron.
