Selonian
one of the three primary races in the Corellian System, the Selonians are tall, strong, and quick. Often referred to as serious-minded and refined, the Selonians are well-muscled and covered with short, sleek fur, giving them a seal-like appearance. They have bristly whiskers on their noses, sharp teeth, and long tails. They are excellent swimmers. Taller and more slender than humans, they have long bodies and short limbs. Selonians are equally comfortable walking upright or on all-fours. Each hand or foot is equipped with retractable claws for climbing or defense. The Selonian race is believed to be descended from a predatory aquatic mammal which lived in riverside burrows, but later dug deeper into the ground and farther from water. Each burrow is inhabited by all members of a Selonian family; collectively, they are called a sept. Each sept is distinguished by its lone ferile male breeder. This male, along with the one fertile female, give birth to the sept's members. All male Selonians are born fertile; one of every hundred Selonians born is a male. Of 500 female Selonians, only one will be fertile. These fertile members of the sept, while revered for their fertility, are forced to remain in the burrows. The sterile females run the day-to-day activities of the sept. Non-familial groupings of Selonians, such as the government, are called dens. Each den is made up of sterile females. The Selonians have learned that dealing with other aliens, especially humans, is dangerous. Thus, only specially-trained females ever leave their burrows and contact the outside world. These females learn Basic in addition to the normal conversational Selonian tongue. All Selonians can also speak a modified language of sounds that is used in their burrows. Its pure sounds are not affected by echoes or other auditory anomalies caused by the burrows.

Selonian Coneship
any of the hand-built Selonian transport ships, these coneships look like flattened cones. The wide end contains the ship's engines, while the small end contains the cockpit and viewports. The entire ship lands point upward, so that the ship's pilots must face upward on liftoff, rather than foreward as on most horizontal craft. The average coneship measures 20.5 meters in length, and has only enough room for a pilot and two passengers. The New Republic was forced to enact travellers' advisories in the Corellian system whenever a coneship was in flight, due to their unpredictable nature.

Selonian Fire
this Victory-class Star Destroyer was part of the fleet dispatched under the command of Admiral Ackbar to liberate the planet Ciutric from Prince-Admiral Krennel. Using the Thrawn Pincer to surprise Krennel's fleet, Ackbar had the Selonian Fire and a sister ship, the Corusca Fire, remain on the far side of the Ciutric System until called for. When Krennel activated the gravity well projectors on the Binder, Ackbar ordered the two Victory-class ships to microjump forward. The gravity shadow from the Binder pulled them out of hyperspace behind Krennel's fleet, allowing them to pummel Krennel's ships which were also trapped in place by the Interdictor cruiser.

Selonian Glaive
this heavy weapon was developed by the Selonian race, and was the primary weapon used in combat. The shaft of the glaive was formed from heavy wood. At one end of the glaive was an obsidian blade, while the other end sported a collection of obsidian hooks and barbs. Each glaive was created by an individual Selonian female, who proved herself worthy of wielding it by locating the materials herself.
