Description:
Selonians are bipedal mammals native to Selonia in the Corellia system. They are taller and thinner than humans, with slightly
shorter arms and legs. Their bodies are a bit longer; Selonians are comfortable walking on two legs or four. They have
retractable claws at the ends of their paw-like hands, which give them the ability to dig and climb very well. Their tails,
which average about a half-meter long, help counterbalance the body when walking upright. Their faces are long and pointed with
bristly whiskers and very sharp teeth. They have glossy, short-haired coats which are usually brown or black.
Most Selonians tend to be very serious-minded. They are first and foremost concerned with the safety of their dens, and then
with that of Selonians in general. The well-being of an individual is not as important as the well-being of the whole. This
hive-mind philosophy leaves the Selonians very unemotional about the rest of the universe. It also causes them to be very
honorable, for the actions of an individual might affect the entire den. It is very difficult for a Selonian to lie, and
Selonians in general believe lying is as terrible a crime as murder.
Despite their seemingly primitive existence, the Selonians are at an information age-technological level and have their own
shipyards where they construct vessels capable of travel within the Corellian system. They have possessed the ability of space
travel for many years, but have never developed hyperdrives nor shown much interest as a people in venturing beyond the
Corellian system.
