Species
Selkath
Homeworld	Manaan

The Selkath are a sentient aquatic species, native to the ocean-covered planet of Manaan.

As an aquatic species, the Selkath are skilled swimmers. They resemble anthropomorphic sting rays and have blue- or green-colored skin, which is patterned for underwater camouflage, and their mouths are bracketed by cephalic lobes. They tend to stroke these during conversation, analogous to the Human habit of stroking facial hair, such as mustaches.

HistoryEdit

Since Manaan was the only naturally occurring source of kolto, the Selkath held great diplomatic sway during the Jedi Civil War. At that time, they held tightly to their neutrality; however, a few farsighted Selkath occasionally broke their neutrality in secret, and arranged deals to help their preferred side. Eventually, the kolto market disappeared and the galaxy mostly abandoned the Selkath. During the Great Galactic War, the Selkath again became embroiled in galactic affairs. Despite attempts to remain neutral, their surface cities were destroyed, and the species was forced underwater.
