  Selonian archaeological sites in Lithuania
Selonians are one of the least known Baltic tribes which used to reside in the territories of present Lithuania and Latvia.
The Selonian territory is defined in most general terms, but the author indirectly hunts that he distinguished the Selonian culture already in the first centuries AD and mentions the barrows of the 1st–4th centuries investigated in the northeastern part of Lithuania.
Selonians were mentioned as a separate ethnic group in a generalizing archaeological study of Latvian researchers which appeared in 1926 pointing out that the Selonian culture was the most closely linked one with the Latvian culture.

Apparently the Selonians existed as an ethnic unit at the beginning of the 13th century, but there is no evidence of their administrative and political svoereignty.
The predecessors of the Selonians settled in Augšzeme and the Aiviekste basin (the territory in which Selonian dialects were later found), while the ancestors of the Lettigallians populated present-day Latgale [Moora 1952; Šnore 1994:86[.

Selonians are dark-skinned, but their skins are covered by a short, sleek fur that gives them a seal-like appearance.
The Selonian nature is kind and generous, though they typically do not welcome prolonged diplomatic relationships with outsiders, particularly Corellians, as the outside cultures possess many characteristics that Selonians regard as corrupting to their culture.

 ETHNO-LINGUISTIC CONTACTS BETWEEN LETTIGALLIANS AND SELONIANS AND BALTIC FINNS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In the second half of the first millennium after the birth of Christ, the Lettgallians and Selonians who prior to that had lived in southern and eastern Latgale began to move to the North, and in the 12th century AD the Latgalians reached what today is the northeastern boundary of Latvia (Moora 1952: 110-111).
The northward movement of the Lettigallians and Selonians in the second half of the first millennium after the birth of Christ did not lead to any withdrawal of the Chuds of eastern Latvia.
Proof of this is given by the fact that as the result of pressure from the phoenemic system, the territory in which the aforementioned revoicing occurred in the Lettigallian and Selonian dialects narrowed considerably.

Selonians are orange/brown coloured sentients whose physiology is designed for four footed movement.
Because of the diverse nature of their culture, Selonians are rarely seen off-planet, and those that are allowed off in their unreliable Coneships have to undergo intensive social training.
Coneships are not capable of hyperspace (they can barely get out of the atmosphere), and so Selonians go to Corellia before moving out of the system.

 History of Latvia - Latvian history
Ancestors of Baltic Finn peoples lived in the area since approximately 3000 BC, but during the first half of the second millennium BC the first proto-Baltic tribes entered the area and the culture of the Baltic (Selonians, Semgallians, Couronians, Latgallians) and Finno-Ugric (Livian) tribes was formed.
In the 12th century, the independent evolution of the tribes and communities living along the Baltic Sea in the area of present day Latvia was curtailed by the arrival of western European (primarily German) crusaders travelling east to spread the Catholic faith and the expansion of feudalism.
By the 1270's, the crusaders had established the state of Livonia, a political union of territories belonging to the Livonian Order of Knights and to the Catholic church, covering the homelands of the Couronians, Semgallians, Latgallians, Selonians and Finno-Ugrians (Estonians and Livs) in the territory of present-day Latvia and Estonia.
