- Astronomical Location Name: Sellia II
- Classification: Moon
- Location: Ord Providence
- Rotational Period: 13.7 hour rotational period.
- Orbital Period: 275 galactic standard day orbital period.
- Size: Medium
- Affiliation: Galactic Alliance
- Population: Sparse
- Demographics: Human colonists, referred to as Sellites.
- Accessibility: Sellia II is easily accessed. Ord Providence's close proximity to the Rimma Trade Route and the moon's highly stable atmosphere make visitation incredibly easy.
- Description: A medium sized moon with a Type 1 atmosphere, one of two moons that orbits the terrestrial planet of Ord Providence. The moon has a small terrestrial surface, with giant root-like plants making up the majority of the astronomical objects mass. The largest of these 'roots' stretch well into the stratosphere, and inhabitants of the moon build their structures on top of and ingrained into them for support.
- Sellite Settlement:
- An unnamed settlement belonging to the Sellite Human settlers who came to the moon amidst the Clone Wars. It's built into a larger root structure. Though the settlement is organic in it's construction, it was built to resemble the military bases of the Old Republic.
- Sellian Jedi Praxeum:
- A relatively small temple sanctioned by Ord Providence's Council of Elders in 722 ABY. The hope was that, along side the planet's already toxic atmosphere, that a Jedi Praxeum would further increase the security of their world. The structure is built into hanging offshoots of a larger root structure, naturally grown into place by the Jedi who constructed the temple. While the temple is a generally remote location, it has begun to pick up prominence as the ideal location for Jedi to hone their piloting skills.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Despite it's stable atmosphere, Sellia II spent the majority of it's history uninhabited. The Pius Dea, who had once laid claim to Ord Providence, found the bizarre terrain of the moon to be unappealing, and poisoning of the planet's atmosphere by Clouzon-36 desensitized travel to it's surface. In 20 BBY, however, this changed, when a deserter from the Grand Army of the Republic lead a group of human refugees to the moon. These settlers, known in modern times as the Sellites, would model their culture after Republic Military Doctrine, but would ultimately remain isolated until the Godoans settled Ord Providence in 4 ABY. After diplomatic discussions, the Prov Godoan people agreed to leave Sellia II untouched, allowing the Sellites their isolation. In 722 ABY, however, it was agreed upon that a Jedi Praxeum would be founded on the moon, an agreement between Ord Providence's oligarchical council and the Jedi Order. The Sellites, though staunch isolationists, welcomed the arrangement with eagerness. Human descendants of the original settlers are known to guard the temple, dawning recovered Clone Trooper armor to emulate the defector who had lead them to the moon. Sillia II is still relatively unknown, but it's become an underground hotbed for Jedi pilots looking to test their metal against the strange flora of the moon.
