Selab is a planet in the fictional Star Wars galaxy. It is located in the Hapes Consortium. The planet is completely covered with salt water. There are man-made docking bays located in different regions of the planet. Any ship may land on them and take a long elevator down to the bottom floor of the planet where many different cities are located. Some of major cities are Skiverrn, Killet, Alask, and Veven 3.
Selab has an estimated 4 billion population count. Many live in the city of Veven 3, because of its incredible beauty. However there is a high crime rate in the city. Many different species live on Selab, among them Humans, Ithorians, Rodians, Twi'Leks, and the Selkath. Selab's affiliation is with the Republic, but it has its own independent government system called the Selab Defense Organization, or SDO for short.
Hardly any battles ever come across Selab. It is so well protected by the ocean that no one has ever attempted to destroy the cities. The criminals lurking the cities in secrecy must steal weapons. Weapons are only issued to the Republic and the SDO. Any person who is not part of the Republic or SDO is stripped of their weapons before going down to the cities through the docking bays.
People call Selab Manaan's brother. These two planets are so alike in many different ways. Kolto mines are located on both planets. Many ocean species of Manaan are also located on Selab. As for the history of Selab, none has ever been major. Riots did break out every 100 years but always stopped within a matter of days.
Selab has no moons AND only one small sun. There are plants that grow on the bottom of the ocean called "trees of wisdom". They have been said to bear fruit that improves the knowledge of an elderly's mind. One tree was delivered to Leia Organa four years after the Battle of Endor at the Hapan Gift ceremony.
The word "selab" is probably related to Urdu word selab meaning flood.
