SELAY

Selay are snake-like humanoids from the planet Selay in the system of Beta Renna. They are a sentient reptilian race that appears to be evolved from an animal similar to a Terran king cobra. They are assumed to be cold-blooded.

Selay are bitter enemies of Anticans, who live on a planet in the same system. The Federation moderated a dispute between the two planets recently, seemingly putting an end to their years of hostility towards each other.

Selay are slightly taller than humans, and have a very snake- like head, including a large hood at the back. Because of this snake-like appearance, they are considered to be ugly to most other humanoids.

Also, due to their descent from venomous reptiles, they have an active venom delivery system in their front fangs, also similar to the Terran king cobra. Both the Selay and the Anticans have applied for Federation membership.

Their thick, snake-like skin also gives them added protection from some types of attacks.
