Selab is one of the five temperate planets of the Mathonore system and likely the most well known of them all. It is considered the cultural capital of the Hapes Consortium due to the ancient history of the capital city Xalia and also since the planet is home to the Tree of Wisdom. The Palace of Qedal in Xalia is used as a secondary headquarters for the Ministry of Culture.

History

Selab was discovered along with the rest of the Mathonore system in 361 and colonised in 362. Charlyk was made the capital planet of the system while Selab maintained a secondary role as a sort of natural reservation. Like Charlyk, Selab was used to develop large farms of Tzimernut and Tik trees from Hapes Prime. The discovery of the Trees of Wisdom and the effect of the Lasarla fruit, the popularity of the planet increased.

When the feudal nobility system was introduced in 702, the planet came under governance of the Duchii House Raquill. Between 702 and 3948, Selab was the centre of what was called the Grand Tarii of Selab which consisted of the planet itself, along with its external territory; the Arxian system. The Grand Tarii of Selab was dissolved when House Tylger took over governance of Arxian in 3948, but House Raquill remained a Tarii family, despite only governing a single planet rather than a system.

The Raquill family maintained governance until 3979 when it took over the Mathonore system and moved to Charlyk. House Qedal took over governance of the Selab, though after 3997 the planet went un-governed by any major noble family and the planet came under the direct jurisdiction of the Archon of the Rim Worlds in 4032.
