Selkye

Selkye was a planet located in the Zeta Stentor star system of the galaxy's Alpha or Beta Quadrant.

Background
Class M Selkye appeared blue from orbit. Its terrain included trees and mountains.

History
In the past, an indigenous humanoid civilization thrived on Selkye, but the Selkye natives were wiped out by affectionate, furry little symbiotic beavos and parasitic Selkye toad humanoids.

In the 2260s, the Federation sent a long-range probe to Selkye. It reported class M conditions nearly identical to Earth.

In 2266, Professor Richard Spellman led a small expeditionary team of technicians and scientists to assess Selkye's potential for Human colonization. As the starship USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) was delivering the team's equipment to set up a base, scientist Jean Ravel and Leonard McCoy became intrigued by the beavos discovered in an ancient city, and each kept one as a pet. McCoy soon became sick and weak, and when the Enterprise returned to Selkye two days later, they found the science team in a similar condition with their base barricaded against a group of energized toad creatures. James T. Kirk rescued the science team and abandoned the planet.
