Selar was a female Vulcan Starfleet Officer who served in the 24th century, having been born in 2324 with the name T'Pas* (TNG novel: The Eyes of the Beholders).

 * *Note: Selar's tale in The Eyes Of The Beholders contradicts what has been established in Star Trek: New Frontier.''

In 2360, while working at Starfleet Medical, Selar investigated reports of an outbreak of the Romulan disease known as the Gnawing. At the behest of Admiral Uhura, Selar went on an undercover fact-finding mission behind the borders of the Romulan Star Empire with Benjamin Sisko and Tuvok in order to gain more information about the illness.

The Enterprise
Selar served on the USS Enterprise-D from the years 2364-2371. In 2367, Selar was recruited by the Female Q, during the Q civil war to help heal the Q Continuum's wounded. She was briefly granted Q-like powers and was trained in their use by the human/Q hybrid, Amanda Rogers. (NF short story: "'Q'uandary")

In 2371, she took a leave of absence from the Enterprise in order to perform the pon farr, the Vulcan mating ritual, with her husband Voltak. Tragically, Voltak died in the midst of the Pon Farr, and Selar's mating urge was never fully sated. (NF novel #1: House of Cards)

The Excalibur
Selar was assigned to the USS Excalibur (NCC-26517) as chief medical officer under the command of Captain Mackenzie Calhoun in the year 2373.

She was pursued romantically by the ship's Hermat chief engineer, Burgoyne 172, but Selar resisted the Hermat's advances. It was not until Selar was in the throes of a pre-mature Pon Farr and was rescued from the surface of the planet Zondar by Burgoyne, did the two give in to their passions. (NF novel #5: Martyr)

Selar became pregnant by Burgoyne, and attempted to raise the child, named "Xyon" after Captain Calhoun's son, alone on Vulcan. Burgoyne followed Selar to Vulcan where s/he fought for hir rights as Xyon's father. The two eventually decided to raise the child together, on Excalibur-A. (NF novel #10: Renaissance)

Due to Xyon's unique Vulcan/Hermat nature, he aged very rapidly, coming to full maturity in a matter of a few years.

By the year 2379, Selar was spending most of her off-duty time attempting to find a way to slow Xyon's rapid aging. (NF novels: After The Fall, Missing In Action)
