History
Jaan Devin was a Selelvian civilian who lived aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) in 2365, and suffered from the Selelvian disease known as The Rot. During his time aboard the Enterprise he became friends with Wesley Crusher, nicknaming him "Orange".
Jaan's friendship with Wesley was less altruistic than it initially appeared. When Jaan learned that he was dying, he apparently, unintentionally used his Selevian power of suggestion to prompt Wesley to focus all his efforts into finding a cure for the Rot. This compulsion was so all consuming that Wesley wasn't even allowing himself to sleep as he continued his efforts to find a cure. Eventually Wesley figured out what was going on but he still kept looking for a cure as he realised the that was what really 'counted'.
When a Kreel named Aneel promised Jaan a cure for "the Rot"- claiming that they had found a medical database along with various advanced weapons that the Kreel had recently salvaged-, Jaan betrayed his friends and colleagues in order to get the cure, helping the Kreel access the Enterprise armoury. However when he came to collect the cure, Aneel killed him with a phaser set to kill, reasoning that he wasn't even lying about possessing a cure as death cured everything.
The Selelvians were a member of the United Federation of Planets until evidence that Selelvian delegates were using the "Knack", a mental manipulation/control ability to manipulate Federation council procedings was uncovered in 2376.
In 2377, the Federation starship USS Trident (NCC-31347) had several encounters with Selelvian renegades after the Selelvian Gleau was killed on that same starship. The Selelvian government demanded that Janos, the Excalibur crewman who had been accused for the murder, be turned over to them. Elizabeth Shelby, as commander of the USS Trident, was instrumental, together with the USS Excalibur and the USS Enterprise were key to the revelation of Selelvian telepathic manipulation of the Federation Council. This revelation lead to the Federation revoking Selelvia's membership. In retaliation, the Selelvians allied themselves with the Tholian Assembly and a short war between the Federation and the Selelvians was the result.

The Selelvians were a member of the United Federation of Planets until evidence that Selelvian delegates were using the "Knack" to manipulate Federation council procedings was uncovered in 2376. The conflict start after an incident aboard the Federation starship USS Trident after the Selelvian Gleau was killed on that same starship.

By late 2376 the alliance of the Tholians and Selevian were being aided by the Orions.
During the war, a shuttle transporting Soleta and Captain Elizabeth Shelby was attacked by Orions and forced down on a barren planetoid. In order to protect Shelby's life, Soleta administered a Vulcan nerve pinch to Shelby, and attacked the Orions single-handedly. Soleta was severly injured, and during her subsequent medical treatment, her half-Romulan heritage was finally discovered. Selelvain renegades continued to plague the area around the New Thallonian Protectorate in 2379.
