+//“The term "House of Selene" originates from a time much later than the crowning of Bethenny I, its first recorded use was by a historian in the 46th century.”// - Petter Orland, //History//, 6328
+{{:renders:selene_colour.png?200 |}}The House of Selene was a monarchy that ruled over parts of the [[Inner Planets]] and [[Belt]] from the 41st to the 50th centuries.
+Following the defeat of the [[Jharn]] in the early 41st century much of the solar system found itself free for the first time in generations.

The war effort was too great and at the end of the war the House of Selene collapsed, with the leading members of the royal family either dead or missing. The territories the House of Selene once commanded split into various independent states.
