History

Seluk was born and raised on the Orion homeworld. At a young age, he showed great leadership skills. As a teenager, he joined his fellow Orions and came aboard an Orion pirate vessel as an assistant in selling slave women. He showed great skill in negotiating with clients.

Seluk's stolen Elasi ship

In later years, after a disagreement with his captain, he ended his affiliation with the Orion Syndicate to work on his own. He collected a crew made up of a large assortment of different species, one including a rogue Starfleet ensign named Nick Sather who joined in 2265 and who would become Seluk’s second in command.

In 2269, Seluk and his crew would abandon their vessel for a more powerful Elasi Storm Class Frigate, a much more powerful vessel, equipped with a cloaking device.

House of Tk'nev Conflict

At some point Saluk and Sather were capture by Klingon forces and sent to the ice world of Rura Penthe. While there war once again started between the Klingon empire and the federation. One of the Klingon's new allies, Zach Banner (mirror), was given command of a destroyer. Banner chose to bring on the help of two pirates. Seluk and Sather were free from their frozen hell hole but also sent to the front lines of the war effort. Banner was aware of their counterpart's ability and knew they would be of use. With their help Banner was able to lead successful attacks on federation shipping.

As the war came to an end Saluk and Sather saw the federation was going to win. They stole a small shuttle craft from the Klingon ship and made it back to Qo'noS to collect their reward. Once there Saluk was able to find their next client (Incursion (Eagle comic))

Business with the Gorn

In 2270, Seluk would take a job by the Gorn to steal crates of classified cargo from a Federation research group on Andoria. Along with the cargo his landing party also captured several Starfleet officers, Clause Elberg and Charlie Christianson. Saluk found that Mr. Elberg was also once Sather's fellow officer and was suspicious about Sather's loyalty but Nick assured him it was to the pirate crew. Saluk ordered Sather to use their stolen Klingon mind sifter on Elberg, even knowing the possible damages to the human. But once the cargo was about to be transferred to the Gorn ship, the USS Eagle and the USS Saladin found Seluk’s position and retrieved the stolen cargo via transporter. The Stafleet ship was also able to beam back Mr. Sather, who at the last minute turned his back on his fellow pirates to save Elberg. knowing the situation wasn't worth the risk Saluk ordered the ship out of the system.

Commodore capture

Seluk's next job was to capture a federation shuttlecraft, one also from the USS Eagle. Their target was a Commodore Alexander Enwright who was on his way to a conference. the crew of the shuttle craft was knocked out and the Commodore capture after a quick blast from the canones on stun setting, while the commodore was beamed on board the rest of the shuttle crew was left for dead. He preceded bring the commodore to his Klingon business partners.
