Veletus V

Veletus V was a gas giant planet in the Veletus system, with five moons.

Thousands of years prior to the 23rd century, a Tholian sectarian war was fought in the Veletus system near Veletus V. Billions of Tholians were killed, and the high-energy plasma which constituted their life energy was released within the gravitational well of Veletus V and its moons. This plasma coalesced to form what became known as the Ifukube Veil.

In 2266, Starfleet began constrution of a space station proximate to Veletus V, designated Deep Space Station M-33. (TOS short story: "Fracture")
