Veska, nicknamed "the Klingon Gibraltar" by Starfleet, was the fourth planet in the Klathind star system in the Klingon Empire in the Alpha or Beta Quadrant. It was a class N planet, and it had two moons. It was a pelagic world, its largest landmass on only 350 by 120 kilometers. It had a cool temperate, semi-tropical climate, a thick atmosphere and a 22-hour-long day. The climate was ideal for Klingons, as it was humid but not too warm. Sea farming supplied much of the food for the base and visiting starships.
