The USS Veliko (NCC-62503) was a Challenger-class Federation starship in service during the 24th century. The Veliko was a heavy participant in the Dominion War as part of the 219th Tactical Wing of Starfleet's Eighth Fleet, spending the first two-thirds of the war defending Andoria and later often fought along the front lines. During the early part of 2374, the Veliko was commanded by Captain Evangeline Walters. (The Dominion War Sourcebook: The Fires of Armageddon)
