Veloz Prime was a Class M planet in the Demilitarized Zone between the United Federation of Planets and the Cardassian Union. It was the site of a Cardassian colony.
In 2373, the Michael Eddington's Maquis cell attacked the colony with cobalt diselenide, a nerve agent deadly to Cardassians but harmless to most other humanoids. The Cardassians were forced to evacuated, and afterwards, the Maquis claimed the planet for themselves. Their triumph was short-lived however, as several months later, the colony was destroyed by the Jem'Hadar shortly before the outbreak of the Dominion War.
