The veeka was a type of red-plumed bird that was native to the planet Dathomir. The meat of the species was edible by Dathomirians and Kiffar.
In 19 BBY,Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the events of Dark Disciple, which include the appearance of veekas, to 19 BBY. while on Dathomir and camping near the modified Lancer-class pursuit craft Banshee, the Dathomirian former Sith Asajj Ventress and the Kiffar Jedi Quinlan Vos ate medium-sized veekas. After Ventress returned from the wilderness with two of the birds for dinner, the two plucked and spitted them, which released an appetizing scent into the air.
