Veek

Veek was a terrestrial astronomical object in the Outer Rim. During the High Republic Era, it was inhabited by members of a sentient species, including the child Yesula and her father. At a point no earlier than 227 BBY, their home caught on fire and they were rescued by Jedi Master Kelnacca and his Padawan, Yarzion Vell. After they safely escaped, Vell returned to the burning building to rescue the droid Zeekay, who had holos of Yesula's deceased mother in his databanks. Kelnacca then knighted Vell for his actions.

Veek was a terrestrial astronomical object located in the Outer Rim. It had a Type I atmosphere breathable by multiple species.
==History==
During the High Republic Era, the child Yesula and her father lived on Veek. At a point no earlier than 227 BBY,The section of The Acolyte - Kelnacca 1 in which Veek appears occurs at least three years after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates to 230 BBY. multiple buildings on Veek, including the home of Yesula and her father, caught on fire. Jedi Master Kelnacca and his Padawan, Yarzion Vell, rescued them, using the Force to protect them and at least two other individuals from the flames. Although she protested, Yesula's father carried her out and they both safely escaped. After the Jedi exited the building, they learned from Yesula that the droid Zeekay was still inside. Although Yesula's father told the Jedi it did not matter, Yesula stated that Zeekay had holos of her deceased mother in his databanks. After hearing this, Vell returned to the burning building and rescued Zeekay, reuniting him with Yesula. 
Vell then apologized to his Master for rescuing the droid, but Kelnacca immediately knighted him. Afterward, in another structure on Veek, Vell tattooed his own name on Kelnacca's head, as the Jedi Master wished to follow a tradition of Vell's home planet. By 133 BBY,"Day"—which the events of take place in 132 BBY per the reasoning here—establishes that Kelnacca had lived on Khofar for at least a year. As the present day events of The Acolyte - Kelnacca 1 occur before Kelnacca lived on Khofar, they must take place by 133 BBY. as Vell was dying, he mentioned Veek to his own Padawan, Ordea, while telling them about his training under Kelnacca.

Members of a sentient species with tan hair covering their bodies, including Yesula and her father, lived on Veek.
