The velker was a flying creature the size of a starfighter found on the planet Bespin.

It looked like a flying wing with eyes, a tail, and a mouth filled with razor sharp teeth. It could produce electrical energy fields to stun threats and its natural prey, beldons. Large groups would feed on a stunned beldon, shredding it to pieces as it fell. This feeding could take several days as the beldon fell towards the liquid-gas interface layer deep below the higher levels. The electrical fields can damage cloud cars that pass by them, and indeed velkers would occasionally attack small ships that came too near to them. Indeed there was one incident where a large pack of velkers attacked Cloud City, possibly mistaking it for a strange beldon, but such incidents were very rare.
