Velusia, the planet where the Velusian species originated as their homeworld, was situated within the Velusia system. The Velusians inhabited the majority of the planet, excluding the volcanic atoll known as Kolo-ha. In the year 5 ABY, prominent figures from the New Republic, such as Chancellor Mon Mothma and Senator Leia Organa, journeyed to Velusia. Their purpose was to broker the surrender of Grand Vizier Mas Amedda. Furthermore, Velusia served as the habitat for the chomong, a species of aquatic sea life. The corpses of these chomong, which had become fossilized over time, formed a distinctive ring of glittering sediment along the shoreline of Kolo-ha.
