Veele

Veele is a fictional term used in speculative fiction and game design to denote a resource or conceptual state with energy- or information-bearing properties. As a cross-media concept, veele carries different meanings depending on the source, and there is no universally accepted definition.

Common portrayals depict veele as a pale, iridescent mineral mined from veinlike seams in rocks. Refined veele may power reactors or serve as a high-density data carrier for interstellar or advanced communications. In other works, veele functions as an abstract state in a puzzle or simulation, representing potential energy that becomes actualized when certain conditions are met.

In-world implications often focus on extraction ethics, resource monopolies, and regulatory frameworks, reflecting real-world concerns about rare materials. The term’s etymology is usually invented by creators, with no fixed linguistic origin. Because veele appears in multiple unrelated works, each uses the term within its own worldbuilding rules, leading to a lack of a single canonical description.
