Veldin
From Ratchet & Clank wiki
Veldin was mainly a desert planet with some rocky terrain. It only has a few large bodies of water. It also has quite a few quite high tech buildings built into the features. Although it hosts a relatively small population, it is large enough that it became an important target for the enemy in Up Your Arsenal. In Up Your Arsenal, it seems Veldin is a bit more advanced as the buildings are more high-tech.

[edit] History
[edit] Ratchet and Clank
The Lombax Ratchet lived in his "house" on Veldin until a small android nicknamed "Clank" by Ratchet crash lands on the Kyzil Plateau. Ratchet then travels across the plateau while fighting multiple enemies in order to find Clank. Ratchet finds him and they set off on an adventure, leaving Veldin behind. Later on the pair would find themselves back on Veldin as it occupied the perfect orbit for Chairman Drek's new planet. Drek tried to use his Deplanetizer to destroy Veldin, but he was killed by Ratchet. Veldin was going to be destroyed live on Blarg TV and it showed Drek standing in front of Ratchet's Garage in the advertisement. When Ratchet and Clank arrived at Kyzil Plateau, it was covered with elite Blarg guards. Ratchet went along the same path he went on to find Clank and went on beyond the crash site. Eventually, they found Drek in his Ultimate Supreme Executive Chairman Drek-Mech and battled him. They eventually got to the top of Drek's Deplantizer where the button was pressed to destroy Veldin. Ratchet and Clank then stopped it and defeated Drek by making the Deplanetizer flip around and destroy Drek's planet. The two then went on to live in Ratchet's home and frequently watch TV and play video games while lounging on chairs. Ratchet carries out his mechanical projects there alongside Clank.
[edit] Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando
Ratchet and Clank are still living in Ratchet's Garage after Drek's defeat. They were doing an interview for Behind the Hero when they were transported to the Bogon Galaxy by Megacorp CEO Abercrombie Fizzwidget.
[edit] Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
At the beginning of the game, Veldin is under attack from Tyhrranoid forces. Ratchet and Clank see what's happening on Veldin in a news report during their stay in the Bogon Galaxy. They fly back to the Solana Galaxy and arrive to assist the Galactic Rangers in defeating the Tyhrranoids. They arrive at Kyzil Plateau once again, and they proceed to eradicate the Tyhrranoid invaders. They then come to Ratchet's Garage, which has been destroyed due to enemy bombings. The pair then board a dropship and arrive at F Sector, where they defeat the Tyhrranoid commanders. After being consulted on the situation by the Galactic President, they eventually leave for Florana.
Near the end of the game, when Ratchet has to save the Starship Phoenix from an attack launched by Dr. Nefarious, he learns that Nefarious is intent on using his Biobliterator to turn Veldin's population into robots. Angered at this news, Ratchet took on Dr. Nefarious and was eventually successful in destroying both Biobliterators on Koros and Mylon. Veldin was unharmed during these final battles. It is unknown what happened to Veldin after the Tyhrranoid attack since it was not seen again afterwards. Presumably, the damage is being repaired.
