Karab zantai-Velai was a Klingon man of the linename Velai in the late 23rd century.

Although Karab came from the reputable Velai linename, some little-known scandal forced him to be posted to the undesired military base of Kelm, where he served as military governor. There, Karab was widely considered completely corrupt and a terrible administrator (FASA RPG module: The Orions: Book of Common Knowledge).
