The Kevalu was a Cardassian scoutship. The vessel was commanded by Dalin Malyn Ocett.
In 2345, the Kevalu was on a patrol of the B'hava'el star system when it detected a Bajoran vessel trying to escape the system through the Denorios Belt. The Kevalu pursued the vessel and destroyed it when the Bajorans aboard refused to surrender. The Kevalu shortly after detected a cargo container in space, which contained Odo. Ocett ordered the container to be brought onboard. (ST - Terok Nor novel: Night of the Wolves)
