The Velber (ヴェルバー, Verubā?) is an alien threat that appears within the Milky Way every 14,000 years. "Velber" is the name of the predatory Umbral Star (捕食遊星, Hoshoku Yūsei?), also known as the Harvest Star (収穫の星, Shūkaku no Hoshi?).[1]
The Umbral Star travels the galaxy, and when it detects sentient life it creates Anti-Cells and sends them to destroy and devour them. It destroys all intelligent civilizations in its path, and in doing so, it consumes all digital data within reach.[1]
The last time it passed through Earth's orbit, it annihilated virtually all sentient life on the planet, and plundered 80% of the Moon Cell's data. It is thought to be a product of the same alien civilization that created the Moon Cell, although its form and purpose are obviously very different. The true motive of the Umbral Star remains unclear, but during its previous attack on Earth, the Moon Cell did get a chance to analyze its structure.[1]
Within Velber is a central part that could be considered its core, surrounded by layers of armor made of numerous "Arks of the Stars," individual space vessels. If one considers the main body of Velber to be its central core, the surrounding portions are its self-made invasion weapons. Each layer of armor has its own distinct means of annihilating civilizations. Velber's form strikes an optimal balance between offense and defense, and it has utilized that balance to wage victorious war against all sentient life in its path for eons.[1]
The Ark of the Stars that carried the "White Titan" Altera to Earth was only one of three Arks that came to Earth in the previous cycle. The other two, the "Big Brother" and "Little Sister" of Altera, are not mentioned in Fate/Extella.[1]

"Velber" is the name of the predatory Umbral Star, also known as the Harvest Star. Like a comet, it flies on a set orbit through space, passing through the Milky Way galaxy once every 14,000 Earth years.
Its appearance resembles a crying eye.

捕食遊星。収穫の星（ハーヴェストスター）。一万四千年周期で天の川銀河に現れる葺星。
その姿は「涙する目」のように見える。
通過の際、知的生命体の文明を破壊する。
地球にも一度通過しており、その時はムーンセルの八割のデータを破壊していった。
ムーンセルを作った異星文明人たちが残した、違うタイプの観測装置だと言われている。
その目的はいまだ判明していないが、構造自体は渦去の捕食の際、ムーンセルに解析されている。
ヴェルバーには中心核とも言える遊星部分があり、その周囲を複数の星舟が覆っている。星舟を重ねて作ったアーマーを着こんでいる……とイメージすると分かりやすい。
中心にある核をヴェルバーの本体だとすると、その周囲を囲む遊星部分はヴェルバーによって作られた様々な侵略兵器――――様々な侵略方法（文明）を持つ複合星舟装甲と言える。
この姿こそ、様々な文明を捕食してきたヴェルバーによる自衛・侵略の最適解なのだろう。
「白い巨神」であるアルテラは一万四千年前に太陽系に落ちた三つの星舟の一つにすぎない。
残り二つ、アルテラにとっての「兄」と「妹」と呼べるものは本作では語られない。
