USS Enterprise-D in orbit of Veridian III

Veridian III orbiting the Veridian star

Veridian was the primary star of the Veridian system in the Beta Quadrant, located not far from Amargosa.

In 2371, Dr. Tolian Soran tried to collapse the star using his trilithium weapon, which would have changed the course of the Nexus ribbon to intersect Veridian III. In one alternate timeline, he succeeded and the entire Veridian system was annihilated by the resultant shock wave. However, this timeline was subsequently changed by Captains Jean-Luc Picard and James T. Kirk, who were able to stop Soran. The Veridian system was scanned by the USS Enterprise-D to determine the impact of the star's impending destruction, and Data found that the fourth planet in the Veridian system was host to a pre-industrial sentient species. (Star Trek Generations)

According to the Star Trek: Star Charts, on page 65, Veridian was classified as a Class G star. It had a magnitude of -5, which was 10,000 times brighter than Sol. This star was located in the Beta Quadrant.
