The Veld family, while one cannot say is one of Star Fleet's oldest, does date back over 150 years and has emerged as one of Star Fleet's most prominent. Cayle's great-great-grandfather was none other than Johnathan "Jack" Veld, who made his bones as Captain of the USS ''Constellation''; her grandfather, Charles, retired a Vice Admiral; her father, Conrad, is the current-serving Commander of Star Fleet Operations. Cayle's mother, Melinda, also served in Star Fleet until her marriage to Conrad; retiring eliminated the question of a personal conflict coming into play while the then-CAPT Conrad Veld was CO of USS | The Veld family, while one cannot say is one of Star Fleet's oldest, does date back over 150 years and has emerged as one of Star Fleet's most prominent.

Cayle is also the goddaughter of ADM John R. Brooks, former CINCSF and current CINCBLUE. The Brooks and Veld families have enjoyed a closeness since the days when the elder Veld was a midshipman in the Academy.

Over the years, the Velds have also forged a close bond with the Sharpe family, another of Star Fleet's more prominent families. This bond, however, does not date back 40+ years as the Veld/Brooks friendship does; this one began when Cayle was assigned to DS13 as XO and befriended a young Marine CO fresh out of the Academy, then-2LT Molly sharpe. Shortly thtereafter, Conrad chose Molly's father, then-COL Richard Sharpe, as his Deputy Commander of Public Affairs. Since that time, the families have grown almost as close as blood relatives. Though she might not admit it, Cayle does think of Molly as the sister she never had. | Over the years, the Velds have also forged a close bond with the Sharpe family, another of Star Fleet's more prominent families.
