TeV emission is a key diagnostic of physical processes occurring in a variety of compact Galactic objects. Measurement of the TeV spectra from inverse-Compton emission in pulsar-powered nebulae should permit determination of the nebular magnetic fields. Observation of TeV gamma-rays from Galactic superluminal jet sources may lead to clues about the jet production mechanism. And, observation of TeV gamma-rays from unidentified EGRET gamma-ray sources should permit accurate localization and may lead to identification of unique x-ray and optical counterparts. We discuss observations of Galactic sources planned for VERITAS including a survey of a well-populated region of Galactic plane.
