"Spent three months as wreckers on the fringes of the Celestial Wake, waylaying Mining Guild oreships."
―An excerpt from Tivoche Bilure's journal[3]

The Celestial Wake was a location in the Celestial Wake system, within the Kriz sector in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories[1] and Western Reaches,[2] in grid square K-19 on the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] By 10 BBY,[4] the criminal Tobias Beckett and his crew spent three months on the fringes of the Celestial Wake, waylaying Mining Guild oreships. When bartender Tivoche Bilure learned about Beckett's crew actions near the Celestial Wake, he wrote about them in his journal.[3]
