The Wells were a location in the Akkadese Maelstrom, a region[3] of the Outer Rim Territories[1] and the Slice[2] that consisted of ionized gas, dust clouds, water vapor, ammonia, carbonbergs, and gravity wells.[4] The Wells were situated near the hyperspace route known as the Channel that connected the interior of the Akkadese Maelstrom with the wider galaxy.[3] At some point between 10 BBY and approximately 1 ABY,[5] the barkeep known as Midnight included a map of the Akkadese Maelstrom with the Wells featured on it in a book they were writing.[3]
Behind the scenes
The Wells were mentioned in the 2018 book Solo: A Star Wars Story: Tales from Vandor, authored by Jason Fry and illustrated by Sam Gilbey.[3]

- ↑ Solo: A Star Wars Story: Tales from Vandor is presented as an in-universe book written by Midnight that mentions Lando Calrissian losing the Millennium Falcon to Han Solo in a game of sabacc and that is also set prior to the former becoming the Baron Administrator of Cloud City. Star Wars: Timelines dates the sabacc game between Calrissian and Solo to 10 BBY. Additionally, Calrissian becomes Baron Administrator at some point after the flashback events of Halcyon Legacy 4 and years prior to the events of The Empire Strikes Back: So You Want to Be a Jedi?, which Timelines dates to approximately 1 ABY and 3 ABY, respectively. Therefore, Midnight's book must have been authored at some point between 10 BBY and approximately 1 ABY.
