Wilpiet was a terrestrial celestial body[3] located in the Wilpiet system, a part of the Cademimu sector[1] in the New Territories portion of[2] the Outer Rim Territories.[1] During the Galactic Civil War, the Rebel Alliance maintained a depot there. A group of Alliance operatives that used the Simiyiar-class light freighter Waterspire operated in Wilpiet's vicinity. Less than two months prior to[3] some point by 2 ABY,[4] the Kerestian bounty hunter Milacass stole the Waterspire from the Wilpiet depot, as a result becoming wanted for theft and destruction of Alliance property.[3]
Behind the scenes
Wilpiet was mentioned in Alliance Intelligence Reports, a 1995 sourcebook for West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[3] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas subsequently placed the Wilpiet system, and therefore the celestial body itself, in grid square M-6.[2]
