The Celestial series was a series of OmniMechs produced by the Word of Blake. Developed in secret by Doctor Devon Cortland (aka Precentor Vapula) and unleashed without warning in 3069[1] during the Blakists' Jihad, the Celestials mate OmniPod technology with some of the most advanced armor, chassis and fusion engine technology that the Inner Sphere could produce in the late 3060s. Besides shared aesthetic elements, each 'Mech in the main series features the inclusion of a Small Cockpit and a fixed C3i Computer. As denoted by the use of a small cockpit, the Celestials were primarily intended to be used by the Blakist's cybernetically enhanced Manei Domini shock troops, who field the lions' share of the produced 'Mechs.

The Celestials are:
