St Oscar's University
Type:	University
Location:	Dellah
First appearance:	Oh No It Isn't!
Appearances:	PROSE: Dry Pilgrimage PROSE: The Mary-Sue Extrusion

St Oscar's University was located on the planet Dellah. It was one of the most prestigious centres of learning in the Milky Way. It was set up by the Sultan of Tashwari to remove the planet Dellah from the theatre of a war which threatened that sector of the galaxy. (PROSE: Oh No It Isn't!)

It had a campus with nine colleges. It was built on a chain of hilly islands in Dellah's northern hemisphere. Travel between islands was provided by undersea tunnels. (PROSE: Dry Pilgrimage) St. Oscar's University had its own (in fact Dellah's first and only) spaceport, on the northernmost island. The spaceport disrupted weather patterns on Dellah, dramatically increasing precipitation. (PROSE: Oh No It Isn't!, The Mary-Sue Extrusion) It also had a sea port on the southernmost island, where it kept a dedicated ship, the Lady of Lorelei. (PROSE: Dry Pilgrimage)
