Dellah was an M-type (Earth-like) planet orbiting a single star. It had no moons. It had temperate seas of roughly the same composition as those on Earth. (BNA: Ship of Fools) Dellah was mostly covered by temperate oceans and dotted with islands. Its largest body of water, the Silvasic Sea, took up most of the temperate zone (between 23.5°S and 66.5°S) in Dellah's southern hemisphere. (BNA: Dry Pilgrimage) A day on Dellah was 26 hours long. (BNA: Mean Streets)
Known landmasses
- The Marek Dha landmass and an associated island chain, called the Marek Dha islands. These islands, many of them private, were dotted with luxurious homes for the very very wealthy, such as industrialist Marcus Krytell. (BNA: Ship of Fools)
- Chain of several hilly islands in the northern hemisphere, home to St. Oscar's University and Dellah's only spaceport. (BNA: Oh No It Isn't!)
History
St. Oscar's University was set up by the Sultan of Tashwari to remove the planet Dellah from the theatre of war. (BNA: Oh No It Isn't!) Bernice Summerfield joined the university in 2593. (NA: The Dying Days)
