St Oscar's University

St. Oscar's University was located on the planet Dellah, and 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 war which was a possibility in that sector of the galaxy. (BNA: Oh No It Isn't!)

It has a campus of nine colleges, built on a chain of hilly islands in Dellah's northern hemisphere. St. Oscar's University also has its own (and in fact Dellah's first and only) spaceport on the northernmost island, a space needle which disrupted the weather patterns on Dellah, dramatically increasing the amount of precipitation. (BNA: Oh No It Isn't!, The Mary-Sue Extrusion) The university also has a seaport, located on the southernmost island, where it keeps a dedicated ship, the Lady of Lorelei. (BNA: Dry Pilgrimage')
