Planetary History

Star League

Oshika has long been a prefecture capital world. During the years of the Star League, large quantities of rare earths and germanium in the mountains caused a population boom above 4 billion people and a growth in industry. This led to a sizable Star League Defense Force garrison to secure the wealth of the world.[34]

Succession Wars

However, over the centuries, the mineral wealth of the world was mined out. As a result the world's cities and industry (what there is of it) are all geared towards the efficient running of the government. The capital city, Takadanobaba, is located in Oshika's only mountain range, the Trilby Mountains[2]. The DCMS headquarters is also located here, which means political power actually flows from the garrisoning military unit.[1]

The world has little to recommend it for colonization, as it's poor in natural resources and food production requires the import of chemical fertilizers. In 3025 several entrepreneurs tried to raise the Oshika Ox (a cross between an elephant and a cow) for commercial export. The Oshika Ox was already a popular foodstuff on Oshika, and exporting the animal seemed a logical next step.[1]

Jihad

In 3079 however, no mention was made of the success or failure of the Oshika Ox exporting venture in a review of the planet. It is known, however, that herders of the large Oshika Ox require WorkMechs to do their job effectively.[2]
