===Planetary History===

====Star League====
 
−
Oshika has long been a prefecture capital world. During the [[Star League]] era, the presence of large quantities of rare earths and germanium in its mountain ranges saw the planet's population grow to over 4 billion, with advanced industries present.  This led to a sizable [[Star League Defense Force]] garrison being stationed on the world to secure its wealth.<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 185: "326th BattleMech Division"</ref>

====Succession Wars====

Oshika's mineral wealth would not last forever. As resources ran dry, the world's remaining cities and industries were geared towards the efficient running of the government. The capital city, Takadanobaba, is located in Oshika's only mountain range, the Trilby Mountains.<ref name=O:DCp32/> The [[DCMS]] headquarters is also located here, which means political power would largely flow from the garrisoning military unit.<ref name=HKp182/>

The world has little incentive to attract additional population. Poor 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.<ref name=HKp182/>

By 3025, the planet had become the regimental headquarters for the [[16th Galedon Regulars|Sixteenth Galedon Regulars]]. [[General]] [[Francisco Bevier]] would be in ''de facto'' control of the planet.<ref name=HKDCp182/>
+
===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<ref name=O:DCp32/>. The [[DCMS]] headquarters is also located here, which means political power actually flows from the garrisoning military unit.<ref name=HKp182/>

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.<ref name=HKp182/>

 +
Also, by 3025, the planet was also the regimental headquarters for the 16th Galedon Regulars. That meant that [[General]] [[Francisco Bevier]] was the real source of political power on the planet.<ref name=HKDCp182/>

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 [[WorkMech]]s to do their job effectively.<ref name=O:DCp32/>
