St Oscar's University

St Oscar's University, also known as the University of St Oscar's, (PROSE: The Mary-Sue Extrusion) Dellah University (PROSE: Ghost Devices) or the University of Dellah, (PROSE: Where Angels Fear) 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 that 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 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)
