| - Oxossi is a garden world in the Osun System, first discovered and colonized by the salarians shortly after coming in first contact with the asari. Eventually, asari and salarians began to build civilizations on Oxossi with the resepective intentions of creating a scenic colony for civilians and a relaxing resort for the hardest of workers.
- Oxossi (also Oshosi, Ochosi, Ososi, Oxosi, or Osawsi) is both the Orisha of the forest and one of the three warrior orishas referred to as the "Ebora" in the Yoruba religion. He is a hunter, and his role as an often solitary figure in the wilderness lends him another role as a shaman. He is also connected with all hunter communities, and is often depicted as a friend or ally of both the caboclos and the nature spirits of the forests of Brazil. Oshosi is most important to the people of Brazil in Candomblé (a Latin American religion derived from the traditional spiritual practices of the Yoruba people of West Africa), as the Amazon Rainforest brings this element of him to the fore in Candomblé more than in its cousins, the island religions of Cuban Santeria and Haitian Voudoun.

| - Oxossi (also Oshosi, Ochosi, Ososi, Oxosi, or Osawsi) is both the Orisha of the forest and one of the three warrior orishas referred to as the "Ebora" in the Yoruba religion. He is a hunter, and his role as an often solitary figure in the wilderness lends him another role as a shaman. He is also connected with all hunter communities, and is often depicted as a friend or ally of both the caboclos and the nature spirits of the forests of Brazil. Oshosi is most important to the people of Brazil in Candomblé (a Latin American religion derived from the traditional spiritual practices of the Yoruba people of West Africa), as the Amazon Rainforest brings this element of him to the fore in Candomblé more than in its cousins, the island religions of Cuban Santeria and Haitian Voudoun. During the period in which the majority of the orisha venerators in Latin America were slaves to Catholic Europeans, Oshosi came to be identified with Saint Sebastian in the Rio de Janeiro area of Brazil. San Sebatian is most often shown in representations tied and shot full of arrows, which led to his association with the hunter orisha. He is alternately depicted as Saint George in the Bahia region, and in Cuba, he is identified with Saint Norbert. Oshosi is the patron justice and the hunt. As a master of all air attacks, he is prayed to when devotees are looking for swift justice from above. They also come to him in search of other things, a job or house for example. He is the patron of those who work with animals, dogs in particular, and is quite often supplicated when a wrong is done to an animal without cause.
- Oxossi is a garden world in the Osun System, first discovered and colonized by the salarians shortly after coming in first contact with the asari. Eventually, asari and salarians began to build civilizations on Oxossi with the resepective intentions of creating a scenic colony for civilians and a relaxing resort for the hardest of workers. With its abundant vegetation, cyan oceans, beaches that stretch for kilometers and a steadily warm climate throughout a single orbital year, Oxossi has rightfully earned its human-given nickname, "Planet Rio." Two years after humanity made their prescence known to the galaxy, tourism rates in Oxossi skyrocketed within a span of a few weeks. Oxossi is also known for the massive financial district present within its capital city, Meryl. For over fifty years, up to a thousand business magnates, of nearly every race, have either recieved their big break while working for one of Oxossi's many sales corporations, or have built their headquarters on the ever-expanding "Tycoon Strip," stapling themselves as among the best and the richest.
