=== Planetary History ===
 
====Early Years====
 
====Early Years====
Ozawa was settled during the [[Exodus (2242)|first Exodus]] from [[Terra]] by mostly Japanese colonists that fell in love with its rough but beautiful weather conditions. The world's rise began with the discovery of a large deposit of industrial metals which turned the planet into a major manufacturing center. At the time of the [[Star League]] the world was known for its high-tech electronics and with [[Diplan 'Mechyards]] the home of an important producer of [[BattleMechs]] for the [[Star League Defense Force]]. Furthermore the League built the city of Prosperity as a financial hub for the whole Federated Suns member state. But although it was highly industrialized the people of Ozawa ensured that the environment was not damaged at all.

But although it was highly industrialized the people of Ozawa ensured that the environment was not damaged at all.
  
====Star League Era====

==== Star League Era ====
Between the fall of the [[Amaris Empire]] and the [[Operation Exodus|Exodus]] a number of [[Terran Hegemony]] worlds were annexed by the various Houses; Ozawa was one of those, annexed in [[2783]] by the Federated Suns.<ref name="H:LoTV2p118"/>

====Succession Wars====
 
====Succession Wars====
All the effort should prove to be futile. When the Hegemony fell apart, Ozawa's importance and position between three houses led to fierce battles over its possession. When the [[Federated Suns]] were about to conquer the planet during the [[Second Succession War]] the Draconis Combine denied [[House Davion]] the ultimate prize by destroying its valuable BattleMech factory together with the city of Prosperity and a good portion of its surface in a nuclear inferno. But its rich resources could not be destroyed and therefore the ravaged world of Ozawa was still an important industrial world to House Davion.

The [[Fifth Sword of Light]]'s invasion of Ozawa crushed most of the [[Ozawa Urban Defense Brigade]].

In the early 3130s, [[Izzel Devries]], of the ruling [[House Devries]], organized searches for military salvage on Ozawa in an effort to arm local forces. His chief archeologist, [[Thel]], found multiple usable BattleMechs. On one dig, circa [[3132]], Thel was attacked by a neo-Blakist scavenger gang. An accidental detonation during the battle led to the discovery of a salvageable ''[[Grasshopper]]''.<ref name=FtF>''Field to Field''</ref>

=== Geography ===
Though a world of extreme weather and tide conditions caused by its large moon, Ozawa had once been a very beautiful world. But the intense fighting of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] and the massive use of nuclear weapons turned the planet into a devastated and contaminated wasteland. Although the world recently shows signs of recovery Ozawa is still plagued by horrific lightning storms and at some places the radiation level is still lethal. Of its five continents—Sendai, Niigata, Todoga, Muroran, and Kushiro—only Todoga and Kushiro are populated more densely. There the people live in domed cities far away from the hot zones.<ref name=DARW61/>

But the intense fighting of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] and the massive use of nuclear weapons turned the planet into a devastated and contaminated wasteland. Although the world recently shows signs of recovery Ozawa is still plagued by horrific lightning storms and at some places the radiation level is still lethal. Of its five continents – Sendai, Niigata, Todoga, Muroran, and Kushiro – only Todoga and Kushiro are populated more densely. There the people live in domed cities far away from the hot zones.
  
Despite all this Ozawa's large deposit of important industrial metals still ensures a strong industrialization. The planetary capital of Sapporo is located in the area of Lake Washington on Kushiro and Todoga is home to [[Wunderland Enterprises]].<ref name=DARW61/>
