AI Overview
Compiled by AI from community sources — may be incomplete or inaccurate; verify before relying on it.
The Oshi is a small bioluminescent jellyfish from the ocean world Noble in the Ellis system, best known as a collectible "fish" you stock in a player Fish Tank rather than a creature you hunt in the wild.
Appearance
The Oshi is a small, bioluminescent jellyfish. It is described as a smaller cousin of a larger deep-sea bioluminescent species, so it carries the same glowing, light-emitting quality associated with deep-ocean fauna. Within the game it exists as a decorative aquarium organism that gives off its own soft light inside the Fish Tank.

Behavior & temperament
The Oshi is passive and non-threatening. It is not a combat or open-world spawn creature; it lives entirely as an ornamental aquarium species kept in the player's Fish Tank. Lore notes that the species has only recently adapted to the lighter pressure nearer the surface of Noble's oceans, having migrated up from much deeper, higher-pressure waters.
Where to find
In lore the Oshi is native to Noble, the third populated planet in the Ellis system. Noble is a mid-sized, largely preserved forest/ocean world with vast oceans, and corporate preservation rules keep most of its surface untouched; the Oshi inhabits the upper layers of those oceans. As a gameplay item, the Oshi is not a wild huntable creature — it is acquired as a stock fish for the Fish Tank decoration. It was originally sold through Voyager Direct, the in-fiction online storefront that was retired around Alpha 3.2, so it is a legacy/collection item rather than something currently bought at a live in-game kiosk.

Variants & subspecies
There is no documented subspecies of the Oshi itself, but it sits within the broader Fish Tank "fish" collection alongside other collectible species, e.g. the Menarik (Xi'An Empire origin), the Midas Fish (rare gold variety from Cassel), the Ribbon Fish (blue/orange pairs), the Vindel (a cleaner fish), and the Thorsu Grey (colder Terra regions). Buying the Oshi grants an entire school rather than a single specimen.

Loot & drops
The Oshi has no combat loot or aUEC drop table because it is not a huntable creature. Its only "value" is as a purchasable collectible: it was sold on Voyager Direct as a hangar decoration for 1,000 UEC. The in-game item record lists it as a Souvenir/Flair with a volume of roughly 1 μSCU, with no current live sale price recorded.
Lore & discovery
The Oshi is part of the Fish Tank fauna lore: a deep-sea bioluminescent lineage from Noble's oceans whose smaller cousin (the Oshi) only recently adapted to the lower pressure of the shallower, near-surface waters. It was added to the game economy as a Voyager Direct fishtank stock item (Voyager Direct launched 31 August 2013 and was later retired around Alpha 3.2). It is therefore "in-game" as a collectible aquarium item rather than as a roaming creature; there is no standalone RSI Galactapedia article delivering additional in-fiction lore beyond the wiki/store descriptions.

Trivia
- "Oshi" shares a naming family with the Oso system / Osoian and other "Os-" names in the setting, but the creature is specifically tied to Noble in the Ellis system, not Oso. - Purchasing the Oshi adds a whole school to the tank, so a single buy populates the aquarium with multiple glowing jellyfish. - It belongs to the same hangar-flair collection as the Fishtank Mk I (which historically shipped with a Menarik fish).
