The planet itself is inhabited and is replete with mineral deposits, overrun with vegetation (although its edibility is unknown) and contains veins of [[tylium (TOS)\|tylium]] of high purity, more so than anything the Colonials themselves used since their exodus.<ref name="ARM5">{{cite book/RH\|1\|5}}</ref> Long-range scans indicate that Ochoa possesses massive clusters of lifeforms in hundreds of locations, as well as one enormous technological or industrial center.<ref name="ARM5" />

	[[Category: A to Z]]		Captain [[Starbuck (TOS-RH)\|Starbuck]] and Lieutenant Commander [[Apollo (TOS-RH)\|Apollo]] conduct a reconnaissance mission to Ochoa just prior to Commander [[Adama (TOS-RH)\|Adama]]'s natural death.<ref name="ARM1" /> During their approach, they discover their scanners are being jammed by a technological installation on the planet's surface. The jamming signal originates from a techno center near the farther of Ochoa's rotational axes.<ref name="ARM5" />
	[[Category: Books (Richard Hatch)]]
	[[Category: Planets]]		Apollo senses danger and familiarity, believing that whoever is on the planet knows them. His suspicions prove correct when laser blasts erupt around their Vipers as they approach the surface.<ref name="ARM6">{{cite book/RH\|1\|6}}</ref>
	[[Category: TOS]]
			==Cylon Presence==

			The [[Cylon (TOS-RH)\|Cylons]], which [[The Fleet (TOS-RH)\|the Fleet]] has not encountered in six [[yahren]], maintain a significant presence on Ochoa. During their recon patrol, Starbuck and Apollo engage [[Battle of Ochoa\|in battle with Cylon forces]] near the planet.<ref name="ARM6" />

			[[Lucifer (TOS-RH)\|Lucifer]] later informs [[Baltar (TOS-RH)\|Baltar]] that Ochoa is in the process of being evacuated.<ref name="ARM26">{{cite book/RH\|1\|26}}</ref> The [[base star]] commanded by Baltar is positioned close to the Binary 13 system during this period.<ref name="ARM178">{{cite book/RH\|1\|178}}</ref>

			==Planetary Instability==

			Due to the gravitational pull from its two stars, Ochoa is in the process of being torn apart, although this instability is not initially detected during the Colonials' reconnaissance mission.<ref name="ARM1" /> Despite initial seismic readings showing zero-zero stability, Starbuck expresses concerns about landing on a planet that could enter a cycle of geological upheavals at any time.<ref name="ARM1" />

			These fears prove well-founded. During Apollo and Starbuck's time on the surface, the planet experiences increasingly severe seismic activity. What begins as minor tremors escalates into catastrophic geological upheaval, with mountains convulsing and entire mountainsides sliding away into rifts that split the terrain. The ground heaves continuously, with gouts of fire arcing into the air from gashes scarring the surface. Apollo and Starbuck narrowly escape in their Viper as the planet tears itself apart.<ref name="ARM181">{{cite book/RH\|1\|181}}</ref>
