“—Si al final todo se reduce a destruir Alta pero salvar Ígnea, Ígnea es más importante. No por nada enviamos una rotación de un tercio de nuestras naves, pilotos y altos mandos a las cavernas profundas. Quizá la FDD pueda sobrevivir si Alta cae. Pero sin el aparataje para construir naves nuevas, estamos acabados. De modo que, si la almirante lo ordena, tendréis que disparar a la bomba y detonarla, aunque al hacerlo destruyáis Alta. ”

—Cobb sobre la importancia de Ígnea y las cavernas inferiores para la supervivencia de la FDD.[1]

The deep caverns are a subset of the United Defiant Caverns that are below Alta Base on Detritus.{{map ref|Las cavernas inferiores son un subconjunto de las Cavernas Unidas Desafiantes que están debajo de la Base Alta en Detritus.[2]

Ubicación y ecología

Una serie de cuevas conectadas, incluyendo la Caverna Autopista, conforman las cavernas inferiores. Se consideran más seguras que Ígnea, debido a su distancia de la superficie.[2][3] Posiblemente podrían resistir el lanzamiento de una bomba aniquiladora sobre la Base Alta; sin embargo, esto no es una garantía y una bomba aniquiladora podría provocar su colapso.[4][3] Además, las cavernas no sobrevivirían a un bombardeo orbital que destruiría la totalidad de las Cavernas Unidas Desafiantes si tuviera éxito.[5]

Es posible viajar desde la Base Alta hasta las cavernas inferiores en menos de cinco minutos,[6] aunque el viaje suele durar unos quince.[7] Exploradores de las fábricas de proteínas cazan ratas en las cavernas inferiores.[1]

En el interior de las cavernas inferiores vive una gran colonia de babosas taynix. No está claro si hay un único grupo de esta especie que se congrega en la misma sección del sistema de cuevas, o si los taynix se pueden encontrar escondidos en diferentes puntos de la gran red de túneles. Aquellos con habilidades citónicas son capaces de percibir a las babosas desde los asentamientos construidos en el interior de las cavernas inferiores.[8][9]

Política

“We host the admiral once a week for formal dinner at my parents’ house in the lower caverns. It’s only slightly worse than the other nights, when the National Assembly Leaders visit.”

—Jorgen on the political interactions that he is involved in while at home[10]

The government of the United Defiant Caverns can be found within the deep caverns, and is presumably made up from the wealthy families that call the caverns their home.[11] There is animosity between the NAL and DDF, with the former being overly critical of Ironsides' leadership and decisions, and the latter, frustrated with the lack of proper support provided by the government.[12] Despite this friction, Ironsides attends a formal dinner with NAL Algernon Weight and his family once a week.[10]

Although several families that live in the deep caverns, with at least one containing a member of the NAL, own private fighter jets, these ships are unlikely to ever be willingly lent to the DDF in an emergency.[13] Instead, these private ships are a means of escape for the family that owns them, and use by the DDF, especially during a crisis, poses too much risk for the owners.[13] Eight private ships are currently stored in the deep caverns, with three belonging to the Mendez family.[14][15] These ships are also used as escorts during trade runs.[15] The piloting jobs for these operations are highly competed-for and usually filled by retired DDF pilots.[15]

Cytonics

The existence of cytonics is a contentious matter that is disputed by several members of the deep caverns, including some who are part of the NAL.[16] Some of the more prominent families that live in the caverns may have a family history of cytonic users, and are thus particularly active in suppressing knowledge of the defect.[16] Although Ironsides' provides these dissenters with data collected on Spensa, they remain resistant to claims of the defect's existence.[16] Denial of the defect by these families likely became much harder following the Second Battle of Alta, due to Spensa's use of her abilities to save Alta Base and the United Defiant Caverns from destruction.

Culture

People who live in the deep caverns often wear more formal and business-like clothing,[3] have a faint accent,[4] and are cleaner than those who live in Igneous or at Alta Base.[3] Children from wealthy government families are sent to Flight School to be trained as pilots, as well as gather recognition and respect from their peers.[11] This provides a good foundation for them to move into government roles, with parents pulling their children from the DDF after they have served a certain portion of time as full pilots.[11]

Formal dinners and balls are hosted amongst the elite in the deep cavern.[10][17]

Disputers

“I figure, if I become a famous pilot, I can speak for the little guys, you know? I’m more likely to be able to change things here than down in the deep caverns, wearing ball gowns and sitting primly next to my sisters. ”

—FM commenting on the ingrained culture of the deep caverns and her motivations for becoming a pilot.[17]

The Disputers movement has gained traction, and may have started, in the deep caverns.[18] The safer nature of the caverns likely contributes to the Disputers' belief that the Defiant League should become less militaristic.[18] Despite their growing presence in the deep caverns, it is likely difficult for them to disrupt the culture of the upper class.[17]

Residency

A third of off-duty duty pilots,[19] overseers,[3] and those who have gained high enough merit[3] live in the deep caverns. It is also possible for those who do not live in them to attend school there.[20] The exact lineage of those that reside in these caves is unknown, although several of the more influential families are descended from the groups who mutinied aboard the Defiant before it crashed on Detritus.[16]

The command staff of the DDF, as well as DDF ships, are rotated through the deep caverns, with a third of each being located in the deep caverns at any one time. Four flights of ships, ideally with ten jets per flight, are stored in the deep caverns and can be retrieved in an emergency.[13] There is, however, a significant delay in the time it takes for them to be ready to engage due to transportation time. This limits the DDF's response force in battle and impedes calls for reinforcements. On the other hand, it also provides a measure of security for the people in the Defiant League in a scenario where Alta and Igneous are destroyed by the Krell.[1][21]
