== Residency ==
A third of off-duty duty pilots,{{book ref|sky1|1}} overseers,{{book ref|sky1|13}}, and those who have gained high enough merit{{book ref|sky1|13}} live in the deep caverns. It is also possible for those who do not live in these caverns to attend school there.{{book ref|sky1|23}} The exact lineage makeup of those that reside in these caves is unknown, however, several of the more influential families are descended from the groups who mutinied aboard the [[Defiant]] before it crashed on Detritus.{{book ref|sky1|i2}}
 
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,{{book ref|sky1|48}} are stored in the deep caverns and can be retrieved in an emergency, however, there is 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, however, provides a measure of security for the people in the Defiant League in the scenario where Alta and Igneous are destroyed by the [[Krell]].{{book ref|sky1|31}}{{book ref|sky1|32}}
