The '''deep caverns''' are a subset of the [[United Defiant Caverns]] that are below [[Alta Base]] on [[Detritus]].{{map ref|United Defiant Caverns}}
== Location and Ecology ==
A number of connected caves, including [[Highway Cavern]], make up the deep caverns. They are considered safer than [[Igneous]], due to their distance from the surface.{{map ref|United Defiant Caverns}}{{book ref|sky1|13}} They could possibly withstand a [[lifebuster]] bomb being dropped on [[Alta Base]]; however, this is not a guarantee and a lifebuster could potentially cause them to collapse.{{book ref|Sky1|10}}{{book ref|Sky1|13}}
It is possible to travel from Alta Base to the deep caverns in less than five minutes,{{book ref|sky1|52}} although the journey normally takes closer to fifteen.{{book ref|sky1|15}} Scouts from the protein factories hunt for rats in the deep caverns.{{book ref|sky1|31}}
A large colony of [[Taynix|taynix slugs]] live in within the deep caverns. It is unclear if there is a single group of this species that congregate in the same section of the cave system, or whether the taynix can be found hidden in different pockets of the larger network of tunnels. Those with [[cytonic]] abilities are able to perceive the slugs from the settlements built within the lower caverns.{{book ref|sky2|i|2}}{{book ref|sky2|epilogue}}
