It is home to the descendants of the crew of the [[Defiant (starship)|Defiant]], one of the last surviving human spaceships. Chased through space by the alliance of aliens opposed to human conquest, [[Spensa's great-grandmother]] guided the Defiant onto Detritus as her dying act.{{book ref|skyward|45}} Since landing, the planet has become a prison for humans.{{book ref|skyward|Epilogue}} The population of the ''Defiant'' and its fleet have been trapped on the planet for seventy five years.{{book ref|sky1|epilogue}} Most of the population is gathered in the caverns near the initial landing site of the fleet, though there are enclaves all over the planet.{{wob ref|11278}}

Detritus's rubbledebris beltfield has old guns that still are still functional and will shoot down any large ship that gets too close, making it so that only small, maneuverable ships can get through. The shielding was known to interfere with communication, though it is unknown if this refers to [[Cytonics|cytonic]] messages or normal radio signals, as well.{{book ref|skyward|27}}
