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.Template:Skyward ref Since landing, the planet has become a prison for humans.Template:Skyward ref 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.[1]
