Detritus is a once-abandoned planet surrounded in a multi-layer artificial shell. It is home to the descendants of the crew of the 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.[1] Since landing, the planet has become a prison for humans.[2] 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.[3]

The planet was inhabited by other humans before, though it wasn't called Detritus during that time.[4]

Detritus is smaller than Earth.[3] It is a blue-grey color.[5] The planet does not have any oceans.[6]

The rats inhabiting the caverns are not native, and were there before the Defiants crashed on it.[4]
