Deep

__NOTOC__
This page is for the planet. For the region of human space, see The Deep.
Deep is a planet in the Kornephoros system. It is initially controlled by the Republic but becomes part of the Free Worlds when they declare independence.
== Description ==
Deep is a sparsely populated world of small island archipelagos surrounded by vast expanses of empty ocean. There is not enough land for any large cities or serious industry to emerge, so most of the inhabitants live in small fishing villages. The climate is temperate and Earth-like, but the sunlight is somewhat dimmer than you are used to.
The fishing settlements are actually the second colonization attempt on this planet. In the early days of hyperspace travel the Kingsburg Corporation sent out what was then one of the largest and most technologically advanced colonization fleets, penetrating deep into the then-unexplored southern galactic rim. After two centuries of sporadic and guarded contact, the colony fell silent, and when human expansion finally reached this area again, no trace of the original colony was found.
== Spaceport ==
This is the spaceport description at the start of the game.
The spaceport is built on a large island, a now-extinct volcano with an elevation of several kilometers at its center. Most of the large-scale fishing here is done by a single company, Poseidon Industries, which also built and maintains the spaceport. Steep winding roads and sturdy concrete homes and warehouses line the mountain slopes, and below you in the harbor several massive trawling vessels are moored. On the outskirts of the spaceport are the ramshackle houses and open-air marketplace used by the smaller, independent fishing families.
==== During Navy Occupation in the Free Worlds campaign ====
There are hundreds of Navy officers patrolling this small spaceport, looking for any signs of local resistance.
