It’s possible that the knowledge was lost even then. That was during the second human war right?

Crazy thought just came to me. What if Detritus is actually Earth's moon. I don't know the timeline when Earth mysteriously disappeared but the tech for Detritus was from before the human wars and no-one knows where it came from. It kind of fits together in my head.

Unless there's some shenanigans with the debris shields and gravity, I think Detritus has too much mass to be Earth's moon. Would be kind of cool though.

I agree with you that there needs to be some kind of shenanigans happening.

We know they can manipulate gravity as the superiority ships have false gravity. We also know they can create and manipulate atmospheric pressure as seen in/on starlight.

So besides the "mass" I believe it is plausible that they "terraformed" the moon into Detritus.

[king of nowhere]

but it would require a lot of terraforming, for little gain.

if they have that kind of technology, even just in the solar system, mercury would be a much better candidate for detritus; moon-like, but significantly bigger.

Also, while they can manipulate gravity, doing it continuously on a planetary scale must be super duper expensive. The galaxy is full of rocky planets and planetoids that would make better candidates.

[Wolf Brother]

It could also have been one of their first attempts at terraforming as Detritus is not that hospitable. The moon being the closest and easiest celestial object to reach from earth could play into why they would choose the moon over better candidates. 

Also turning your moon into a defensive weapon while also making it habitable would be something they would be willing to spend lots of money on.

I guess it could be because delvers are cytonic and could track them anyway(This is just me trying to find an explanation no matter how much I have to scramble so don't take this too seriously)

[Boomslug he/him]

Spensa is going to have to be caught up on a LOT of stuff, like exploding slugs, Jorgen being a machine of death, and the planet practically being cytonic.
