'''Deep City''' is the shadowy, crime-ridden underbelly of '''[[~~Malikai~~ III]]''', an [[Ecumenopolis]] world controlled by the [[Sluggo]]. While the surface levels of the city are known for their order and wealth, the Deep City—buried over a mile beneath layers of newer structures—thrives as a hub of illicit activity and organized crime. It is infamous across [[Galaxa]] as a haven for smugglers, spice lords, mercenaries, and other denizens of the underworld. If one has an [[Inter-Galactic Stardrive]], and they are a smuggler or spice runner. They most-like been to '''Deep City''' at least once.
