It also [[{{Deconstruction}} quietly acknowledges how]] [[RealityEnsues incredibly expensive a facility would be to make]], requiring civilian corporations to share parts of it for ''VideoGame/DeepFear'', and used as maintenance after the justification for the oxygen-counter mechanics.US Navy cut its funding -- one of which was an agricultural company breeding surface animals to become your enemies [[GoneHorriblyWrong when a mutating virus spreads around]].

** As discussed in the splatbook for [[TabletopGame/GameTheAscension the Void Engineers]], there are several that are maintained by the Engineers, as their explicit aims are to explore everything, not just space or Umbral realms (plus, things learned with underwater exploration are frequently applicable for exploring space/other dimensions). However, prior to the Avatar Storm, this was given much less attention (and, consequently, much less budget than other Engineer programs).

However, prior to the Avatar Storm, this was given much less attention (and, consequently, much less budget than other Engineer programs). Post-Avatar Storm, their remoteness (particularly from the Sleepers) combined with the loss of bases in Umbral realms result in increased importance of these bases for the Technocracy as a whole; several even get upgraded to [[UnderwaterCity Underwater Cities]].
