The Powerhouse is what Deep Lumen's residents call the furthest reaches of their district, and is the industrial park where most manufacturing and energy production jobs are kept. While the factories themselves are obviously off limits, the surrounding outskirts are where the restless and rebellious tend to wander. So long as nobody gets hurt, Lumen City turns a blind eye to this, allowing graffiti-riddled warehouses to serve as an outlet for self expression and youthful frustration.

For a while, New Horizons Community College was seen as a token nod towards the education of those in Deep Lumen. However, pushback against that idea has lead to the institution flourishing in recent years. Its programs in the trades now have reputations of great renown, and a variety of two-year and preprofessional programs have helped many of Deep Lumen's students find their own footing. Some believe these efforts will lead to a renaissance in Deep Lumen in the next few generations.
