Subterranean Alien Civilizations

Subterranean alien civilizations are one of the most enduring models in alien-civilization theory: societies that develop below the surface of planets, moons, or artificial worlds rather than in open-air environments. The concept sits at the intersection of hidden civilizations, subsurface habitability, underground engineering, and the possibility that intelligence may persist in places largely invisible to outside observers.
