Not necessarily. According to google, "Deep space" is just another term for outer space. In the context of the T.C.H, though, they would probably call the uncolonized galactic fronteir (e.g. interstellar space) "deep space", given how they're a space-age society and all.

As for the Foundation thing, you're probably right about that. I couldn't think of a better definition for the Ember Foundation. It used to be the Ember Association, but that felt weird to me. Maybe something like Taskforce Ember would do better. I dunno.
