The term came from old-time mining operations on Earth, where a canary bird would be sent down into a mine to check that the air was safe for humans to breathe.

| - The Canaries was the name given to volunteer convict armies in the Space Corps, utilised for missions deemed too dangerous for less expendable personnel. The term came from old-time mining operations on Earth, where a canary bird would be sent down into a mine to check that the air was safe for humans to breathe. One such prisoner group was formed aboard the Jupiter Mining Corporation spaceship Red Dwarf. Canary members were drawn from convicts housed on the secretive brig located on floor thirteen of Red Dwarf - The Tank. It could be said that the Canaries were "The Dirty Dozen in space." Convicts who chose to join got certain privileges, such as extra rations and other perks (including a movie night once a week, although the movies were low quality to sap morale, according to Arnold Rimmer), although some, such as Kill Crazy and Baxter, might have joined simply for fun (as it allowed them to kill something). Prisoners who didn't join Canary away missions may be asked to do very unpleasant things, such as cleaning out the sewers. The main function of the Canaries was to function as expendable cannon fodder. Like the use given to their avian namesakes in old Earth mines, Canaries were sent first to any dangerous situation. If they survived, then the location was presumed safe for Space Corps officers and equipment. According to Arnold Rimmer, their name stood for Convict Army Nearly All Retarded Inbred Evil Sheepshaggers. Recruitment posters for Red Dwarf's Canaries were put up around the men's toilets. They went to and from Red Dwarf in a white shuttle craft, which may be White Giant from the novel Better Than Life.

- In the lead-up to the Great War, the coal reserves in America were becoming increasingly rare. As a result, in 2074 mining companies resolved to delve deeper underground, hoping to find new reserves deep within the Earth, namely in Appalachia, as well as a few other places, hoping that nuclear fusion would jaut be a passing fancy. This push was known as the Charleston Initiative. Many people, especially in West Virginia, flocked to mining jobs, hoping to gain a steady job. The dig for coal was not overly successful, but it kept many people employed. Some mining companies also began to use these mineshafts as waste disposal dumps for another company's contagious material, hoping to make a quick buck on the side. Some miners came down with sickness but quickly dismissed the coal companies of any wrong doing, hoping to find coal and retain their jobs. Before any new sources of coal were discovered though, the Great War occurred. On the morning October 23, 2077, many miners were already hard at work underground. Most were underground when the nuclear blasts occurred and remained in the mines, hoping to wait out the radiation. The miners from then on remained underground and developed into the canaries, a race of pale, isolated ghouls who lived deep underground, far away from the prying eyes of smoothskins. As the years wore on though, the canaries began moving back towards the surface and shared their unique culture with others. These encounters were mostly peaceful, and the people of Appalachia learned not to fear the men under the mountains.
