The Division

Background

The Division is an organization of elite Time Lord operatives from another universe akin to the Celestial Intervention Agency but far more ruthless and amoral, who left their home universe to occupy another universe while manipulating it from afar. It is now parked in the Void, operating on the level of the Omniverse. The following is an excerpt from a report on it by the fourth incarnation of The Intern some time in the far future:

"In universe [REDACTED], Time Lord society had become wilfully isolated, corrupt, and decadent. Then they got themselves embroiled in the biggest war ever imaginable - The Time War - and just barely scraped out a desperate victory thanks to The Doctor bailing them out. Even after the war, they were so deeply reviled by the rest of the universe that they literally decided it was safest to just set up shop at a point on the timeline after everyone else in the universe was dead.

Gallifrey was left entirely in the company of ghosts. Even their basement was full of them.

This once-mighty empire was at the end of its rope, wielding no more power or authority in the universe. The policies and practices that built the Time Lords up had utterly, conclusively failed. During the war, they had resurrected the man who had instituted those policies in order to lead them to victory, and where did that get them?

Rassilon’s best solution had been to essentially induce the Time Lord rapture. When *that* failed, he had nothing better to do than sit around and grow paranoid from listening to vague prophecies from those ghosts in the basement, which prompted him to interrogate the person who actually did save Gallifrey from him — a move so brazenly unwise that it took The Doctor all of about fifteen minutes and ten words to incite a military coup against him.

Unfortunately for Gallifrey, The Doctor was also in a bad headspace at the time, so he was content to just blow through, purge the existing leadership, steal a gizmo, and bounce. Unsurprisingly, that left them sitting ducks for the next fellow who happened to wander in, discover their classified files, and blow up the capitol in a vindictive rage - that person being The Master.

Sic Transit Gallfrey.

In sum, all the wrong choices were made by Gallifrey, and what resulted was a failed state that no one wanted or cared about, which then summarily collapsed.

Meanwhile, the Time Lords who made all the opposite choices were able to adapt and survive. Instead of living in a gleaming city on a big red planet, they coordinated from a space station outside of the universe. Instead of enacting policies of isolation and non-intervention, they took an active role in guiding events. Instead of barring other species from their domain, they actively recruited beings like the Weeping Angels into their ranks, even after the Time War had eroded all trust in the Time Lord administration on Gallifrey.

Instead of getting wrapped up in the Time War, it seemed to pass them by altogether — all that time where The Doctor of Universe [REDACTED] thought they were the last of their kind, all that time Rassilon was wringing his hands over the Hybrid, all that time the Daleks spent rebuilding their infrastructure, The rest of The Division was still out there, in Universe [REDACTED], just waiting for a new leader once their founder Tecteun was murdered. A leader who would find them at a particularly precarious time in Universe 1337-A's history..."

Headquarters

The Division's headquarters are a massive space station called Division Control which is capable of crossing universes and parking between dimensions. It is older than the universe.

Division control also contains a massive biodome called Division Biodome which contains a "Seed vault" of all the lifeforms from various universes to be used not only to repopulate a universe from past to future in case of its destruction, but also to provide prime fodder for genetic manipulation of lifeforms.

It has also created backups of Universe 1337-A and its Gallifrey, described by Intern as "portable big bangs encoded with the history of the universe" intended to be detonated to revive a dead universe.
