NACA

The National Anomaly Containment Agency is an intergovernmental (and possibly interdimensional) agency of the United Nations (with limited oversight) and the primary defense agency of mankind against cosmic threats and anomalistic events (often just shortened to anomalies) due to disturbances in the Ultimus. It’s current Head of Directors is Mrs. Desponia.

Discovered in 1898 in a dormant state, in Portland, Oregon, A-001 (The Warper) by the local sheriffs, the findings were reported to the federal government. This caused the US to consider creating the Bureau of Anomalistic Investigation, the forerunner of NACA. By the time of the First World War, the following other Anomalies have been discovered by B.A.I:


 * A-002: Designation Screecher- a 7-foot tall, reptilian entity, assumed by top scientist to be a form of Rith. Has exaggerated jaw features, a large toothed mouth lined with fangs, and eyes similar to an alligators. Discovered and captured in 1907, Cambria, Australia
 * A-003: Designation Megamoloch- A larger specimen of A-005, possibly responsible for the U.S.S. Maine incident. Captured in 1905. Cuban waters.
 * A-004: Designation Sobek-Fossilized bones of a large sea serpent found off the coast of Egypt in 1906.
 * A-005: Designation Moloch- a possible form of Rith. Has large claws for grabbing and a venomous bite. Looks like a hybrid of cetacean and Chelonian traits, without back legs but webbed forearms. Captured in 1906, South China Sea.
 * A-006: Designation Buer- a sentient and disgusting contoursion of body parts that is hypothesized to have been responsible for the Black Death. Captured in 1908, Gallipoli.
 * A-007: Designation Chupacabra- a legendary cryptid from a different dimension where dicynodonts never died out and eventually some evolved into bloodsucking hibernating omnivores. Captured in 1916. Killed in 1920.

After the Great War, Anomalous activity severely decreased possibly due to the severity of the War. In 1920, the BAI was officially dissolved by the Wilson Administration, with all assets including captured Anomalies being transferred to the United States Armed Forces. However, when the Nazis took over Germany, Anomalous activity began to spike again, and throughout Nazi occupied territories this activity swelled to becoming increasingly common. The Roosevelt administration decided to create a new successor agency to BAI, the Overseas Anomalous Activity Agency (OAAA), to further investigate and contain Nazi anomalous experiments in late 1940. The agency grew in size and eventually granted equal protections and operational powers to the newly liberated European Economic Community.
