National Bureau of Anomaly Security

The National Bureau of Anomaly Security (NBAS) is the Paranormal Investigative service of the United Commonwealth. An agency of the United Commonwealth Department of Justice, the NBAS is a member of the Tokyo Sector. The NBAS reporrts directly to the Director of National Intelligence. The NBAS functions as the main Paranormal investigation service for not only the United Commonwealth as well as Canada, with partnerships with Washington, Puerto Rico, Texas and the Popular Front.

Although the functions of the NBAS are mostly unique, it shares many of its activities with the Midwestern Department of Civilian Defense and American Project Blue Book. While PBB primarily researches and the DCD aims on protecting its own civilians, the NBAS does both, as well as protecting what it is investigating and working with the TTARS.

Unlike the FBI and CIA of the west (and FBI and OSS of the UC itself), the NBAS focuses equally on international investigations as it does domestic. Since 2005, the NBAS is organized under the Director of National Intelligence. Despite its primarily peaceful narrative, it has conducted several raids on suspected targets, most notably during the Congo Genetics Company crisis of the late 90s and Operation Hallowtide. Many of these operations are done in conjunction with the FBI in the UC, MI5 and NCA in Britain, and the Japanese PSIA, as well as with various Militaries.

Purpose

When the NBAS was created, its purpose was to investigate reports of suspected Western and Soviet aircraft in 1983. After further investigations, the NBAS transitioned into a more paranormal-based organization in 1984, which continues to be its primary purpose in the present day.

According to its official budget of 1995, the NBAS has several main goals.

• Protecting the people of not only the Commonwealth, but the world as a whole from the unexplained.
