'''The Division''' (or simply '''Division''') was a shadowy organisation | '''The Division''' (or simply '''Division''') was a shadowy organisation founded on [[Gallifrey]] by the early [[Time Lord]]s. | ||
In [[Timeless Child|an existence]] [[The Doctor's early life|prior]] to the earliest memories retained by the [[Thirteenth Doctor]], which spanned their [[Fugitive Doctor|"Fugitive" incarnation]], [[the Doctor]] worked as a Division operative, albeit under duress.

With orthodox Time Lords maintaining an official policy of [[non-interference policy|non-interference]], the Division was founded to account for the fact that "policy and reality sometimes differ[red]", ([[TV]]: ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]'') with the purpose of ensuring the safety of Gallifrey's [[Mutter's Spiral|galaxy]]. Over time, its horizons "broadened", until, by the [[Thirteenth Doctor]]'s time, it was guiding and shaping events across [[space]] and [[time]], passing judgement on entire [[civilisation]]s to assess whether they needed to be "enlightened" by Division's efforts.

Employing agents of all species, ([[TV]]: ''[[Village of the Angels (TV story)|Village of the Angels]]'') including ones from other [[dimension]]s, ([[TV]]: ''[[Survivors of the Flux (TV story)|Survivors of the Flux]]'') they became [[Division Control|based]] outside [[N-Space|the universe]], studying [[multiverse]]s beyond their own and coming to view their home universe as expendable, ([[TV]]: ''[[Survivors of the Flux (TV story)|Survivors of the Flux]]'') having [[Restoration of the Cyber-Empire|outlived]] Gallifrey itself. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]'') With leadership eventually reverting to [[Tecteun]], the Division initiated a plan to destroy the universe due to it being contaminated by the Doctor's influence, using [[the Flux]] and even their own old enemies the [[Ravager (The Halloween Apocalypse)|Ravager]].

The Division was used by a member of the [[High Council]] to attempt genocide Time Lords who had settled on alien worlds and adopted alien bodies via [[regeneration]], claiming they posed an imminent threat that needed neutralising. The mission was given to the [[Fugitive Doctor]] and [[Taslo]], who was actually working for the councillor and planting explosives on each colony the Doctor investigated. The Doctor deduced the true nature of the mission and had fellow agent [[Gat]] help her arrest the councillor and Taslo, and later discovered Taslo had left her a secret message to enable her to rescue the colonists after a change of heart. The Doctor subsequently decided to abandon Gallifrey, ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Origins (comic story)}}) fleeing the Division and hiding out on [[Earth]] under a [[Chameleon Arch]] to avoid detection.

The Division (or simply Division) was a shadowy organisation founded on Gallifrey by the early Time Lords.
In an existence prior to the earliest memories retained by the Thirteenth Doctor, which spanned their "Fugitive" incarnation, the Doctor worked as a Division operative, albeit under duress. (TV: Fugitive of the Judoon, Once, Upon Time)
With orthodox Time Lords maintaining an official policy of non-interference, the Division was founded to account for the fact that "policy and reality sometimes differ[red]", (TV: The Timeless Children) with the purpose of ensuring the safety of Gallifrey's galaxy. Over time, its horizons "broadened", until, by the Thirteenth Doctor's time, it was guiding and shaping events across space and time, passing judgement on entire civilisations to assess whether they needed to be "enlightened" by Division's efforts. (TV: Survivors of the Flux)
Employing agents of all species, (TV: Village of the Angels) including ones from other dimensions, (TV: Survivors of the Flux) they became based outside the universe, studying multiverses beyond their own and coming to view their home universe as expendable, (TV: Survivors of the Flux) having outlived Gallifrey itself. (TV: The Timeless Children) With leadership eventually reverting to Tecteun, the Division initiated a plan to destroy the universe due to it being contaminated by the Doctor's influence, using the Flux and even their own old enemies the Ravager. However, the plan backfired with the Ravagers finding their way to the Division's outpost in the Void, killing Tecteun and taking control of the ship and Flux. (TV: Survivors of the Flux)

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Though no link has been drawn in-story, the creation of a secret Gallifreyan organisation with authority to break the Time Lords' non-interference protocols, overseen by one of Gallifrey's Founders, is strikingly similar to the depiction of the origins of the Celestial Intervention Agency under the helm of Rassilon in such stories as The Legacy of Gallifrey. In turn, the Fugitive Doctor acting as a reluctant Division agent in a forgotten era of the Doctor's life in Fugitive of the Judoon is similar to the Second Doctor reluctantly becoming a CIA agent in the "Season 6B" era.
