The Department

The Department was a brutal, totalitarian Government agency that dominated Great Britain in the mid-21st Century turning the entire country into one giant dystopia.

Overview

The Department was part of the British government. Some of it's villainous members included Inspector Drake, head of the security section and Inspector Thorne, Governor of Dauntless Prison while some of it's more heroic members included Inspector June Turner the head of the alien activity section, Professor Alistair Gryffen and his assistant Darius Pike. The British government itself was led by the mysterious Lomax, who conversed with his subordinates via viewscreen, seen only as a shadowy silhouette.

It kept the population under control with it's robotic forces such as the CCPCs who were notorious for police brutality, robot surveillance cameras, hovering orange spheres with lasers and the Department also created androids. They were willing to go to any lengths to gain the public's obedience such as publicity stunts and propaganda messages. (K9TV: Liberation/The Bounty Hunter/Sirens of Ceres)

The Department also maintained a harsh policy on aliens, capturing any that came to Earth. They were referred to as Fallen Angels and imprisoned in Dauntless Prison.

It was later revealed that Lomax was actually a Korven, and Thorne was a spy, implanted with both Korven and Meron DNA. Both were killed shortly afterwards (K9TV: Eclipse of the Korven); What this means for the future of the Department remains to be seen.
