Central Intelligence Agency

The Central Intelligence Agency or CIA was an international intelligence branch of the United States government.

History
In 1947, the CIA retro-engineered the Nedenah spacecraft which had crashed near Roswell. As a result, in 1948, when the Nedenah came to rescue the vessel, the CIA shot them down. Because the Americans were able to drive the them off, the Nedenah stopped trying to rescue the captured pilot. In 1970, the CIA captured the Brigadier at Roswell with the Nedenah, and destroyed England's cobalt reserves in order to thwart the Waro attack at Roswell. The Americans underestimated them, and believed that they could beat the Waro, and that the CIA would replace UNIT. (PROSE: The Devil Goblins from Neptune)

The Canavitchi planned to let the Jex attack the Earth and destroy the planet so the Jex fleet would be anihilated. The CIA had to help the Fifth Doctor, Tegan, Turlough and UNIT to arrest not only the Sons of Nostradamus, but also the Jex spearhead and their human accomplices at Intercom.
