On 23 November 2004, the BBC launched the U.N.I.T. website to coincide with the 2005 series of Doctor Who, one of several websites created at that time.

The website contained a mix of narrative prose pieces, told from an in-universe perspective, as well as many non-narrative pages containing miscellaneous information. As invalid information is currently not considered a valid source on this Wiki, the non-narrative fiction is gathered on this page, and the short stories are given separate pages.
