The Government

The Government (also known as Unnamed Investigation Agency or U.I.A.) is a mysterious organization on the Island that was first introduced during Season 4. They're known to investigate, excavate and fix anomalies on the Island.
__TOC__
==Overview==
The Government investigates the strange sightings on the Island, such as The Meteor. They set up bases inside Dusty Divot, Loot Lake and numerous dig sites. They uncovered The Vault under Loot Lake, uncovered The Devoured and discovered volcano vents under dig sites. 
The Goverment is an organization with an unclear allegiance and intentions. They first appeared to work on their own in Season 4 and later in Season 8, searching the Imagined Order's vault on the Island and started to study it, whishing to understand what it was. However later, during Season 9, they allied themselves with the Imagined Order, as revealed by the Fortnite X Marvel: Zero War comics, where it was stated the Imagined Order built the Mech for The Paradigm, although in reality it was built by the Government (with the help of Singularity, an agent of the Imagined Order). During Chapter 3, The Government did not get involved in the war between the Imagined Order and The Seven, and simply excavated the remains of The Devourer. AFter the Imagined Order's defeat, they helped in the reconstruction of Tilted Towers.

==History ==
===Season 4===
 
They investigate the meteor sites across the map, and set up a base at Dusty Divot. After a few weeks, they reveal The Visitor's pod within the meteorite. He later escapes and destroys the Government's equipment, while fleeing to the area they were containing the Hop Rocks.
===Season 8===
They begin scouting the Island using a helicopter for a bit until they set up excavation sites and dug up different things across the map, such as volcano vents and fossils. They then dig up Loot Lake to reveal The Vault.
===Season 9===
With the help of Singularity, guardian of the Imagined Order's Gateway, the Government rebuilds Tilted Towers and Retail Row and takeover the Volcano, turning it into Pressure Plant. After The Devourer breaks out of Polar Peak, the IO were happy to let it destroy everything in The Loop, although were worried that he would harm The Zero Point. The Paradigm, who was also captured at some point, instead volunteers to pilot a Mech to defeat the Devourer. With the help of the Government, Singularity and her troops start construction of the Mecha Team Leader at Pressure Plant. 
====The Final Showdown====
The Devourer rises from the ocean and start heading towards The Vault. The Mecha Team Leader leaves Pressure Plant and attacks the Devourer, getting the two in a fight. The Devourer rips out Mecha's arm and heavily damages it, but Mecha damages The Vault and pulls The Zero Point out. It goes for Singularity's statue and pulls it out, revealing a giant sword. Devourer attacks back but the Mecha strike the sword in his head, killing The Devourer with no sweat. It flies off into The Ice Moon, leaving the Island for a long while.

*The organization was dubbed as "The Government" or the "U.I.A." by the Fortnite community. Their true name remains unclear to this day, although Mari claims to know a "Government" on the Island.

**One potential name or part of the "Government" is "Vindertech Universal Leader", shown in Season 4's Trailer, whilst Venturion and Ventura's movie characters have a V-Buck Logo, but this is not confirmed otherwise.
