United Races Intelligence Command

The United Races Intelligence Command, or the URIC, was what UNIT became in an alternate version of the 1990s where Silurians, Sea Devils and humans lived in peace. Due to the peaceful interaction of the species, URIC's bases had a greater level of technology than UNIT. The Brigadier and the Third Doctor of this timeline remained part of URIC into the 90s to help keep the peace going, and a Silurian called Thactus worked as the Doctor's assistant.
In the late 90s, URIC's Osaka base was attacked by horrific monsters nicknamed 'chimera'. Colonel Muriel Frost and Professor Thactus's own base was similarly attacked but the beasts were repulsed thanks to a device created by the deceased Doctor. saved with the help of a universe-hopping Seventh Doctor. With his help, URIC learned their officer Captain Paris had been brainwashed into serving as an inside agent for the enemy: Mortakk, a mad Silurian geneticist who wanted to replace mankind and Earth Reptile with the chimeras. A URIC striketeam warped into his base with the dead Doctor's TARDIS and assisted the Seventh Doctor in stopping Mortakk. (COMIC: Final Genesis)
