== Description==
L.U.C.A., short for Liminal Uncharted Conservation Association, is an organization established by Ciarán Varon in the 1970s with the purpose of preserving select habitable levels and conducting exploration to uncover additional levels. The organization is primarily dedicated to the welfare of wanderers and wildlife, prioritizing their protection. When faced with hostile entities, they are prepared to take the necessary measures to safeguard the wanderers' well-being, as they are put first. L.U.C.A. is highly inclusive of wanderers, with many choosing to become part of the organisation due to its flexibility, allowing members to work independently while still offering exceptional support and accommodation.
L.U.C.A.'s HQ is based in level -501, which is commonly referred to as 'Outpost Ø' or 'Outpost Nord'. Additional bases and outposts can be located on Level 154 and Level 7.5. Additionally, there are often numerous smaller outposts that are not officially documented but are overseen or managed by members affiliated with L.U.C.A.
== Hierarchy ==
For the initial 7 years of L.U.C.A.'s establishment, Ciarán Varon served as the sole leader under a one-head policy. However, in 1985, when he relinquished his position as "Fear-siubhail ann an Ceann-cinnidh," meaning 'Explorer in Chief,' the organisation has since held elections every 8 Level -501 years for the title.
◇ Explorer in Chief: Leader and Head of the group; Elected every 8 Level Yu years.
◇ Assistant Chief: Second in command, and appointed by the EIC.
◇ The Nexus: The group name given to all outpost and base leaders.
◇ Researchers: Given to any member who shows interest in researching levels, entities, or effects.
◇ Explorers: Term given to all minor L.U.C.A. staff.
== History ==
Founded in 1977, L.U.C.A. initially originated as a group primarily based on Level 143. Nevertheless, within its first year, the group experienced substantial growth, expanding to include over 2,000 members. This remarkable expansion occurred even though it was started by a group of five friends. By 1980, the group underwent expansion and commenced its efforts on Outpost Nord at level -501. Additionally, they established their objectives to explore the backrooms and safeguard habitable levels.
In 1985, Veron resigned from the position of Explorer in Chief, initiating the first leadership election within the group. Following a closely contested race, Judah Tau eventually emerged as the second leader of the group.

After the 1999 election, when Uther Kitta assumed the role of Explorer in Chief, the group experienced a significant growth in members. Additionally, a substantial number of new discoveries, including Level 698 and Level 725, were made under her leadership.
Since 2006, there has been steady growth in the group's membership, which currently stands at a minimum of 6,000,000 individuals across 35 documented levels.
