Central Intelligence Agency

The **Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)** is a civilian foreign intelligence service in New Rome (later known as the Greater American Republic). A part of the federal government, it is responsible for gathering intelligence across the globe, and delivering it to the United States president. In the TACITUS series, the CIA is seen as an evil organization by some organizations (such as Raven) though it is seen as an ally by other people as allies (such as the the NSA). In the TACITUS series, the CIA is depicted as a corrupt organization that uses acts of terrorism while disguising them as measures to protect the United States\New American Republic for a portion of the saga, before becoming a more friendly organization (with questionable methods of extracting intel from people).

In open secret ops, the CIA is referred to as **Other Government Agency** (**OGA**). In the TACITUS series, the CIA's Special Activities Division is portrayed as the main paramilitary force inside the CIA.

## In TACITUS Series

The CIA is primarily responsible for Operation Blackfish, an illegal experimentation project that is later exposed by the Covert Crusaders.
It is later revealed that they had a hand in the operation against the Santa Muerta Cartel in Bolivia, codenamed Operation Hobgoblin.
During the events of Operation Hobgoblin, the CIA is part of a joint operation involving the NSA, the DEA, and TACITUS.

## Appearances

Standard CIA operatives are seen wearing black suits and ties. Agents in the Special Activities Division look like a blend between a paramilitary unit and a special forces group, with some wearing elite special forces gear and some wearing paramilitary gear.
