(Or for Torchwood, the Whovians' version of Section 9?)
I just put this on http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?title=Timelords:
The Whovians' militia, '''U.N.I.T.''', uses the NATO grade structure with the British Army names for ranking their forces. They have a small headquarters element and a recruiting office in The Citadel of the Time Lords, maintain a liaison office with [[Great Justice] on [[Arisia Station], and rent hangar space from [[the Roughriders] for their single squadron of 'waved Spitfires; they otherwise do not have any standing forces.
While the Timelords contract with the [[Space Patrol] to police 3325 TARDIS, the faction's '''Torchwood''' group serves the same role as the Patrol's Section 6.And, some rumours claim, Section 9.
(And now I have to log off. The real world calls - I'm going to go take some photos and finally meet SkyKnight face-to-face...)
