| Alongside the two other major institutional structures, one can find the 'Ethics Committee' which acts as an internal judiciary responsible for ensuring that all of the institutions operating within the Foundation follow proper conduct and ethics within reason in order to ensure that the SDS Foundation can still continue its mission without destroying its moral integrity, with their rulings affecting even the Overseers. While some incidents still slip thru the Committee's cracks, it acts as vigilantly as possible alongside various representatives from the Accord's Regulation and Safety Division (due to previous violations of the Declaration of Sapient Rights) who are responsible for ensuring the Ethics Committee remains responsible when it comes to handing out justice for unethical acts, providing human resources, ensuring the ethical treatment of sentient anomalies, and preforming safety inspections. | | Alongside the two other major institutional structures, one can find the 'Ethics Committee' which acts as an internal judiciary responsible for ensuring that all of the institutions operating within the Foundation follow proper conduct and ethics within reason in order to ensure that the SDS Foundation can still continue its mission without destroying its moral integrity, with their rulings affecting even the Overseers.

| Despite being largely unified under shared goals, the sheer scale of the Foundation has necessitated that it organize itself as a collective of various departments specialized towards specific tasks, disciplines, and fields that cooperate among one another throughout each facility and territory in order to further the Foundation's efforts, either as full-scale departments headed by 'Department-Heads' represented on the 'Board of Directors', or smaller 'sub-departments' known as 'Divisions'. | | Despite being largely unified under shared goals, the sheer scale of the Foundation has necessitated that it organize itself as a collective of various departments specialized towards specific tasks, disciplines, and fields that cooperate among one another throughout each facility and territory in order to further the Foundation's efforts, either as full-scale departments headed by 'Department-Heads' represented on the 'Board of Directors', or smaller 'sub-departments' known as 'Divisions'.

| === Anomalous Entity Engagement Division ===
| | * The '''Anomalous Entity Engagement Division''' specializes in the humanization of the containment process and to establish a mutual bond between personnel and anomalies. The goal of these actions is to create a safe environment where both parties are treated as equals, where recreational activities are frequently available, and where the desire to further strengthen the relationship between both parties eases the containment process. Many SDS Sites containing safer and more human-like anomalies operate under these guidelines, with many anomalies being allowed 'free roam privileges' and interaction with staff. |

Through careful observation, extensive training, and regular use of mind-altering [[Amnestics|mnestics]], the Antimemetics Division is able to deal with the dangers that everyone else forgets. |
| | * The '''Cryptozoology Division''' handles all cryptid-related anomalies that have fallen into the SDS Foundation’s hands. The Division carries out field research, lab testing and containment of parafauna that have already become prevalent in their local area. |
| | * The '''Decommissioning Division''' reviews petitions to intentionally terminate<ref>Although the focus of the SDS Foundation is on containment rather than destruction, there are anomalies that are too dangerous, or resource-intensive to be safely contained.</ref> anomalous objects or entities, approving only those proposals deemed necessary and possible. The Decommissioning Division provides expert advice on the most efficient ways to decommission anomalies, utilising humane methods while minimising collateral damage. |
| | * The '''Entomology Division''' contains, studies, and utilises anomalous insect(oids). |
| | * The '''Interstellar Containment Division''' is in charge of studying and containing interstellar anomalies beyond inhabited planets. |
| | * The '''Miscommunications Division''' specialises in anomalies that manipulate language or communication in ways that make them difficult to accurately describe and contain. They are generally assigned to issues such as memetics, antimemetics, linguistics, and metaphysics. |
| | * The '''Mythology and Folkloristics Division''' studies the role that [[anomalies]] have played in the development of sapient cultures, using this research to identify anomalies and advise on potential containment methods. The Division studies everything from ancient myths to urban legends, and from lost lands to restless spirits, ensuring that insights into the anomalous found in folklore are integrated into the SDS Foundation's body of knowledge, rather than being ignored or forgotten. |
| | * The '''Other Division''' is responsible for containing and researching anomalies which don't neatly fit into any other division (or department's) purview, especially anomalies which require bizarre and unprofessional behaviour to be safely interacted with. |
| | * The '''Procurement and Liquidation Division''' exists to facilitate the purchase and disposal of anomalous objects and non-human entities through legitimate or semi-legitimate means. Although focusing on the acquisition, storage and (when appropriate) utilisation or destruction of anomalous items, the Department is also involved in the hostile takeover of corporations and financial institutions with [[Anomalies|anomalous]] connections. |
| | * The '''Surrealistics Division''' is dedicated to the identification and containment of anomalies that cannot be understood with traditional logic, thus utilizing agnostics and up-brained thinking to better understand unreality and abstract concepts. The Department of Surrealistics is headquartered in a meta-metaphysical space called [[Dimensional-Site-⌘]]. |
| | * The '''Tactical Theology Division''' is responsible for assisting in the capture, containment, and neutralization of theological anomalies. These anomalies may include; anomalous items suspected to holy relics, extranormal events believed to be miracles, paranormal cults, and [[Deities|Pluripotent Entities]]. The Department has a diverse staff of theologians, clerics, and sceptics, with branches specialising in different religious traditions. |
| | * The '''Temporal Anomalies Division'''<nowiki> deals with retrocausal, temporal, and counter-historical anomalies. At present the department has not yet been founded, which means that TAD operatives have difficulty getting their credentials recognised by other Departments.}}</nowiki> |

| The '''Cryptozoology Division''' handles all cryptid-related anomalies that have fallen into the SDS Foundation’s hands. The Division carries out field research, lab testing and containment of parafauna that have already become prevalent in their local area. | | * The '''Mobile Assault Squadrons (MAS)''' are paramilitary units under the command of the SDS Foundation, acting as the first line of defence sent to contain anomalous entities or objects. They are heavily armed with the latest experimental weaponry, vehicles and tools to deal with difficult situations. They can be organized into groups of up to a hundred, although more often are small reconnaissance units picked out of the best of the best from the SDS' more generalized security units. |
| | * The '''Field Strike Squadrons (SDSFSS)''' are non-specialised paramilitary units under the command of the SDS Foundation that are primarily used for site security and defence. They generally act as the first line of defence for most containment breaches unless the situation is dire enough that the MAS are called in. |

| | * The '''Normalcy Division''' is responsible for officially defining the SDS Foundation's definition of 'order' and 'normalcy', thus being responsible for upholding the Veil Doctrine, a policy the SDS Foundation follows to ensure its absolute secrecy for the better good of humanity. |
| | * The '''Public Operations Division''' is responsible for interacting with the public in both direct and covert ways. They are responsible for things such as public media, subliminal propaganda, organizing disaster relief and evacuations, and making public statements. |
| | * The '''Telecommunications Monitoring Division''' handles the SDS Foundation's worldwide analysis and processing of information gathered from telephone calls, most notably the routine surveillance of calls made to emergency services. Although aided by algorithms sensitive to key words, the majority of the TMO's work involves human operators screening thousands of mostly mundane calls for any evidence of anomalous involvement. |

The Department has a diverse staff of theologians, clerics, and sceptics, with branches specialising in different religious traditions. | | The '''Department of Territorial Administration''' acts as the 'administrative' division of the entire SDS Foundation by coordinating and managing all of the Foundation's physical assets such as facilities, territories, directed-governments and other owned holdings by subdividing itself into numerous divisions responsible for coordinating local facilities and instances, with both the DTA itself and its divisions hosting councils of local administrators in order to meet and coordinate their objectives. Several division currently operate under the DTA, such as the Alpha Sol Division, Backrooms Division, Extradimensional Division, Extrasolar Division, Farout Division, and the [[Secure-Defend-Subjugate Backrooms]] (a former Parallel Organization that was fully integrated into the Foundation). Due to how wide-reaching the DTA is, each of its divisions are represented on the Board of Directors, a Privilege which most non-Departments lack. Each facility, settlement and territory part of each Division is governed by a 'Division Council', a 'legislature' of representatives responsible for coordinating amongst one another, with an appointed 'head' of this council acting as a representative on the DTA Council and Board of Directors. For formatting reasons, the facilities of the SDS Foundation are featured in their own section. |
|
| |
|
| === Temporal Anomalies Division ===
| | * The '''Alpha Sol Division''' is responsible for administering the SDS Foundation's Facilities within the [[Alpha Sol System]], especially on [[Yata]] and [[Theia]], though many facilities also exist on other inhabited bodies on the system. Over time, the need for distinct Alpha Sol and Extrasolar divisions has gradually lessened, though due to the sheer amount of facilities on Yata and Theia as well as how spread out and distinct populations on said planets are has largely necessitated its continued existence. |
| The '''Temporal Anomalies Division'''<nowiki> deals with retrocausal, temporal, and counter-historical anomalies. At present the department has not yet been founded, which means that TAD operatives have difficulty getting their credentials recognised by other Departments.}}</nowiki> | | * The '''Backrooms Division''' is responsible for administering most of the SDS Foundation's Non-Civilian Facilities within the [[Backrooms]], a [[Liminal System]] which the SDS Foundation has spent significant resources into 'subjugating' as a base of operations away from the scrutiny of governments and other organizations based in Humanity's 'home dimension'. The Backrooms Division administers facilities fully located within the Backrooms as well as facilities in [[realspace]] used to access it, though nowadays most SDS facilities have a portal-system allowing access to the Backrooms which has lessened the need for such facilities as the technology was perfected and simplified. |
| | * The '''Extradimensional Division''' is responsible for administering the SDS Foundation's Facilities within dimensions beyond [[Timeline-002]], either involving strange places that require documentation or smaller pocket-dimensions that can be utilised to operate with greater secrecy. Alongside its facilities, the Extradimensional Division hosts various projects of its own; |
| | ** The '''EOS Initiative''' aims to safeguard the existence of humanity in case of some-kind of catastrophe capable of wiping out life in the solar system and beyond<ref>Specifically being directed towards a universe-spanning catastrophe</ref> by constructing multiple secure outposts in extradimensional anomalies, such as [[SDS-008 "Backrooms"|SDS-008]] and [[SDS-005 "The Bell"|SDS-005-01]]. |
| | ** The '''Extdim Communications Project''' aims to create instantaneous communication between dimensions. As of now the project is fairly limited, as it has not received a lot of funding. |
| | ** The '''Extdim Embassy Project''' aims to create a facility with representatives from all kinds of extradimensional groups and organizations within baseline reality. |
| | * The '''Extrasolar Division''' is responsible for administering the SDS Foundation's Facilities beyond the Alpha Sol System yet still within or near the [[Yatan-Theian Accord]], including both clandestine facilities on thought-to-be uninhabited planets as well as more standard sites and other facilities on inhabited Human worlds. |
| | * The '''Farout Division''' is responsible for administering the SDS Foundation's Facilities located significant distances away from the majority of [[Human]] civilization, with its name being derived from the '[[Farout Project]]' that saw the principal site of the division known as '[[Astria]]' be colonised by the Foundation, though despite its goals of preserving Humanity throughout the stars being successful the beginning of conflict between the SDS and UOI led to the project being discontinued, with the Farout Division being left in charge of remaining leftovers from the 'project days'. The following is a list of facilities and territories administered by the Farout Division; |
| | * The '''Mei'ra-in-Exile Cooperation Authority''' is a division of the DTA responsible for cooperating with the '[[Free State of Mei'ra in Exile]]', a parallel organization descended from the formerly sovereign '[[Free State of Mei'ra]]' which joined up with the SDS Foundation after being overthrown by an [[Accord]] invasion, with the SDS foundation granting them refuge in order to make use of their technology. The MCA cooperates with Mei'ra in Exile to administer various facilities run by the Free State to advance their technologies together and house Mei'ra's population. |
| | ** The '''Conscript Vessel Program''' is a cloning project run by the Mei'ra-in-Exile Cooperation Authority alongside the '[[Free State of Mei'ra-in-Exile]]'. The primary purpose of the program is to produce artificially grown [[Humans]] modified to be able to advance the interests of the Foundation in order to fill out its ranks as to mitigate the SDS' personnel deficit, serving as researchers, janitors, soldiers, and various other roles thanks to their intelligence, autonomy, loyalty, obedience, and numbers. Arguably, [[Conscript Vessels]] are a distinct sub-species of humanity due to their gray skin, uniform features, and a more androgynous appearance due to them being "grown" rather than naturally repopulating |
| | * The '''[[Secure-Defend-Subjugate Backrooms]]''' is a former Parallel Organization of the SDS Foundation established by a investigation team sent to [[SDS-002]] in 144 CE which ended up noclipping into the [[Backrooms]] Liminal System, declaring it their mission to establish SDS authority in the region, growing from one-outpost to a governing authority spanning across most of the explored System. While initially independent, once contact was re-established the SDS Foundation gradually began exerting itself onto the SDSB until it was fully integrated into the DTA in 521 CE. The SDSB serves as a government administering all civilian and some non-civilian settlements/facilities within the Backrooms, operating much more informally than the rest of the Foundation does, housing a 'parliament' with elected and directly appointed representatives to govern its subjects. Out of all of its assets, [[Point Alpha]] within [[The Lobby]] acts as the capital and administrative center of the SDSB. |
| | * Due to how widespread the Foundation is, not every facility can effectively be governed by one of the larger divisions of the DTA as many fall under '''minor divisions''' or other departments. |
| | ** '''Direct Holdings''' are facilities directly administered by the Overseer Council for their usage, including the secretive headquarters of the entire [[SDS]] with offices for most major departments and visions to collaborate in one open compound. |

The department is responsible for the containment of narrative anomalies, as well as a number of ambitious projects that exploit the nature of reality in service to the SDS Foundation's mission.

| | |
| ==Department of Territorial Administration==
| |
| The '''Department of Territorial Administration''' acts as the 'administrative' division of the entire SDS Foundation by coordinating and managing all of the Foundation's physical assets such as facilities, territories, directed-governments and other owned holdings by subdividing itself into numerous divisions responsible for coordinating local facilities and instances, with both the DTA itself and its divisions hosting councils of local administrators in order to meet and coordinate their objectives. Several division currently operate under the DTA, such as the Alpha Sol Division, Backrooms Division, Extradimensional Division, Extrasolar Division, Farout Division, and the [[Secure-Defend-Subjugate Backrooms]] (a former Parallel Organization that was fully integrated into the Foundation). Due to how wide-reaching the DTA is, each of its divisions are represented on the Board of Directors, a Privilege which most non-Departments lack. Each facility, settlement and territory part of each Division is governed by a 'Division Council', a 'legislature' of representatives responsible for coordinating amongst one another, with an appointed 'head' of this council acting as a representative on the DTA Council and Board of Directors.

| === Alpha Sol Division ===
| |
| The '''Alpha Sol Division''' is responsible for administering the SDS Foundation's Facilities within the [[Alpha Sol System]], especially on [[Yata]] and [[Theia]], though many facilities also exist on other inhabited bodies on the system. Over time, the need for distinct Alpha Sol and Extrasolar divisions has gradually lessened, though due to the sheer amount of facilities on Yata and Theia as well as how spread out and distinct populations on said planets are has largely necessitated its continued existence. The following is a list of all facilities currently and formerly administered by the Alpha Sol Division;

| The '''Conscript Vessel Program''' is a cloning project run by the Mei'ra-in-Exile Cooperation Authority alongside the '[[Free State of Mei'ra-in-Exile]]'. The primary purpose of the program is to produce artificially grown [[Humans]] modified to be able to advance the interests of the Foundation in order to fill out its ranks as to mitigate the SDS' personnel deficit, serving as researchers, janitors, soldiers, and various other roles thanks to their intelligence, autonomy, loyalty, obedience, and numbers. Arguably, [[Conscript Vessels]] are a distinct sub-species of humanity due to their gray skin, uniform features, and a more androgynous appearance due to them being "grown" rather than naturally repopulating.

| The '''[[Secure-Defend-Subjugate Backrooms]]''' is a former Parallel Organization of the SDS Foundation established by a investigation team sent to [[SDS-002]] in 144 CE which ended up noclipping into the [[Backrooms]] Liminal System, declaring it their mission to establish SDS authority in the region, growing from one-outpost to a governing authority spanning across most of the explored System. While initially independent, once contact was re-established the SDS Foundation gradually began exerting itself onto the SDSB until it was fully integrated into the DTA in 521 CE. The SDSB serves as a government administering all civilian and some non-civilian settlements/facilities within the Backrooms, operating much more informally than the rest of the Foundation does, housing a 'parliament' with elected and directly appointed representatives to govern its subjects.
