Global Defense Department

Exterior of GDD's Caprica City Bureau.

The Global Defense Department (GDD) is an internal Law Enforcement and Intelligence Service on the colony of Caprica.

GDD has a bureau in Caprica City, which is underfunded due to complacency—until the resurgence of the Soldiers of the One terrorist organization ("The Reins of a Waterfall," "Gravedancing").

Known agents

• Gara Singh, Director of the GDD office in Caprica City
• Jordan Durham
• Youngblood

Notes

• The GDD is similar in function to the present day United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or the British MI-5.
