Groups of Interest, also known as GOIs, are organizations or entities that have been identified as having an interest or involvement in the field of anomalous phenomena. These groups can include government agencies, secret societies, criminal organizations, and other entities that possess or are interested in obtaining anomalous objects or information. GOIs operate independently of Anomalous Research Inc. and may have their own goals, methods, and ideologies regarding the use and handling of anomalous entities. Some GOIs may be in direct competition with ARI, while others may have a more cooperative or indifferent relationship.
