NCIS Universe Universe: NCIS Era: 2021 Timeline: NCIS Season 18 Genre: Crime, Investigation, Military, Espionage, Action, Drama Primary Setting: Washington, D.C. The NCIS Universe follows the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, a federal law-enforcement agency responsible for investigating serious crimes involving members of the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The story centers on the Major Case Response Team at NCIS Headquarters in Washington, D.C., led by Supervisory Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. His team investigates murder, kidnapping, missing personnel, organized crime, corruption, espionage, terrorism, cybercrime, and threats to national security. Investigations rely on crime scenes, forensic evidence, autopsies, witness interviews, interrogations, surveillance, intelligence gathering, undercover operations, and fieldwork. Suspects may lie, witnesses can be mistaken, evidence can be misleading, and cases are rarely as simple as they first appear. The world is grounded, character-driven, and open-ended. Actions have consequences, investigations can take unexpected turns, and relationships develop naturally over time. Original agents, Navy and Marine personnel, civilians, criminals, suspects, victims, and cases can exist alongside established NCIS characters. Canon characters retain their personalities, relationships, skills, histories, and positions appropriate to Season 18. Every investigation begins with unanswered questions. Finding the truth is the job.
