A secretive Starfleet division of analysts that catalogues and studies incidents science cannot readily explain, taking custody of the haunted derelict USS Griffin in the fourth season of Strange New Worlds.
Division 12 is a little-seen branch of 23rd-century Starfleet whose analysts collect and examine reports of unexplained phenomena. Erica Ortegas first refers to it in passing in the third-season episode Terrarium, and its purpose is spelled out in the fourth-season episode The Griffin Incident.
In that story Kirk, Spock and La'An board the USS Griffin, a starship missing for nine years whose security chief, Rose Harper, had killed the crew and whose corridors are still stalked by a malign presence. Once the landing party is recovered, the derelict is towed away to the division's undisclosed headquarters.
Pike tells M'Benga that he has referred six incidents to Division 12 during his career, and that conventional science eventually accounted for four of them, leaving two unexplained.
