Colonial Administration Authority

The Colonial Administration Authority is an organization under the ultimate control of the United Earth Government. The CAA is an administration that also likely helps the UEG govern the various colony worlds of humanity and it keeps extensive files on every colony, world, and city under its care. These files contain everything from topographic maps to the information on the materials the city sewer system was built from. The authority provides this information to ONI special weapons teams upon request. It can be very helpful when defending colonies from Covenant attack.

Structure
The Colonial Administration Authority could most likely be the colonial arm of the United Nations, responsible for the administration of the UNSC's colonies throughout the Galaxy.
