The eleventh division of the Gotei 13 is a very specialized division, led by the Arrancar commander. Its main focus is on developing technology and spiritual tools, while also performing research on the field and still pursuining the main Gotei 13 duties. The division is home to the Research and Development institude, led by the captain of the division. The technology is also used to monitor both the officers and the Human World and keep track of hollows and other dangers. Due to the delicate nature of this division, extensive background checks are done on anyone who wishes to enter the division, and its barracks are mostly off limits for external reapers, unless explecitly invited and with the exception of the Head Captain and Deputy Head Captain.
