	Ulster Defence Association - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Ulster Defence Association (UDA) is a loyalist paramilitary organisation in Northern Ireland, outlawed as a terrorist group in the UK and Republic of Ireland, which is perceived by its supporters as defending the loyalist community from Irish republican terrorism.
		The UDA is heavily involved in racketeering and in the drugs trade in Northern Ireland, and to a lesser extent in western Scotland.
		The UDA has also been riddled by its own internecine warfare, with self-styled "brigadiers" and former figures of power and influence, such as Johnny Adair and Jim Gray (themselves bitter rivals), falling rapidly in and out of favour with the rest of the leadership.

		As commander of the East Belfast brigade of the Ulster Defense Association, a loyalist paramilitary group, Gray struck fear in Catholics, who were surrounded by hostile Protestants in a neighborhood whose lost privilege is symbolized by the cranes of the formerly bustling shipyards that still dominate the horizon.

		Gray's path to power was paved by the assassination of the UDA commander in whose image he seemed to be created: Jim Craig.
