UNATCO Headquarters



United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition Headquarters, commonly abbreviated to UNATCO HQ, was housed in a building built mainly underground on Liberty Island, New York City. It was located metres away from Liberty Enlightening the World (the Statue of Liberty), the bombing of which ostensibly prompted the creation of UNATCO.

The complex had several levels. The first was on the surface and consisted of a large building and a SATCOM station. What exactly the ground floor of this large building contained, if it even existed, is unknown. The second level was approximately 10 feet underground and was the reception area of UNATCO HQ. It consisted of a guard seated at a desk, some sofas and tables, and further along, a water faucet, another guard, and a retinal scanner. The retinal scanner permitted access to the third level, which seemed to consist solely of two offices. The fourth level consisted of two storage closets, two offices (one belonging to the UNATCO Chief, Joseph Manderley), a meeting room, and a break room. The fifth level contained the lavatories, the medical centre, the armoury, the communications centre, an office, the detention cells, and a seating area.

It should be noted that in the official floor designations of the building, there are far fewer levels than described above. For example, Manderley's office is on Level Two.

It should also be noted that Manderley has a safe behind his bookcase, and on one visit to HQ there is a weapon mod inside, but no way to get it open exists.

The HQ had a sixth level behind the Medical Centre, with an initially inaccessible door. Later, it is revealed that this is the door to a large Majestic-12 laboratory complex beneath the HQ, confirming UNATCO as an arm of Majestic-12.

When UNATCO ceased to exist following the Collapse, the building fell into disrepair. By 2072, it is in ruins. The former UNATCO HQ becomes a major focus in the Battle of Liberty Island, when the remnants of the Aquinas core are centralised in the former communications centre. During this conflict, the building is occupied by Illuminati Elite Troopers and Knights Templar Power Paladins.
