History
Pre-Covenant war
At some point prior to 2170, the Palace of Westminster was badly damaged in an act of domestic terrorism.[2] The United Kingdom ceased to exist[2] as a governing entity shortly thereafter (though the term still continued to be used for areas of its former governance).[3] Pieces of the Houses of Parliament, as the palace was also known, were gathered and some were restored. The symbolic action of such a restoration was vital to the creation of the UEG, and was also seen by some as a cynical attempt to play on the twin vices of nostalgia and patriotism.[2]
In the late twenty-fifth century, restored pieces of the original building were fashioned used to create a cavernous space where trials were held.[2]
Post-Covenant war
In January of 2558, a trial for the smart AI known as Iona was held in a simulated environment modeled after this space.[2]
London was one of the locations that Jake Courage's collection of photography from the Second Battle of Mombasa, titled 'Shooting a Hero', was displayed.[3]
Trivia
