The United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition Headquarters, commonly abbreviated as UNATCO HQ, is the headquarters of UNATCO found on Liberty Island, New York City.

History[]

The headquarters is located close to the Statue of Liberty, the bombing of which ostensibly prompted the relocation of UNATCO HQ to Liberty Island.

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 centralized in the former communications center. During this conflict, the building is occupied by Illuminati Elite Troopers and Knights Templar Power Paladins, as well as several homeless people.

The complex has several levels. The first is on the surface and consists of a large building and a SATCOM station, with a helipad nearby. Just inside the building is a reception area consisting of a guard seated at a desk, some sofas and tables, and further along, another guard, and a retinal scanner. The retinal scanner permits access to the first level of the building, which consists solely of two offices. Level 2 is composed of two storage closets, two offices (one belonging to the UNATCO Chief, Joseph Manderley), a meeting room, and a break room. Level three contains the lavatories, the medical center, the armory, the communications center and the detention cells.

The HQ has a fourth level accessible through the medical center, with a door which is initially locked. JC Denton escapes through this door from a Majestic 12 laboratory complex beneath the HQ, confirming that UNATCO is effectively a branch of Majestic 12.

Notes[]

  • There is a safe behind the bookcase Manderley's office that cannot be accessed without the use of cheats. On one visit to HQ there is a weapon mod inside, but no way to reach it exists.

  • A whiteboard found in the conference room on Level 2 features a rough map of Liberty Island as well as as a list of "Suspects" including "Tracer Tong", "Robert Page", "Margaret Chow", "Max Chen", and "JoJo Fine"; "Organizations" including the "Bavarian Illuminati", "Templars", "NSA" and "Robert Page Industries"; and the questions "Who is JoJo's boss?" and "What is 'Ambrosia'?". The placement of this image is probably a developer oversight; UNATCO troopers and agents personally distributed the plague vaccine, but most are unaware of the Coalition's connections to Page and the Illuminati.
  • When arriving at the base for the first or second time, attempting to shoot the soldier at the retinal scan door (even though he is behind a screen) will cause a hostile response. The same goes for firing a large weapon also.
  • In Invisible War, a datavault on level 3 confirms that the "skul-gun" requested by Gunther Hermann was in fact created and delivered to Sam Carter, arriving mere hours after Hermann's death in Paris.
