 == History ==
-After [[Operation Mannequin]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Operation Mannequin (short story)|Operation Mannequin]]'') and the death of [[Major]] [[C Jones]] and her colleagues during the [[Jersey Tollgate Situation]], Major [[A Highway]] took Jones' former role in the pan-territorial UNIT operations at the [[UNIT's New York Liaison Office|UNIT New York Liaison Office]], and promised that he would reorganise UNIT's activities into a "pivotal single site operation", in part necessitated due to rise "threats to [[national security]]". Major Highway found this thrilling, and the news was documented in a [[press briefing]] written by [[A. Frederick]], released on [[31 March]], [[2005]].

-By 2009, UNIT indeed had centralised its activities to a major UNIT site, located in a [[skyscraper]]. [[Experiment]]s like [[Project Indigo]] were carried out there. At the time the base was overseen by Lieutenant-General Sanchez.
+UNIT's base in New York was temporarily taken over by [[soldier]]s conditioned by [[the Fulcrum]], as were the bases in [[Geneva]], [[Hong Kong]] and the [[United Kingdom]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Unzal Incursion (audio story)}})
-Following Earth's removal from normal space, it was a prime target for the [[Dalek]]s during the [[War in the Medusa Cascade]]. Many of the base's personnel were exterminated in this attack, including Sanchez himself. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]'')
+By the end of the [[2000s]],{{note|The present day of ''[[Doctor Who (TV series)|Doctor Who]]''{{'}}s [[Series 4 (Doctor Who 2005)|fourth series]] is [[Aliens of London dating controversy|not consistently dated]], with {{cs|The Fires of Pompeii (TV story)}}, {{cs|[The Waters of Mars (TV story)}}, and {{cs|SOS (audio story)}} setting the present of the 13 regular episodes in [[2008]], and {{cs|Beautiful Chaos (novel)}} setting them in about [[April]] to [[June]] [[2009]].}} UNIT indeed had centralised its activities to a major UNIT site, located in a [[skyscraper]]. [[Experiment]]s like [[Project Indigo]] were carried out there. At the time the base was overseen by Lieutenant-General Sanchez.
+Following Earth's removal from normal space, it was a prime target for the [[Dalek]]s during the [[War in the Medusa Cascade]]. Many of the base's personnel were exterminated in this attack, including Sanchez himself. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Stolen Earth (TV story)}}) The New York offices were targeted by the Daleks because of the presence of Martha Jones, who was recognised as one of the [[Children of Time]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|UNIT History (short story)}})
+Later, sometime in the mid-[[2010s]], the [[Tenth Doctor]] sent a message on his [[sonic screwdriver]] to UNIT HQ instructing them to do a clean up of any suspicious items being sold at the [[Ebonite Rooms]] in the [[Rockefeller Center]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Fountains of Forever (comic story)}})
