The Council's chamber contains a crescent-shaped table[3] behind double doors guarded by two battle-ready MPs.[4] Although Sydney was devastated during the Battle of Earth, the Bravo-6 facility remained mostly untouched and continued to serve as the Security Council's base of operations as of early 2553.[5]
