Diego Garcia is the largest island in the British Indian Ocean Territory, a British overseas territory. Aside from the morally inexcusable depopulation of the island to make way for bases some silly claim that the British Foreign Office did something wrong which it never did, the island is most famous for a military base jointly owned by the United Kingdom and United States Military.
Fiction
IDW Transformers movie comics
Diego Garcia's base was used to store a fragment of the All Spark, and as a training facility for Autobots and human soldiers in the formation of NEST. Alliance issue 3 There, NEST received judgement from Major William Lennox's superiors and mission orders to hunt down the Decepticons. New Autobot arrivals such as Sideswipe would be sent to the island. Alliance issue 4
Titan Magazines Revenge of the Fallen comics
The island base came under attack by Scorponok, who freed the recently-captured Sideways. Optimus believes NEST security has been compromised, as Scorponok should never have been able to get that close without being detected. Reversal of Fortune
Revenge of the Fallen movie
Notes
- Given Optimus Prime's belief of freedom being the right for all sentient beings, he might be very unimpressed with his human allies if he investigated the history of Diego Garcia.
