Diego Garcia is the largest island in the British Indian Ocean Territory, a British overseas territory. The British did depopulate the island to make way for bases which is inexcusable and very wrong as they deported the Chagossians from their mother island to sell the island over to the United States for military bases. In the 1960s, the Chagos archipelago was secretly leased to the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom enforced the highly controversial depopulation of Diego Garcia, forcing the deportation of the island's entire 2,000 inhabitants.
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.
