London is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom. It was attacked and occupied by the Chimera in October 1950 when Chimeran Burrowers dug from beneath the English Channel.
History[]
After the Chimera invaded Britain, London fell under siege. The Chimera flooded British Central Command with the River Thames and thereafter took over the city.[1] By early 1951, the Chimera ferried its entire invasion forces through massive fleets of dropships to London.[2]
Under Chimeran occupation, the Chimera excavated a massive hub tower from underneath London. By February 1951, the unearthed tower drastically changed the city's environment in which London was covered in permeant snow while temperatures dropped to below freezing point that the water in the River Thames was frozen solid.[3]
On July 14, 1951, British and American military forces launched a massive assault on London to destroy the hub tower.[4][5] Through the efforts of Nathan Hale, human forces succeeded in destroying the tower which in turn lead to the destruction of the entire Chimeran tower network and the deaths of all Chimera on British soil.[6]
