UNIT Mobile HQ (Brigadier's Mobile Office)

The mobile command center for UNIT, where Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and Major Cosworth coordinate tactical operations during the Stangmoor Prison crisis. This confined, utilitarian space—filled with radios, maps, and equipment tables—serves as the nerve center for planning the dual assault against the Master's missile base. The setting is characterized by its tense, militarized atmosphere and the Brigadier's emphasis on surprise and precision in the face of overwhelming odds. Benton bursts through the door into this cramped trailer, maps and radios cluttering the desk as the Brigadier briefs Cosworth on the Stangmoor assault. Concussion-fresh, Benton demands command, his voice bouncing off thin metal walls. The Brigadier relents amid flickering strategy lights, then dodges Yates queries—empty intel thickens the air, turning tactical talk into raw grief and resolve.
