Péricard Tower

Péricard Tower was a building in the city of Nouveau Paris that served as an administrative center for the Republic of Haven since its original creation in the second half of the 18th Century PD. It was named for Michèle Péricard, the first President of the Republic of Haven.
Under the name People's Tower, it served as the headquarters of the Committee of Public Safety. Before they were stopped, the Levelers penetrated almost to the Committee's floor. ()
During the Theisman Coup of 1915 PD, the military took control of the Tower by breaching its walls with assault shuttles and dropping troops into it. Admiral Thomas Theisman stormed Chairman Oscar Saint-Just's office with a number of battle-armored marines, and personally executed the dictator by shooting him in the head with his own pulser. ()
Following the restoration of the Republic, the building was once again named Péricard Tower and returned to its original purpose as the official office of the President of the Republic of Haven. ()
