In 1905 PD, Hereditary President Sidney Harris, his cabinet and their families were assassinated there. The Committee of Public Safety under Rob S. Pierre then seized power over Nouveau Paris and took control of the government. ()
In 1914 PD, then Secretary of War Admiral Esther McQueen used the Octagon as the command center for her coup against Pierre's government. When Pierre was killed and most of the Committee members were in McQueen's hands, Oscar Saint-Just ordered General Speer to activate "Bank Shot", a 50-kiloton nuclear bomb hidden under the Octagon. The detonation vaporized the building and the surrounding area, killing the rebels along with 1,300,000 citizens of Nouveau Paris (; ).
