Monet Room

The Monet Room is a secure chamber in one of the basement levels of the Palais de la Concorde from which crises and sensitive security operations are coordinated by the President of the United Federation of Planets, the presidential staff, and members of the Federation Starfleet or the appropriate Federation Councillors. The Monet Room is so known because on its north wall hangs a famous painting by Claude Monet entitled Bridge Over a Pool of Water Lilies. The Monet Room first became used as the Federation's "war room" during the Zife Administration, when it was converted into such use during the Dominion War.

In 2379, the Monet Room was the location at which Admiral William Ross forced former President Min Zife, Presidential Chief of Staff Koll Azernal, and Federation Secretary of Military Intelligence Nelina Quafina to resign from office at gunpoint. Ross later took responsibility for Section 31's subsequent assassination of the three, claiming to President Nanietta Bacco that he himself had killed the three in the Monet Room.
