Stellar dynamical model globular clusters are introduced into reconstituted versions of the dark matter halos of the Via Lactea II (VL-2) simulation to follow the star cluster tidal mass-loss and stellar stream formation. The clusters initially evolve within their local sub-galactic halo, later bein...
