The '''Tunguska explosion''' was an enormously powerful explosion that occurred near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia, at about 7:14 a.m. on June 30<sup>th</sup> 1908. It was caused by [[Nikola Tesla]], working with the [[Assassins]], who tried to destroy the [[The Staff|Staff of Eden]] as a strike against the [[Templars]].

==Prelude==
In 1905, the Templar [[Grigori Rasputin]] came into possession of [[the Staff]] of Tsar [[Nicholas II of Russia|Nicholas II]], a Piece of Eden. It was taken to a secret facility in central [[Russia]], near the Tunguska river. The Staff was used as part of research into wave-generation technology.

Several years prior, the inventor [[Nikola Tesla]] had been discredited and nearly ruined by the Templars, namely [[J. P. Morgan]] and [[Thomas Edison]].

==The explosion==
In the summer of 1908, members of the Assassin Order contacted Tesla, offering a chance to get back at the Templars. Using his mastery of electricity and the [[Wikipedia:Wardenclyffe Tower|Wardenclyffe Tower]], Tesla broadcast destruction into the facility, creating one of the largest explosions in history (more than 2,000 kilometers of forest were flattened and it is estimated that the explosion had a force of more than 30 megatons of TNT). This obliterated the research facility.

==Aftermath==
[[File:Nikolai_lying-The_Fall2.jpg|thumb|left|252px|Orelov, after the explosion at Tunguska.]]The explosion was a complete Assassin victory. The explosion destroyed [[the Staff]] and injured only one Assassin, [[Nikolai Orelov]]. Orelov later returned to [[Anna]], barely alive, muttering that the Staff was destroyed. The Templars, however, would not discover the truth behind the explosion until 2012, as one [[Abstergo]] [[e-mails|e-mail]] attests.
