The '''Atlantic Ocean''' is the world's second largest ocean and the main line of division between the "Old World" of [[Europe]], [[Africa]] and [[Asia]] to the east, and the "New World" of [[North America|North]] and [[South America]] to the west.

During the [[Age of Discovery]], European explorers began to regularly cross the Atlantic Ocean and discovered the various lands of the Americas, which was soon followed by colonisation. For European travellers, a voyage over the Atlantic Ocean spanned six weeks at best, but could take several months in extreme cases, such as storms, seasickness and short food supplies.

Templar Shay Cormac was an active privateer from 1759 - 1763 during the Seven Years War. Many reported a large frigate with 'crusader' markings on it, which was attacking French and Spanish merchant ships regurarly. From 1759 - 1761 he aided the British, but his Templar masters were supporting the French and frowned upon him. Eventually he left the order and sabotaged their work, helping Britain win. He settled down in New York, where he married in 1764 and gave birth to his first son George. In 1765 he died from unknown circumstances.

The Europeans also voyaged the Atlantic to transport African [[Slavery|slaves]] to the colonies in the New World. For slaves, the voyage was even worse, as they were kept below the ships' decks, bound in chains, rarely allowed to go out for fresh air, only being given a meal once a day and plagued by disease.

'''Abstergo Entertainment''' is a subsidiary of [[Abstergo Industries]], tasked with producing multimedia consumer goods.

Its primary product is a gaming console version of the [[Animus]], known as Animus Omega, which is sold on a worldwide scale. Through its initial basis, it enabled the company to influence the general public through pre-packaged [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]] and wide, social gaming constructs.<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>

The company's main mediums included video games, movies and other media sourced from genetic memories. Their games were released in partnership with [[Ubisoft (company)|Ubisoft]]. The division's first major release was a 2012 game entitled ''[[Liberation]]'', entailing the story of the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Aveline de Grandpré]].

Since 2013, Abstergo Entertainment offices in [[Montreal]] have been focusing on the [[Sample 17 Project]], involving the genetic memories harvested from [[Desmond Miles]]' DNA, in hopes of finding new, interesting settings for future products. The two current projects derived from these memories are a video game titled ''[[Pirates of Nightmares]]'', and a feature film titled ''[[Devils of the Caribbean]]'', both focusing on Desmond's ancestor, [[Edward Kenway]].<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

However, despite these aims, the scheme faced some opposition from a group of hackers known only as the [[Erudito|Erudito Collective]], who intended to reveal the falsified histories which Abstergo had created for their products.<ref name="AC3" /><ref name="AC3L">''[[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation]]''</ref>

In the future, the company hopes to open 'sample collection' locations, where individuals can donate samples of their genetic code to the Abstergo system, allowing the company access to exciting new scenarios locked away within DNA. These genetic memories would then be explored by [[Abstergo Entertainment research analyst|research analysts]], and, if deemed good investments, would go into production.
