Australia is a country that is located in the southern Pacific Ocean. It comprises the mainland of the Australian continent.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
Pre-colonial era[edit | edit source]
During the Isu Era, at least three structures were made in what would become Australia: one on the east coast, one on the west coast, and a third in the middle of the desert.[2][3]
In the late 5th century BCE, the Isu Aletheia projected a map of Isu artifact locations from the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus for the misthios Kassandra, with one spot marked as being northwest of what is now Lake Eyre.[4]
Age of empire[edit | edit source]
During the Seven Years' War, the Colonial Assassins Shay Cormac and Hope Jensen activated a Precursor box in 1754 through one of Benjamin Franklin's electricity experiments. The box then projected a map that showed a then-unknown Australia.[5] In 1760, with Shay having since defected to the Colonial Templars, Shay and Christopher Gist alluded to Australia's existence to the British explorer James Cook, gifting him maps that they looted from the late Assassin Louis-Joseph Gaultier detailing potential naval routes there;[6] Cook would famously sail there ten years later, marking the first European exploration of Australia.[7]
During the 19th century, the British Empire advertised its colony of Tasmania as a holiday destination, describing the place as a fertile land with a host of exotic animals.[8]
Modern era[edit | edit source]
By 2011, Abstergo Industries was aware of only one Isu structure in Australia, at the center of the Outback, and later shared a map containing its location along with other known vaults to Juhani Otso Berg as a reward for his performance in the second stage of the Animi Training Program. Abstergo theorized that the Isu locations were possibly vaults.[9]
On 10 September 2012, a group of Assassins in Brisbane were eliminated by the Templars. The sole survivor was away from his team and called Gavin Banks following three days of no contact with his Assassin cell. However, he was tracked down and killed before he could be instructed on how to flee the country.[10]
On 21 August 2013, the Initiates network received an update from the help of the C.TAG (Coordinates Temporal And Geographical) program in the New South Wales town of Parkes. However, due to the increased risk factor attached to this, the C.TAG development was proposed to be shut down to instead focus on Initiate operations.[11]
By late 2014,[12] Abstergo's Future Technology Director Álvaro Gramática had a lab in an undisclosed Australian location, where he conducted experiments a Shroud of Eden and a Precursor box in order to boost the Phoenix Project's progress.[13][14] In August 2018,[15] the Instruments of the First Will discovered the lab's location after capturing André Bolden and took over the facility.[16]
Gramática was subsequently forced to use his research to create a body for Juno's consciousness to inhabit.[17] However, just as Juno was reborn in her new body, Galina Voronina's Assassin cell attacked the site. They killed Juno and most of the Instruments, while Gramática was crushed by falling debris from the battle. As a Templar strike team arrived to arrest the surviving Instruments, Berg detonated a Skunkworks Endgame grenate to destroy the lab, killing Charlotte de la Cruz, who failed to escape in time.[18]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
In issue #11 of Assassin's Creed: Uprising, the nationally recognized sandstone rock formation Uluru can be seen in the distance, most likely placing the location of Gramática's laboratory in Australia's Northern Territory. The desert region seen throughout issues #11 and #12 is the Great Sandy Desert that starts in Western Australia and also encompasses the Northern Territory's lower half.
