Akashic Satellite Plexus

The Akashic Satellite Plexus was launched in 2008, and appeared to simply be a collection of communications, weather, and observation satellites. The plexus was heavily shielded, in order to remain functional even in the face of predicted solar flares.

On December 21, 2012, Abstergo Industries intended to launch the Eye-Abstergo satellite into the plexus, which was meant to amplify the powers of an Apple of Eden.

Though the Assassins believed Abstergo would use it to control the world, this was denied in their internal documents for their top agents. Emphasis was placed on the plexus becoming able to locate "individuals with potential."

Trivia
