Skunkworks
Abstergo Skunkworks,[2] doing business as Skunkworks,[3] is a company that produces high-end military technology. It is also a subsidiary of Abstergo Industries.
The company's prototypes are usually field-tested by select members of Sigma Team.[2]
History
In February 2017, the Black Cross Juhani Otso Berg investigated a raid on an Abstergo facility in Hong Kong. There he found a set of highly advanced Skunkworks military goggles, valued at over $35,000, carelessly discarded. Berg then cannibalized the goggles to improve his own.[3] Using the goggles, he discovered that the Instruments of the First Will had infiltrated the upper-echelon of the Templar Order. When the Skunkworks employee—and secret Instrument—Heinrich Hart was confronted by Berg, he detonated an Endgame grenade with a blast strength of 0.25 kilotonnes.[1]
A year later, at the Abstergo Industries Australia facility on Resurrection Day, Berg detonated another Endgame grenade to destroy the lab following the death of Juno, killing everyone left behind including Charlotte de la Cruz.[4]

Behind the scenes
In Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, a prototype bow is available to the Eagle Bearer via the Helix Store. It's possible this bow was intended to be developed by the in-universe company Skunkworks.
