Summary
The Egg Fleet (also referred to as the Eggman Fleet) is the might of the Eggman Empire given aerial form, a formidable armada of flying battleships. Their force is most often commanded and directed by Dr. Eggman in his path of global conquest, each battleship loaded with a vast amount of Badniks, but it has occasionally aided the heroes (even if inadvertently) in times such as defending Earth against the invasion of the Black Arms.

Attack Potency: Wall level with Infantry (Grounder Badniks have shown this level of strength, which all Badniks should be comparable to),[10] Brown Dwarf level with its Weaponry | Wall level (Eggman's standard Badniks should be no weaker than before, with them making up for it in their ease of production) to Large Star level with Infantry (Stronger Badniks in the Egg Fleet, such as the Solid Pawns, Egg Knights, and Heavy-Egg Hammers, require several to numerous hits from members of Team Sonic and Team Dark before they're destroyed), Large Star level to Solar System level with its Weaponry (The Egg Carrier can harm the Tornado and has defenses which are capable of harming the likes of Adventure Sonic and Adventure Shadow[11]) | Low Multiverse level (2 universes. The Egg Cauldron is a threat to Sonic and Tails in Unleashed with its weapons. Eventually 12 universes. Sonic and Tails note that Badniks have gotten stronger over time. Standard Buzz Bombers can cause extensive damage to the Eggmobile, make Sonic dodge their attacks and retreat, and could "fry" Modern Tails.[12] A group of standard Egg Pawns can provide trouble to Sonic and Amy in small groups,[13] as well as Shellcrackers being able to temporarily incapacitate Sonic.[14] Cannons aboard Eggman's ships left Sonic reeling and knocked him off his feet on direct impact.[15] Blaze alluded that the only reason the Egg Fleet couldn't harm her was because she was Burning Blaze[16]) with Infantry and Weaponry
Speed: At least FTL for the aircrafts (Flying Battery Zone can outpace Sonic with its flight) | Massively FTL for the aircrafts (Should be no slower than before. Can keep pace with the Tornado) | Massively FTL+ to Infinite for the aircrafts (Sonic had to increase his speed to keep up with the Egg Carrier during the Soleanna incident. Eggman's aircraft's can travel cosmic distances to Planet Wisp and should be superior to the likes of Dodon Pa's Rocket that was used to do the same, with the Sonic universe being infinite size), Infantry, and its Weaponry (Egg Fleet Battery cannons can apply pressure to and tag Modern Sonic with its artillery fire[15])
Power Source: Woodland Critters to power Badniks, Unknown for the Fleet itself | Woodland Critters and Power Cores for Infantry (Many of Eggman's Badniks utilize Power Cores, which drop upon defeat),[17] Unknown for the Fleet itself | Power Cores, potentially others (Dr. Starline notes that Power Cores are used by a variety of machines in the Eggman Empire,[8] with Eggman noting that he has a reserve of them[18])
Industrial Capacity: Unknown (However, it should be noted that Eggman never faces issues in producing and sending out Badniks for his assaults against Sonic and co.) | Immensely high (The Pawn Series, a mainstay in Eggman's infantry upon their introduction, are referred to as "effective" and "cheap to produce"[19]) | Same as before, if not greater (When powered by animals, Badniks can be produced quickly and efficiently.[12] The Metal Virus was an attempt at a limitless workforce that would aid in completing any project in a matter of days, if not hours, and only failed because of intervention from Sonic and the Chaos Emerald-amped Deadly Six[20])
Military Prowess: Due to being part of the Eggman Empire, it shares its military prowess.
Notable Individuals: Dr. Eggman, Neo Metal Sonic (Both Adventure and Modern Era)
Notable Warships:
Model | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
Wing Fortress Zone | Described as a secret stronghold,[21] the Wing Fortress Zone (ウィングフォートレス, Wingu Fōtoresu) is a flying battleship created by Dr. Eggman. It has various traps and hazards throughout much of the ship, be it from Badniks or design, with various areas that allow for infiltrators to fall to the ground below. For a better look at the Wing Fortress in its entirety, see here. | |
Flying Battery Zone | A second warship crafted by Dr. Eggman, Flying Battery Zone (フライングバッテリー ゾーン, Furaingu Batterī Zōn) is a massive aircraft that's described as and shown to be littered with traps.[22][23] Many hazards found in Wing Fortress can also be found here, such as areas which require traversal over hazardous drops. For a more extensive look at Flying Battery Zone, see here and here. |

The Egg Carrier |
An aircraft carrier so large that it has a transit system to transport supplies at high speeds. The Egg Carrier is a notable jump from past aircrafts, like having laser turrets and laser cannons with suppressive fire,[24] artillery cannons which shoot spiked and flaming projectiles, minds at the underbelly of the ship,[25] giant laser which blasts out the front, teleporters,[26] and a designated battle mode that makes it harder to traverse the ship. |

Space Shuttle | Through unknown means, Dr. Eggman got his hands on a Space Shuttle. Its unclear as for why as he could make his own space craft as early as Sonic 2. |
- The Egg Fleet: First appearing in Sonic Heroes, the Egg Fleet is an armada of ships. Each ship is armed with turrets and cannons, with Badniks that accompany them and provide trouble for infiltrators. Larger ships in the fleet have nearly a dozen cannons on the landing strip.
- Final Fortress: An aircraft carrier the size of a city,[27] Final Fortress is The Egg Fleet's flagship armed with similar cannons, laser grids, electrified rails, laser cannons, and laser cannons of a much larger size. It also has areas with self-destruct buttons.[27]
- Egg Carrier 2: First appearing in Sonic Adventure, the Egg Carrier 2 is replica back up of the original Egg Carrier just in-case Chaos rebelled against him. It is presumed that it has similar artillery and prowess.
- Egg Balloon: First appearing in Shadow the Hedgehog, The Egg Balloon is a giant blimp made of metal with built-in heavy artillery. Six turrets are built on it's sides which allow it to fire power blasts that can create explosions.
- The Egg Fleet: Reappearing in Sonic Unleashed, the Egg Fleet sports a sleeker design for both its secondary aircrafts and the flagship itself.[28] Not only is each ship armed with turrets that can keep a bead on Sonic, but has also Egg Fighters and variants which can be deployed right from the landing strip of Eggman's flagship.[28]
- The Egg Cauldron: An aircraft carrier that's host to a large amount of fighter machines that can be deployed right out of the central gate of the aircraft, with the aircraft itself being armed with missiles which home in on their target[29]
- Frigate Skullian: Sturdy enough to take a barrage of hits from Sonic, the Frigate Skullian is equipped with lasers, dual machine guns that fire energy balls, can attach an asteroid to its hand to slam it, and can form portals that it can enter and shoot out asteroids from.[30]
- Eggman Flying Battery: First appearing in Sonic Generations, the Eggman Flying Battery is a giant blimp that can fire out lasers from its canons and deploy spiked barrels into lower grounds. It can also instantly deploy Egg Fighters and Egg Launchers for combat.
Weaknesses: Certain creations in the fleet have self-destructive features | Same as before | None notable
- Many ships within the fleet are unscathed by its own armaments and attacks from Sonic himself.
- Aided the Eggman Empire in conquering 99% of the planet.[31]
Note: Despite several noted aircrafts within the profile existing before the Egg Fleet's introduction in Sonic Heroes (Wing Fortress Zone and Flying Base Zone, The Egg Carrier, etc.), they are indexed due to their status as aircrafts built by Dr. Eggman.
