The Hatchery was an industrial complex of Hyperion in the Badlands during Dragonhollow's Fourth Era.
It was built by Zerg, the faction's redstone automation specialist, in order to serve as a complementary production center to their Stony Sands headquarters.
The Hatchery included a zombie XP farm, an AFK fish farm, and the only villager farm in the Badlands.
Following the outbreak of war with the Merry Men, the manufacturing output of Hyperion had begun to falter as they spent more time fortifying and doing battle than producing supplies. With their fortress Stony Sands under siege, the need for a secondary location became apparent. A site in the Badlands' sparsely populated northeastern desert was chosen for the factory.
Retro was the first outsider to discover the Hatchery and he publicly broadcast both the coordinates and Zerg's existence there. The Merry Men immediately descended upon the building but were unable to gain entrance, though Jrod continued to patrol the area.
As Stony Sands was made impregnable against attack and the Hatchery reached peak production, Hyperion was able to double their previous output of weapons and tools, enchanted books, and XP on their way to becoming the wealthiest entity in the Badlands.
In the final days of the Fourth Era, Zerg barricaded himself inside the Hatchery to protect his position in the Badlands Survivor competition, guaranteeing that Hyperion would take both first and second places despite the best efforts of the Merry Men to unseat them and grant Gabault a victory.
A tunnel between the Hatchery and Stony Sands was planned to make the transit of supplies more convenient, but with the arrival of Sanctuary above Bad Landing, Hyperion abandoned the Badlands on 4E:425.

The following is out-of-universe information about the real world Dragonhollow.
The name is a reference to the Hatchery, the core building of every Zerg colony in the Starcraft series of video games, from which Zerg derived his Minecraft username.
