Wyvern Ship

== History ==
The Wyvern Ship was a Eggman Empire battleship built as a functional facade for the Egg Wyvern. It's purpose was to lure the Diamond Cutters into a fatal battle with the Egg Wyvern, and presumably after that, it was going to take the role of a flagship in the Egg Fleet. 
Unfortunately for Eggman, the ship was damaged by Sonic after he had beaten Metal Sonic, and crashed near the Island Collective. Eggman took the defeat in stride however, and used the floating remains as the hub of all Iron Series developments, renovating it slowly into a semi-proper seabase. 
Upon the completion of the Iron Series, Eggman would reprise it's role as a trap and imprison the families of Team Dragoon onboard it, drawing them first into a boss rush against mechs they faced, and then into separate rooms which were secretly packed with Iron Series units. Somehow though, even when divided, Team Dragoon pulled through and destroyed the Wyvern Ship, rendering it unfit to be used again. Eventually, currents drew the wreckage near to Scrapnik Island, and the Scrapniks began salvaging the floating husk for parts. With key flight parts recovered from the engines, and a lot of the remaining metal taken and welded onto the Scrambled Egg Carrier, the machine finally became capable of flight, allowing the Scrapniks to leave their island and forge new paths. 
== Appearance ==
The Wyvern Ship was a huge Eggman Empire warship, with a massive backside peppered with engines, but progressively getting smaller as it approaches the cockpit, where the Egg Wyvern was parked. On the inside, it had a network of hallways that led through a hangar directly to the cockpit, as well as multiple lower levels of hallways snaking between the critical components, used by the maintenance Badniks. It was painted red with white highlights on the outside, and white with red highlights on the inside. Near the front of the ship on either side and in every hangar is a giant Eggman logo. 
After it crashed, the paint started to fade from exposure to the ocean, the cockpit section was completely destroyed, and most of the engines were destroyed or at least heavily damaged. When Eggman decided to use the ruined ship for the development of the Iron Series, he constructed a floating ring equipped with cranes and other construction equipment to keep the ship floating and remake it for it's new purpose. To that end, Eggman added multiple large rooms for testing the Iron Series, mostly replacing the upper hallways. The rooms would later be used for battles with Team Dragoon. 
After Eggman's attempt to destroy Team Dragoon with the Iron Series failed, the ship was left behind, bisected with the engine half barely floating and being dragged along by currents.
== Features ==
The Wyvern Ship was equipped with high end engines, capable of reaching the speed of sound in seconds. For defenses, it was equipped with hundreds of cannons, as well as a swarm of Tornado Disruptor badniks, because the cannons would not be effective enough at handling the Tornado. Inside, it had hangars filled with Badniks as well as a heavily fortified room specifically for Metal Sonic to fight Sonic in. In the cockpit itself, Eggman would pilot the Wyvern Ship by having the Egg Wyvern interface with the ship's controls. Without the Egg Wyvern, however, the Wyvern Ship would follow commands Eggman sent it via the onboard AI. 
When the ship crashed, all of the cannons and engines were rendered inoperable, with Eggman only repairing a few of the cannons, and all onboard Badniks were destroyed. Eggman's conversion of the ship into the Iron Series's main development lab came with multiple additions, such as onboard Iron Series building units, and multiple training rooms to put the Iron Series units through tests after tests.
== Trivia ==
The Wyvern Ship was never intended to bring to mind Sonic 06's Egg Carrier, but as everything went along, it ended up drawing inspiration from it anyways.
As well, it wouldn't have originally survived it's first appearance, but that was changed on a whim.
