## History

### Anime

#### Chaos Saga

The Egg Carrier was created by Dr. Eggman and launched six months after the Egg Fort II was destroyed to find Chaos Emeralds to feed Chaos.
When the Egg Carrier came to pick up Eggman and Chaos 4, Sonic and Tails tried following it in the X Tornado, but it shot the jetplane down above Station Square in an aerial battle, during which Lily fled the Egg Carrier.

From the Egg Carrier, Eggman sent the E-100 Series to locate Froggy who was essential to Chaos's evolution. Meanwhile, ZERO brought back Lily, along with Amy, and put them in the brink. When the Egg Carrier picked up the E-100 units however, Chris and Big snuck onboard. Since only E-102 Gamma had brought the frog, Eggman trashed the other E-100 units and sent Gamma for Lily. However, Amy and Lily convinced Gamma to free them. The Egg Carrier was then attacked by Sonic, Tails and Knuckles in the X Tornado, evading it's defenses.

Onboard the Egg Carrier, Sonic and Tails located Amy, although Eggman got Lily's Chaos Emerald, while Knuckles looked for Master Emerald shards. While Amy convinced Sonic to leave Gamma be as they engaged in battle, their fight damaged the Egg Carrier enough for it to lose altitude. In the meantime, Chris and Big freed Froggy, but then met Eggman on the deck who took Froggy and used it to turn Chaos into Chaos 6. After Sonic and Knuckles beat Chaos, almost everyone fled the Egg Carrier as it crashed into the sea. Amy, Lily and Gamma later returned to the Egg Carrier's remains; Amy sought Lily's family while Gamma sought to deactivate the E-100 units. While Amy stopped ZERO, Gamma completed it's mission at the cost of itself, reuniting Lily with it's family who had been powering the robots. A second Egg Carrier was later deployed against Perfect Chaos, but was easily destroyed by the monster.

#### Homebound Saga

The remains of the Egg Carrier was later salvaged by Dr. Eggman and used to create the Grand Egg Imperial when he returned to Sonic's world. However, that vessel was destroyed by Super Sonic.

### Archie Comics

In the *Sonic X* comic series, the Egg Carrier was rebuilt by Eggman and used many more times.
