StoryEdit
The Egg Fleet is first introduced in Sonic Heroes as a gigantic armada of heavily-armed floating battleships, containing what seems like hundreds or thousands of battleships. Each battleship was armed with powerful cannons, and resembled an aquatic creature.
The armada first appears to Team Sonic when they defeat the Egg Albatross, flying away from the base, which was described as a distraction so the fleet could launch without interference. The Egg Fleet was deployed by Neo Metal Sonic to conquer the Earth after overthrowing Eggman. The game's last two stages are set in this vast armada, where all four teams, Team Sonic, Team Dark, Team Rose and Team Chaotix fly make their way from minor warship to minor warship ,and destroying at least one each, teams until the level is complete, where it is followed by all teams having to make its way through the central flag ship, the Final Fortress. It is here where they confront Neo Metal Sonic (disguised as Dr. Eggman) and the final boss for each team's story mode (apart from the final story) is fought, the Egg Emperor.
In the Egg Fleet stage, there is a lot of choices of paths and opportunity for rings, level ups, and lives. In the Final Fortress stage, the paths are covered in cannon fires, laser grids, laser targeting rails, several bottomless pits and waves of highly powerful enemies, bringing the player's team skills to the ultimate test.
At the end of Team Sonic's story line, Team Sonic managed to destroy the majority of the Egg Fleet, thus foiling Neo Metal Sonic's plans with it. During the last story, Neo Metal Sonic destroys a large proportion of the Final Fortress in his attempt to transform into Metal Madness and fuses to the flag ship. He later detaches from the flag ship as Metal Overlord, and during the battle with Team Super Sonic, he would snatch the remaining Mako Shark Gunship and throw them at the team.
At the end of Sonic Heroes most of the Egg Fleet were laid to waste. Though the Final Fortress and large amount of the Egg Fleet still survived the encounter however, the types featured in Sonic Heroes have not reappeared since.
LayoutEdit
The Egg Fleet contains the following ships. With the notable exception of Final Fortress (Which is labeled as the Whale Shark Flagship and Final Fortress by Team Chaotix's mysterious client and the game itself, respectively), the ship's names are not official, but instead a nickname due to its shape.
- Mako shark gunship - A red ship shaped like a mako shark. It was the basic ship of the fleet, and was armed with a battery of cannons.
- Sawfish battleship - A formidable ship, larger and more heavily armed than the gunships and shaped like a blue sawfish. In the background of the Egg Fleet stage, it shows that one battleship leads a group of five gunships. They can be destroyed by spinning into their internal mechanisms, causing the bridge to self-destruct.
- Manta ray ship - A giant purple ship in the shape of a manta ray. Though they are battle ships of similar function as the other ships, none of the characters actually board any of these ships. Their size is unknown, but is assumed to be greater than the sawfish ships.
Added by Ghostytreat- Whale Shark/Final Fortress - This massive ship is the flagship of the Egg Fleet. It is in the shape of a whale shark and is much larger than any of Eggman's previous flying fortresses. The Final Fortress was heavily armed, and could have easily been the equivalent of the rest of the fleet in size and armament. It's also where the final levels take place. It was never destroyed in the end of Sonic Heroes with Eggman presumably deciding to hide it and repair it for further use. Eggman uses this ship at the beginning of Sonic Chronicles. As Sonic and his friends are battling the tyrant, Tails rips out the cords of what may have been the main controlling system of the entire ship, resulting in it's loss of control, collapse, and it's subsequent collision onto Metropolis while Sonic and his friends escaped via the Tornado.

Other Game AppearancesEdit
Shadow the HedgehogEdit
The Egg Fleet (now named the Eggman Fleet) would later make a minor reappearance in Shadow the Hedgehog. After Dr. Eggman witness Black Doom's destruction of Westopolis, the doctor realizes that there will be nothing left for him to create his Eggman Empire on if Black Doom continues. As such, he calls in the Eggman Fleet into action, determined to put a stop to this.
The Eggman Fleet presented in this game is far less numerous than in Sonic Heroes, and does not spot an animal theme, but are able to instantly teleport to their designated location. In the Sky Troops stage, the Eggman Fleet is met with resistance from the Black Arms' ruin-ship, which was activated by Shadow the Hedgehog in Glyphic Canyon and they engage each other in the stratosphere. If the player choses the stage's dark mission, Shadow will assist the Black Arms in destroying the Eggman Fleet.
Sonic UnleashedEdit
While not given a name, the Eggman Fleet reappeared in the opening of Sonic Unleashed, this time as a massive and heavily armed space armada. While it appeared as a mean for Dr. Eggman to conquer the world, its actual purpose was to guard Dr. Eggman's Chaos Energy Cannon, which was created to release Dark Gaia. The fleet itself was eventually boarded by Sonic and heavily damaged by his super form Super Sonic in his subsequent battle with Dr. Eggman.
Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Edit
The Egg Fleet's main airship, the Final Fortress also appeared in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing where 3 course took place there including Turbine Loop, Dark Arsenal, and Thunder Deck.
Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie)Edit
The Egg Fleet made an apeparance in Archie Comics's Sonic the Hedgehog. Constructed by Dr. Eggman, the Egg Fleet was meant to be the mad doctor ultimate weapon angainst his enemies and a vital key in his conquest of Mobius. During its time, the Egg Fleet had many successes such as eliminating the rouge A.D.A.M., the Destruction of Knothole and much more. The Egg Fleet was however finally destroyed in battle by an enraged Enerjak.
