Description
The Great War was a war that took place between the Echidna Empire and the Drakon Empire 8,000 years ago over ownership of the Chaos Emeralds. With Tikal's abilities, Sonic was warped back in time and also participated in the war.

Build up
The Drakon Empire had established themselves as a dominating force across the galaxy, conquering all planets in their wake and colonizing them to spread their reign. In this time, scientists on Drak had created Chaos energy, a powerful but highly unstable energy source. None of the planets they owned had a vessel capable of storing such energy, so the Drakons continued their universal conquests. One day, the Drakons happened upon Mobius' Emerald mines and began watching the planet for several months. One day, they invaded, taking control of the mines and stole seven Emeralds. The gems, when combined with the Chaos energy, formed the legendary Chaos Emerlad.

Two days before the war began, Pochacamac, leader of the Echidna Empire, managed to steal the sacred emeralds back from the Drakons, both to keep to return them to their true home and to prevent the Drakons from conquering the entire galaxy.

The War
Angered by Pochacmac's actions, the Drakons sent out a scout to examine the Echidna defenses before sending a full-scale invasion force to claim the emeralds. A battle erupted inside Pochacmac's command room, with Drakon prosecutor and Sentinels fighting against Sonic the Hedgehog and echidnas armed with Guardian Robot. The fight was briefly interrupted when a prosecutor struck the emeralds with his Dimensional Staff, causing a chain reaction that turned a fallen Drakon warrior into the mighty Chaos. The ensuing explosion weakened the gathered Drakon soldiers enough for Knuckles and the other tribesmen to fight back while Sonic and Pochacmac took care of Chaos. After a final push, the echidnas drove the Drakon invaders out of the city.
