The Battle Cruiser[1] is an object that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It was a ship created and used by the Dark Legion in 3236 following their failure to take over Echidnaopolis politics.
Description[]
Features and abilities[]
The main arsenal of the Battle Cruiser is the Quantum Beam, which transports its targets to an alternate Zone.[2]
History[]
Usage[]
The Battle Cruiser was used to transport all of the mobians on Angel Island to another zone to allow the Dark Legion to claim the island as their own. When Chaos Knuckles arrived on the scene and offered an alliance to Dimitri in exchange for undoing the Quantum Beam's effects, Tobor and Kragok re-emerged from the Twilight Zone, and Tobor hurled himself and Kragok into the ship, disabling the weapon.[2][3][4]
Destruction[]
Some time later, the Battle cruiser was shot down during a aerial battle between the Dark Legion and the invading Eggman Empire.[5]
Trivia[]
- The Battle Cruiser's design appears to be based off of a Klingon Bird of Prey from the Star Trek franchise.
- Although the Battle Cruiser's fate was never shown nor referenced in the series, writer Ian Flynn confirmed that the Battle Cruiser was shot down in an epic aerial battle during the Eggman Empire's invasion.[5]
