History
Past
Imperial City served as one of Eggman's main territories during the war between the Eggman Empire and the Resistance. When he lost the war to Sonic and the Resistance, this city was left in ruin.[2][3]
After the war, when they began looking for Dr. Eggman, the Chaotix Detective Agency started out their search in Imperial City. However, they found nothing there but the city's wreckage.[1]
Trivia
- According to writer Ian Flynn in a post on Twitter, the name of the city comes from the location, Imperial Tower, from the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series where it first appeared in Sonic Forces which was located within the Eggman Empire Fortress. The city itself is a more general location where the Imperial Tower was located.[4]

Or perhaps a more general location where the Imperial Tower was located? Thanks / Ian Flynn: Yes”
