Banishment of the Echidnas

The Banishment of the Echidnas was a major event in which the inhabitants of Albion-nearly all remaining Echidnas on Mobius-were banished to an unknown location (presumably away from the planet) by the Tasmanian Devil known as Thrash. The event occurred in the year 3237, just days or hours before the activation of the second and Super Genesis Waves, making this the ultimate fate of the Echidna race in the Pre-Super Genesis Wave Timeline.

Victims
The following individuals are known to be amoung those who were banished: Julie-Su and Saffron are the only individuals who were not in Albion at the time to be banished, as they were on Angel Island guarding the Master Emerald in Knuckles' absence; Thrash having gone there before heading to Albion. Additionally, Saffron is the only non-Echidna to be banished, most likely because she simply got in the way.
 * Albion Dark Egg Legion
 * Julie-Su
 * Knecapeon Mace
 * Komi-Ko
 * Lara-Le
 * Lien-Da
 * Remington
 * Saffron Bee
 * Wynmacher

The only known Echidnas left on Mobius after the event were Knuckles, Dr. Finitevus and Dimitri. Not long before the event, Mari-An and her infant son Jon O'Hedge mysteriously disappeared, along with their husband and father Rob o' the Hedge, the family last being seen around Never Lake. It's unknown whether they were still on Mobius.

Background Information

 * The reason the Echidas banishment came about in real life, was due to the infamous lawsuit between Archie Comics and former Archie Sonic headwriter Ken Penders, whom had created the vast manority of the additional Echidna characters that were involved. The event was added to the "Endangered Species" story arc at the last minute due to the lawsuit reaching its height at the time story was being published.
