The Syndicate was a terrorist group led by Doctor Zachary. From their flying fortress, the Death Carrier, they planned to use the Chaos Siphon to set off a chain reaction that would have destroyed Mobius, but were foiled by Sonic using a Chaos Tap. They are also responsible for stealing the Chaos Emeralds and using them to destroy the Special Zone. The group has since disbanded.
Members[]
- Doctor Zachary : The group's de facto leader. Captured by Knuckles and brought back to the Floating Island after being betrayed by Vichama.
- Doctor Robotnik: Insane former ruler of Mobius. Mute and driven by a murderous need to personally kill Sonic. Disappeared in the explosion of the Death Carrier, but has since returned, partly controlling the New Robotnik Empire.

- Vichama : The God of Death, initially in the form of a muscle-bound echidna from the ancient past. When the Syndicate's plan backfired, he used the Chaos Emeralds to escape his echidna body, taking on a spectral form. Later returned to the Floating Island and revealed his true form, only to be killed by Knuckles and his own undead army.
- Rouge the Bat: Treasure hunter and double agent, secretly working for the Drakon Empire. Disappeared as soon as the Chaos Siphon began to backfire. Currently being pursued by Dunzi and the Household Keepers.
