Gesellschaft

The Gesellschaft (ゲゼルシャフト号) is a large airship belonging to the Bonne family of Air Pirates. It is manned by Tron Bonne's Servbots and is armed with numerous cannons, grenades, and the Bonne's energy orb beam. Its weakspots are the circular skull emblem on the bow of the ship, its wings, and its underside.

The Misadventures of Tron Bonne
Without telling anyone, Teisel Bonne borrowed a million Zenny from Lex Loath to fund the construction of the Gesellschaft, getting the best kind of equipment for Tron Bonne and the Servbots, allowing them to finish the job faster than it would have taken. The game begins with the airship near complete, with all system green and able to fly. To recover the spent money, Teisel goes to the Nakkai Desert with the Gustaff, Bon Bonne and six Servbots in search of a legendary Refractor known as Diana's Tear. Teisel says Tron should stay in the Gesellschaft after all the work she did in its construction, but she helps from the airship by communicating with Teisel.

During the mission, Tron loses contact with Teisel and she uses a Drache to go for his last know location, where she finds the Gustaff damaged and the Servbots crying and scared. After calming down, the Servbots explain that Teisel and Bon were captured by one of Loath's men, Glyde, so Teisel can pay his debt working for him. Afterwards they return to the Gesellschaft and search for Teisel's IOU, discovering his one million zenny debt. Tron decides she will obtain the money to pay her brother's debt, starting her misadventures in Ryship Island.

The Gesellschaft is used as a central hub in the game. Tron can explore the airship, interact with the Servbots, improve the Gustaff, sell items to obtain money and other options. In the beginning only the HQ, Lab, Storage, Cafe, Meeting Room, and Gym can be accessed, but as the player progresses in the game, more rooms become available as the Servbots complete their construction.

After rescuing her brothers, Loath activates the Colossus and the building they are in starts collapsing. Tron calls the Gesellschaft to pick them up as fast as possible, and the three Bonne siblings miraculously manage to escape to the airship in time. They use the Gesellschaft to attack the Colossus. However, the airship's missiles cause no harm to the giant, and it counterattacks with two beams that cause great damage. One of the airship's engines is destroyed, losing 50% of its power, the right wing is damaged, Teisel is knocked overboard and Tron is injured. Before passing out, Tron places her favorite Servbot in charge and tells him to continue the attack against Loath. The favorite and other six Servbots jump from the Gesellschaft with the Gustaff to stop the Colossus, successful shutting it down and stealing its Golden Refractor before it collapses. Afterwards the Bonne family throw a party in the airship's Cafe to celebrate their victory and the acquisition of a highly valuable Refractor, but when the favorite Servbot was cleaning the Storage Room, he accidentally threw away the golden Refractor, and Tron takes him to the Torture Room for a severe punishment.

Mega Man Legends
The Bonne family arrive in Kattelox Island with the Gesellschaft, Teisel leaving Tron and Bon in in charge of the attack to the island while he waits aboard. However, Mega Man Volnutt defeats them, and when Teisel turns on the TV to watch Steel Prince, he sees a newscast of the occurrence. Angry, he too fights against Mega Man but is also defeated. In the airship, the Bonnes discuss the situation in the Meeting Room and decide to focus their attack on Mega Man. After their defeat in Lake Jyun, the Bonnes decide to wait for Mega Man to open the Main Gate for them.

After the Main Gate is opened, the Bonnes use the Gesellschaft against Mega Man's airship, the Flutter. Being unable to avoid them, Mega Man moves to the top of the Flutter to defend it. He discovered its weak points and manages to destroy the airship, and the Bonnes abandon ship with the Focke-Wulf before it explodes. The Bonnes use the Focke-Wulf to continue their attack, but are ultimately defeated and are apparently killed in the following explosion, but it's later revealed that they somehow survived the explosion.

With the destruction of the Gesellschaft, the Bonne family leaves Kattelox Island with a boat created with the remains of their machines, and they use Draches as their main transport in Mega Man Legends 2.
