Samus' Gunship as it appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

Samus Aran's Gunship is the private spacecraft of bounty hunter Samus Aran. The Hunter-class gunship is a one of a kind spacecraft. Customly built for Samus by the Federated Shipyards at Aliehs III, it contains a mobile energy recharge system and microfactories designed to produce ammunition. A sophisticated onboard computer stores mission data collected in the field for further reference. [1] The vessel's appearance varies throughout the series, but its us color is usually a yellowish orange, although in a few games the ship appears to be red or even purple.

The gunship first appeared in Metroid II: Return of Samus, although chronologically the ship appears much earlier. Zero Mission, the remake of the original Metroid shows the chronologically earliest appearance of the vessel. The ship's design and size has shifted greatly throughout the series. Surprisingly, some versions of the ship seem almost identical, even though the games are not direct sequels, with different designs being introduced between them. For example the ship seen in Super Metroid makes a 3D appearance in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, but does not appear in any other game of the Prime trilogy.
