The Pirate Skiff, or the "Shrike" Class Assault Skiff, are rapid moving and unarmed skiffs produced by the Space Pirates in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

Info

The Pirate Skiff began production immediately after its plans were stolen by Space Pirates from a Galactic Federation laboratory. Described as a "fast-moving skiff", it is primarily used for troop transport and is a part of most Pirate operations. Though heavily armored, it is not equipped with any weaponry, instead relying on the firepower of the troops aboard the Skiff.^[1]^[2]

Gameplay

Samus briefly encounters the Pirate Skiff in Agon and in the Temple Grounds, then later in Torvus where the Pirates ambush her in the Temple.
