'''Samus Aran's Gunship''' is the private spacecraft of bounty hunter [[Samus Aran]]. The [[Spacecraft Classifications|Hunter-class]] gunship is a one of a kind spacecraft. It was custom built for Samus by the [[Federated Shipyards]] at [[Aliehs III]]. It contains a mobile energy recharge system, microfactories designed to produce ammunition, and sophisticated onboard computer stores mission data collected in the field for further reference.<ref name=MP2/> Throughout the series | '''Samus Aran's Gunship''' is the private spacecraft of bounty hunter [[Samus Aran]].

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 ''[[Metroid Prime (series)|Metroid Prime series]]''. The ship is easily recognizable from the landing mechanisms located at the bottom of the ship. | ||
''Zero Mission'' marks the only appearance of Samus's original red gunship, as it is destroyed at the end of the game. All her ships from this point on are a yellowish orange color, with the exception of her chronologically latest purple ship, seen in ''[[Metroid Fusion]]''. | ''Zero Mission'' marks the only appearance of Samus's original red gunship, as it is destroyed at the end of the game.

It was designed by Samus Aran, based off her original gunship. Like its predecessor, the new model was also constructed at Aliehs III. The vessel is equipped with a powerful Chozo biotech computer that can interface with Samus's [[Command Visor]] to deliver aerial bomb raids to locations of her choosing. The [[Ship Missile|ship's weaponry]] is capable of destroying structures made of [[Maldium]], otherwise invulnerable to Samus's regular weapons. The ship also carries a [[Biohazard Scanner]].<ref name=MP3/> | ||

The vessel makes its first and only appearance in [[Metroid: Zero Mission]]. The ship's coloring and design resemble the [[Power Suit]]'s helmet. In the beginning of the game Samus lands the ship on planet [[Zebes]] to begin her "Zero Mission". Once her objective is complete she takes off but is soon ambushed by a group of Space Pirate fighters. Her ship is shot down and forced to crash land back on the surface of Zebes. Samus eventually escapes the planet in an escape pod, leaving her ship to be destroyed in an explosion. The vessel is never rebuilt in this design. | ||
