'''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 uses different models of the gunship, some of which are her own design.<ref name=MP3/> | '''Samus Aran's Gunship''' is the private spacecraft of bounty hunter [[Samus Aran]].

The ship's design and size have 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 [[Metroid Prime (series)|Metroid Prime series]]. The ship is easily recognizable from the landing mechanisms located at the bottom of the ship. | The ship's design and size have shifted greatly throughout the series.

=== | ===Zero Mission Ship=== | ||
The gunship | [[File:MZM_Starship_Official_Art.png|thumb|250px|The first gunship was destroyed on Samus's [[Metroid: Zero Mission|Zero Mission]].]]Although not the first ship to be introduced to the series, the Zero Mission Ship is chronologically the first gunship to be piloted by Samus Aran. 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 crashland 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. | ||
==== | No ship is seen in the original ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'' at all. The game begins with Samus already entering the caverns of Zebes, leaving the ship and its design to the imagination of the player.<br clear=all> | ||

===Prime Ship=== | |||
[[File:Gunship MP1.png|250px|thumb|Samus Aran's second gunship seen in [[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]]]The ship appearing in ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'' and ''[[Metroid Prime: Hunters]]'' is of a new design. The most visible difference to the previous design, and the different models that succeeded the ship, are the four maneuvering thrusters, located on the bottom of the vessel. ''Metroid Prime'' opens with Samus approaching the [[Frigate Orpheon]] aboard her new ship, using the thrusters to make fine adjustments to her landing. | |||
In both ''Prime'' and ''Hunters'' the ship is referred to as a [[Spacecraft Classifications|Hunter-class]] gunship, the first ship to be categorized like this. The later models are all Hunter-class, except for the Fusion ship which cannot be scanned in the game. | |||
The ship resembles Samus's classic ship, first introduced in ''[[Metroid II: The Return of Samus]]'', but it's clearly a different design. Like with the first ship the design resembles Samus's Power Suit, with its coloring and structure.<br clear=all> | |||
===Classic Ship=== | |||
[[File:Samus19.png|250px|thumb|The first ever appearance of the gunship in [[The Return of Samus]].]]The gunship first appeared in ''[[Metroid II: Return of Samus]]'', although chronologically the ship appears much earlier in the series [[timeline]], in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.<br clear=all> | |||
===Corruption Ship=== | |||
The gunship appears in {{mp3}} with a more active role than other games.<br clear=all> | |||
