Technology from the Missile Launchers seems to have been adapted by the Federation for use on ships. In [[Federation Landing Site]], a GF post in [[Bryyo]], [[Samus Aran's Gunship|Samus's gunship]] can be armed with [[Ship Missile]]s. These Missiles were likely used by the Federation as a defensive measure, though Samus uses them mainly to clear large obstructions. | Technology from the Missile Launchers seems to have been adapted by the Federation for use on ships.
