'''Exterior Docking Hangar''' is a room where [[Samus Aran|Samus]] first lands her ship at the [[Frigate Orpheon]] and the first room Samus enters in ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]''.

==Appearance and Navigation==
[[file:Tallon IV mp1 Screenshot 01.png|250px|thumb|left|Samus arriving at the Exterior Docking Hangar, with [[Tallon IV]] in the background]]
The area is surrounded by orange force fields, which prevent Samus from returning to her [[Samus Aran's Gunship|gunship]] or stepping into the vacuum of space.<ref name="Gunship">{{cite|Energy Force Field in place. You cannot reach your gunship.|Scan Data|[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]}}</ref> There are two other blue force fields Samus must disable by shooting targets; the second set of these targets are inactive and must be activated by [[Scan Visor|scanning]] a small terminal before they can be disabled. This room includes the docking area that appears open to the vacuum of space and a separated hallway referred to in scan data as the "Main Docking Bay."

From here, Samus has an excellent view of the [[Tallon IV|planet below]] the frigate and surrounding space, including several nearby star clusters and an asteroid field. Asteroids that stray near the frigate beyond the screen of the force fields can be shattered by a shot from her [[Power Beam]].

After venturing through and exiting this room, Samus does not need to return to it until she is escaping the destruction of Frigate ''Orpheon''. When she does arrive a second time, Samus heads straight to her gunship and leaves, following a fleeing [[Meta Ridley]].

==Trivia==
*The section of hallway in this room is called the "Main Docking Bay" in scan data, but is included as part of the Exterior Docking Hangar on the map.
*There are slow-floating asteroids floating around Exterior Docking Hangar; Samus can shoot and shatter these rocks.
*Exterior Docking Hangar is the first formally named room in which Samus sets foot.
