Samus' new Gunship in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

Samus Aran's Gunship is the private spacecraft of bounty hunter Samus Aran. The Hunter-class gunship is a one of a kind spacecraft. Customly built for Samus by the Federated Shipyards at Aliehs III, it contains a mobile energy recharge system and microfactories designed to produce ammunition. A sophisticated onboard computer stores mission data collected in the field for further reference. [1] Throughout the series Samus uses different models of the gunship, some of which are her own design.[2]

The gunship first appeared in Metroid II: Return of Samus, although chronologically the ship appears much earlier. Zero Mission, the remake of the original Metroid shows the chronologically earliest appearance of the vessel. The ship's design and size has 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 Prime trilogy.

The gunship that appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is a new design that combines Chozo and Federation technology. 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.[2]
