Samus' Gunship as it appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

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.
