The '''Space Pirate ATC''', or the '''Space Pirate Armored Tactical Carrier''', is a spacecraft encountered on [[Norion]] and [[Skytown]] in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''.<ref name="Logbook" />
A '''Space Pirate ATC''', or '''Space Pirate Armored Tactical Carrier''', is a compact yet powerful spacecraft used by the [[Space Pirate]]s. They are only present in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'' and first appeared on [[Norion]] fighting {{samus}} and [[Rundas]]. The ATCs are spacecrafts meant to quickly transport a group of Space Pirates to a battle zone then retreat. Although they have mediocre speed, they are heavily armored. These vehicles are extremely resilient if Samus is not [[Plasma Beam|well-armed]]. These vehicles' only weaknesses are their vents located at their fronts. When these vents are damaged and overheated, they will explode, destroying itself and its passengers.


==Info==
==ATC Offensive==
The Space Pirate ATC is described as being "surprisingly well built and armored". It was designed for rapid transits to and from hot zones, rather than long-term engagements. It comes equipped with Tribeam cannons, which help to provide defensive support while on missions. The ATC's heavier armaments and armor come at the cost of a small fuel supply.<ref name="Logbook" />

Although ATCs are meant for "hit-and-run" tactics, they have two powerful weapons in their arsenal: the Tribeam cannon and the Space Pirates boarding the craft. The Space Pirates leap from the vehicle to attack enemies while the ATCs send in quick attacks from the Tribeam cannon and escape. If, however, ATCs stay for a battle, their Tribeam cannon and defensive capabilities are not a measly force.
==Gameplay==
Space Pirates leap from the ATC to attack enemies, while the ATCs send in quick attacks from their Tribeam cannons and escape. If ATCs stay for battle, their Tribeam cannon and defensive capabilities can deal significant damage to Samus. The ATC's weakspot is its forward-mounted heat vent, which, when dealt enough damage, will cause the craft to explode, killing any Space Pirates aboard.

===Spire Dock Battle===
==Spire Dock Battle==
After placing the [[Theronian Bomb]] on [[SkyTown|SkyTown's]] [[Spire Dock]], a group of [[Aerotrooper]]s, as well as ATCs carrying Space Pirates, attack Samus to defend the [[Leviathan|Leviathan's]] shield. These ATCs attack Samus simultaneously from afar, while Space Pirates rush her in close combat.
After Samus Places the [[Theronian Bomb]] on [[SkyTown|SkyTown's]] [[Spire Dock]], a group of [[Aerotrooper]]s and ATCs carrying Space Pirates attack her to defend the [[Leviathan|Leviathan's]] shield. These ATCs attack two at a time, as Space Pirates rush Samus. While ground Space Pirates attack up close, the ATCs shoot their Tribeam cannons at Samus, making it difficult to take either out quickly. Once they are defeated, Samus can safely manage the single [[Escape Pod|escape pod]].
