Spacecraft Classifications
Aries-class
Aries-class transporters are used to drop off marines to combat zones.[1]
Griffin-class
Griffin-class frigates are used as escort vessels to larger ships.[1] The G.F.S. Enkidu, docked at the Federation outpost on the planet Norion was a frigate of this class.
Hunter-class
Hunter-class ships are small, agile and armed to the teeth with firepower. They act as movable bases for one-man operations. Ideal for bounty hunters, all Samus's ships are Hunter-class. Samus's gunships contain mobile energy recharge systems and microfactories designed to produce ammunition. A sophisticated onboard computer stores mission data collected in the field for further reference. [2]
Throughout the series Samus uses different models of the gunship, some of which are her own design. The gunship that appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is equipped with a powerful Chozo biotech computer that can interface with Samus's command visor to deliver aerial bombardment to locations of her choosing. The ship also carries a biohazard scanner. All Samus's gunships utilize both Federation and Chozo technology.[3]
Olympus-class
The Olympus-class battleships are the first Federation capital ships designed to use an onboard Aurora Unit. They are the flagships of the fleet they serve in, usually commanded by an officer of flag rank. Battleships of this class have smaller crews than most ships of a similar size due to the precense of the Aurora Unit. The space saved in crew support is used for more battle systems. The enormous vessels are poerwed by Fuel Gel, making the scarce commodity of extreme value to the Federation military.[4]
Stiletto-class
At the time the events of Metroid Prime 3 took place, Stiletto-class fighters were the newest type of Galactic Federation fighters, used throughout the fleet.[1]
