The [[Galactic Federation]] classifies spacecrafts into several categories. Most of these can only be witnessed flying by or docked at various locations, but throughout the series Samus gets to visit quite a few vessels of different designs. Most notable of these is naturally Samus's very own Hunter-class [[Samus Aran's Gunship|Gunship]]. | The [[Galactic Federation]] classifies spacecrafts into several categories.

Anhur-class warships are state-of-the-art Federation vessels, designed to police and defend planetary systems. One such ship, the [[G.F.S. Tyr]] was forced to land on [[Aether]] after engaging a Space Pirate convoy, just prior to the events of [[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]. During her visit on Aether Samus gets the rare opportunity to visit an Anhur-class ship.<ref>{{cite|The Anhur class is a state-of-the-art warship, designed to police and defend planetary systems.

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 presence of the Aurora Unit. The space saved in crew support is used for more battle systems. The enormous vessels are powered by [[Fuel Gel]], making the scarce commodity of extreme value to the Federation military.<ref>Metroid Prime 3: Corruption logbook: Galactic Federation Data: Olympus-Class Battleship.</ref> The [[G.F.S. Olympus]] and [[G.F.S. Valhalla]] were ships of this class. | The Olympus-class battleships are the first Federation capital ships designed to use an onboard [[Aurora Unit]].
