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 Aran|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.

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.
